I hear those trailers a VERY nice!! Top of the line. You will love the Rumber flooring!! It also helps cushion the horses. Nice soft ride. Plus has a 20yr warranty. Good Luck

I was of the understanding they were out of business, but I did get a message when I just called the number.... They do/did not actually build trailers. They sub-contracted them out, using Kiefer for the 8'W & maybe Classic for the 7'W. They are/were a steel frame, aluminun skin trailer. Back in '08 when I saw a few, they had pretty nice interiors, that looked classier than what you'd expect to see in such a trailer

We looked at the Express several times before purchasing our current trailer. The interior layout and quality was pretty good the finish was just ok but again it wasn’t breaking the bank. On the other hand I haven't seen them in the last couple of years.
As to the rumber floor we have a 2003 classic with it and like it except for one thing. Over the years it has gotten slick at the back doors. And the horses when they step in slide some.

I have one!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I love it so much, I make hubby haul the trailer instead of getting a hotel room... LOL
2005 3H, 12' Short Wall, 8" wide with mangers, stud wall, pass through door, rumber floors and the interior comes with everything except an oven... full size fridge, tons of closet space and seperate toilet and shower... My floor plan has a double sink, and a dinette that can be switched around to be a couch if you choose.. Wish I had a queen bed instead of full size but, we manage.
The only thing I have a problem with is, since the trailer is so tall I cannot use the very top saddle rack and most times not the seconed one. they are adjustable but in reality with the saddles on the rack, you can't really sqush them all down low and still slide them on and off... the Rumber floors are actually slippery when wet, so I just make sure we have shavings down when hauling horses. No biggie and for sure worth not having to pull mats. My husband just hoses things down and viola! Clean!
We bought our used just over a year ago, so eventually we will need to replace the awning, and we just put 10 ply tires all around (old ones were original) but since this trailer was never used, it's like brand new...
It is Keifer Built with the Interior done by Xpress in Hemet, CA.
