Love my 04 Norstar. Door & divider latches are the best of any trailer out there. Everything about it is heavy duty. 5/8" thick honeycomb composite roof, great insulating value and stong enough to walk on without worrying about where the seams are.

The Cimmaron trailer is probably the "silent giant" of the industry. It is one of the best engineered trailers on the market. I call it a cross between the Hart and Sundowner; with everything being built for the long haul. Since Cimmaron don't do their own living quarters; just make sure the LQ part of the trailer has the same quality as the shell does.

Originally the Norstar series was built by CM. It was sold and became Cimarron. They were basically the same although Cimarron has made numerous positive change through the last several years.

The Norstar line has always been manufactured at the Cimarron Plant in Oklahoma. The former owner of CM, used to own half of the Cimarron plant in Chickasha and the Norstar was marketed under the CM name from 2000 to 2004.

No, the CM Norstars were fine. The changes have been more in syle changes. The structure has remained the same. Actually, at the time CM sold the Norstar it was sold to the man who was running the Norstar plant for CM and they are still made in the same plant today. Or Ben has this even more accurate in detail than I do on the transition.

I did not know that cimmaron was using the honeycomb roof also. We use a 1" thick honeycomb in our aluminum trailers and that style roof is the way to go. I would bet that most all manufacturers will go to this style roof before too long.
We actually have aluminum bows made into our honeycomb as added strength, strongest roof available.
