So what is your most favorite thing about your trailer and what is your least favorite thing? I'll start, my most favorite thing, the ramp on the side for the first horse. We use this first stall as storage and it is so much easier to get in and out of with a ramp. My least favorite thing about my trailer? I have to share it with my husband :)

Ok, I'll chime in. I love that my LQ is smaller (6 ft. shortwall) and thus easy to haul, go though gas stations, etc. We are always outside anyway. But I wish I had a sink in the bathroom. So I guess I'll have to move up someday.

Favorite = built in generator with on board 20 gallon fuel tank and remote start in LQ :-)Least favorite... wish hay rack had expanded aluminum mesh floor on top of bars. Bars alone are hard to walk on. Wish microwave was also convection.

Favorite for horses: the ramp Favorite for me: on board generator to run the ducted heat and air. I forgot least favorite. I don't like the slickness of the mats--one of my horses fell unloading Monday because the horse behind him had the ryegrass squirts and I had no shavings in there. I wish I had a side door on the rear tack so I didn't have to let the ramp down to get to my stuff. I also wish it was a 4 horse, but I was limited on length and traded the 4th hole for more room in the LQ.

Favorite thing is the size. 14' shortwall and a 10' slide out. I could never go smaller.
Least favorite. I don't have onboard generator. I carry one on the semi but not as handy.

I like rear doors that pivot 270 degrees against the trailer's body. They prevent the wind from ripping the hold backs on the doors that only pivot 90 degrees. I much prefer stall dividers with slam latches instead of the various pin devices. Drop down windows that retain the bars in the body are a bonus. Screens on windows protect delicate eyes. An easy maintenance flooring, that reduces or eliminates pulling mats is very helpful. Auxiliary lighting is important when night loading. Having more axle and tire capacity than the trailer's maximum loading, greatly increases its durability. An aluminum construction reduces our maintenance and greatly provides much pleasure of ownership.
Having the accessories that you need, the floor plan that best suits your needs, and the trailer properly sized to your uses, makes each outing a pleasurable experience.

Most favorite thing is its paid for. I'd say favorite thing is dinette (and over all size, 14' short wall) Enough room to be comfy for extended trips with hubbyLeast favorite thing(s) no ramp, and no generator

My most favorite thing is the furnace. It gets used way more than the AC. My second most favorite is the on-board generator with remote start and a slide out. My least favorite is that I should have ordered it with drop down windows on the butt side.

3 horse 4-star, 8 wide, with a 8.7 LQ by outlaw: I really like the size of this trailer. The LQ is big enough for me, with a nice size bathroom vanity, favorite thing, lots of room to spread out in there. It is easy to haul both for camping and going to shows. Love the drop down windows on front and back for the hot Texas summer. Built in generator in the last manger, but I wish it was on top so I'd have more storage in managers. I do wish I had one more closet for my cloths. Everything stays in my overnight bag on the bed. Since it just me, I just push it over to the side to sleep. My tack door swing towards the horse door. I like this because I don't have to walk around an open door to saddle my horse.

Favorite - The large fridge & freezer. The mudroom is a close second
Least favorite - It has a couch/table instead of a dining booth. And wish it was 8' wide.

Lots of favorites--8ft.wide love the bathroom and storage inside. Love the mangers. Goes with out saying the AC. but now we have a furnace. I Guess best of all it is paid for.Least favorite is--the door to bath room swings instead of slides so you can not use it if the couch is down for bed. Large fridge would be nice too.All and all so happy!!

Least favorite is the narrow rear tack that makes putting four saddles in or out a real fight. And runner up is the fact that I haven't installed a shower yet.
Most favorite - it's mine! No one else rides anymore do I don't have to share. It's paid for! It's big. And so far the absolute best thing I've added to it is the furnace -- oh heaven to have heat during an April clinic in Canada!
