Hi everyone, I have a quick question. I'm looking into the Titan Avalanche 2, I believe. It comes with the option of sliding bus windows in the back or slats. I live in Michigan and would be trailering in the winter and summer. I'm leaning towards the sliding bus windows, but I wanna hear your opinion.~*Kat*~

I just purchased an Avalanche 2 in a 3H gooseneck. Has sliding windows at the butt end. Trailer was on dealer's lot that way, but I would order that way also. I felt I would have much easier flexibility in changing weather with the sliding windows rather than removable plexiglass strips.

Don't have one but was seriously considering this type of trailer. My friend has an Exiss Event stock that has zero insullation and the open slats. It isn't as easy as they say to 'slide' the plexiglass in there- you have to unscrew the slats first. There are no roof vents so in the summer it comes out but if you get caught in a downpour everything gets wet so have to drag the inserts wherever you go. On damp days water drips from the non-insullated roof and the horse is usually blanketed for any winter trips. Even though the stock types are a little cheaper it is worth it and MUCH easier and user friendly to just get windows!Good Luck!

My Logan has sliding bus window/drop downs on the horse side and one sliding plexiglass panel on the but side. I got both worlds here. I don't see a problem, or have a problem with the one panel. I take it out in the summer, better ventilation for my kids in back, and store it under my matress in the tack/sleeping area. When winter comes up, it slides back in. Been caught in the mountains with rain, and never had a problem with water coming in, But we use the back for a shower with a foot pan, so some water is on the floor. It all airs out when we get home. Maybe it just works good for me, but no problems here.

The open slats work for me. Maybe it's the mild climate here that help make it work. My trailer has a little channel, like a mini gutter, over the slats that prevent the water from draining into the trailer and they work fine.
