Do you know the serial number...? If you look at the vin on the trailer or title the last 6 of the vin will have 2 letters. VA or ZA are steel frame and LAor AA are all aluminum. This will always be correct until 2009.

Whitewood said it all. The 720's were very well built, and a "lifetime" trailer. The extruded "plank" on the outside lower half of the trailer is all welded to the upright posts, which makes for a very strong box. All floor planks run cross wise and are interlocked, and than welded to a full length strap that runs underneath the floor. the 720 uses a heavy duty top rail that the posts are welded to, and than the roof radius sits on top of the top rail. Many companies just weld the posts to the roof radius, which makes for a lot less strength. Yes; if your able to purchase a 720; your going to have a well built trailer. The only sad thing is; this model is no longer built by Sundowner. Check out the For Sale section on this website for an idea of pricing.
