We are looking at a used 2002 Exiss 3 horse w/ 14ft LQ. Being that this is an older trailer I'm wondering what others have experienced as their Exiss aged. Do they hold up well with years of use or do they fall apart?

Well, like anything else, part of that depends on the handler, and some luck too. Ours is a 2001, 8' wide and 32' long and has held up fine, has had several trips across the Rockies, and we get off the pavement a good deal too. We don't run full tilt over rockpiles, but we are rarely in the manicured campground either.

I own a 2000 Exiss Event 3H Gh with Midtack and weekender. It has held up very well. I don't abuse it but I don't really baby it either. Last year we had the brakes redone ( first time) and some of the running lights don't work ( need to replace) but for a rig thats traveld all over Mi,to Il to Ky to MN....it has served me well. I plan to keep it until there is nothing left of her....

We have an 01 Exiss 3 horse with 8ft SW and Midtack. It is in great shape. We don't drag it through the pastures but it has been on a lot of gravel roads.

I have a 2001 STC20 and rather than buying a new one I have decided to invest in modifying the one I have because it's still in such great shape. We haul cattle and the horses in it, but we do clean it out after each use and maintain it regularly. I have heard the newer models are not built quite the same but I don't have personal knowledge of this.
My DR door isn't one I really like compared to my friends newer model one and we had to repair some water damage to it after it leaked. We have had to reseal the roof a few times but structurally there have been no issues.
