I'm looking for a new/used (new to me) LQ trailer. I'm new to horses and I'm really getting into all of this for dog trials.
I'm looking at the Trials West sierra 13 X 18 3h slideout, bunkbeds and onan gen.
I have 3 questions.
1. Is Trails West a good brand and is the sierra a decent line for them?
2. I have a 04 Chevy 2500HD duramax 4 X 4. Is that enough truck? I'm more than willing to add more springs/suspension stuff if need be.
3. Is there another trailer company that makes a bunkbed version? I've got a kid coming and I don't see another way to be confortable in a trailer. We spend a ton of time in the trialer (we have a RV trailer right now) (80-100 days a year) and need to be comfortable
I did a search for trails west and didn't find much on this board.

I can't answer everything but I had a TW and yes, theya re pretty good trailers. I did not have a LQ TW, the one I did have a more of a entry level model. I did not get another TW since I wanted a all alum trailer.

Your truck should be plenty to haul this size of trailer, however some may beg to differ and suggest you tow with a dually. You would have more stability with this size trailer as far as pulling and yes, adding more springs might be something to look into. I own the same truck/year and pull a 3H Gooseneck with a 6' short wall and have lots of power, and feel very comfortable pulling this size trailer with it. I love it!
I have seen the Trails West Sierra line and they are very nice for a steel/aluminum type trailer.
