Single door Cons...  There isn't anything to hold the last horse in once you open the door.  I have seen horses try to back out while still being tied in the trailer.  Not Pretty.  But that can be avoided if you just use your head while unloading.  I agree with the other post and slats on the butt side would give you greater air flow, but there are pros and cons with that also.

Single door Pros... It great if you want to use your trailer for hauling other things.  You can lead your horse out instead of having to back them out when you have a rear tack. I think Titan offers a single rear door with slats in it.

As far as the color goes I use to have a red trailer and now I have a white one and I can feel the difference on a sunny day.  Its much cooler in the white trailer.  Gray and Silver is lighter than red and closer to white so it may not as noticable.

I have a single door on my day trailer and much prefer the 60-40 doors on my LQ trailer. My day trailer has a kick stand to keep the big door open. My friend's husband saw the kick stand and welded her one too on her Titan trailer. This stand really helps with the wind trying to shut the door.

One good thing about the single door is that it easier to train young horses to load. But if you have experienced loaders, then you will need to train them to wait until asked to unload, instead of trying to turn around while you are opening the door. Sure don't want one trying to bolt out while still tied.

With a two horse BP, there is not much room to have the horse in the second compartment turn around, so I've taught mine to wait until I give the back cue and then come out.

I prefer a rear tack because it gives you more options to store items if you are going to be using the trailer for heavy showing or possible camping. But my day trailer just has a dressing room tack and I've been getting along ok with it for day rides to trails and shows.

White is cooler, and drops on the head, slat (with removable plexiglass) on the hip, and vents will give you maximum airflow. Trailswest BP trailers also offer slats on the rear door with plexiglass , not sure if this is an option with Titan.

Your going to love your Titan trailer because the company stands behind the product.  I had a question which I emailed them earlier this week.  This morning at 8:15 a Titan employee phoned me to answer my question and explain the "whys and wherefores" of what my problem was, and the problem was with the tires.  First, he apologized for not responding sooner but he had been out of town until this morning. 

I've had a couple other occasions to contact the company directly and each time my need has been given top priority and a satisfactory outcome.

When it's time to get another trailer, it will be another Titan.

Hi Ohana,

I don't know if you've ordered your Titan yet, but if you haven't, and the dealer hasn't mentioned it, you might want to look at the Avalanche III. It comes standard with a lot of the things you've mentioned you want, except it also has an escape door at the head of the first horse.  You would have to add windows to the back doors as an extra. 

Regarding single or double doors, i've had both. Initially, I liked the single door so much I didn't want to get double doors. I agree it is a little annoying though to make sure you always have 8 feet of "swing room" to open it, but if you don't have that, could you even get your horse in or out?  I solved the problem of keeping it open on a slant or in wind by tying it with a spare lead rope to one of the ties on the side of the trailer.  Now that I have the double doors, I REALLY like them however. There's just an ease of use to them. If I didn't have the rear tack though I would still get the single door. 

I have the bus windows on the butt side and I wish they were a little bigger b/c even with the vents open and the head side windows I worry there's not enough air circulating.  However, the plexi-glass was a struggle, plus, you needed a funny kind of screwdriver to take it out. Maybe they've changed what they use? I like the look of the bus windows, but  I think the circulation is better with the plexi-glass.

Whatever you end up with you're going to love it. They pull really nicely, and your horses will like it too. Enjoy! :)

Kansashoss,

Do you recall with whom you spoke? Was it a Customer Service Rep or someone higher up? I need to contact them regarding an issue I have and unsatisfactory service from one of their dealers. I'd prefer writing a letter to calling, but I'm not sure to whom to direct it. I've tried researching on the Internet to get specific names but no luck. All I've found are the names of the people who started the company- no indication even if they are the current owners. 

 Any input on who best to contact? 

Thanks,

Ghorse
