Hey all- How do the Exiss SS-20's hold up?  This is the Event model, not Sport which I hear has thinner floors.  Have a gently used 03 nearby. 

Sundowner- Stampede SL- 2horse. THis is new.  Any experiences with Sundowner longevity?  Have avoided these brands due to negative comments on the Exiss and feel Sundowners are overpriced for what you get.  Plus not sure they'll hold up well.

However, found out it is the Exiss Sport to avoid and both of these have fair price tags on them.  LIke the SUndowner for the wider stalls at 42 inch, like the 'rhino-lined' floor and walls, thing seems indestructible.  For the Exiss, it is more enclosed with drop down windows.

Any comments on either of these models?  Both BP around 3000lbs.

Thank you!

I had avoided Sundowner as they seem overpriced. I went and looked at the Stampede and frankly it is just too small (head to tail) despite the wide stalls.  I was also shocked that the beams under the floor were spaced at 24 inches!  Most are 12-15 inches.  I only considered it as the price was dropped to $9,600. The used one (model 777) I saw at Congress did not seem to hold up as well and it was an '04.  May have just been that one but wasn't impressed.

I started this thread because Sundowner really seems to have a following and though someone may have used this model for a larger horse.  The comparable Exiss has a larger footprint and the Event model has thicker alum. so will be checking out that one next.  Thanks all.

I totally agree.  I too paid attention to beam spacing, aluminum thickness etc when trailer shopping 6 years ago.  Those reasons and price are the why I chose an Exiss over some other brands.  I've been very happy with my decision.
