Hi everyone,
I've been a lurker for some time, and admire all the knowledge that is collectively present in this forum.
I'm finally at a stage where I'm actively looking for a new trailer...I've narrowed it down to GN, straightload, either 2H or 2+1, and will consider either all aluminum or steel/aluminum (that part isn't so crucial to me). I'm posting a link to the model of trailer I've found used (Featherlite GN, 2H straight load, all aluminum, 2003 model, but bought new in 2004, offered for sale for $12 000 Cdn.).
I've been reading all the 'red flag' comments about Featherlite, but was wondering if either:
a) anyone has this trailer or knows of this trailer and has input?
b) is it of the "pre-Universal" era, and therefore of better quality than the new ones?
c) worth considering for my needs, or might I be better to look further? I thought the price was reasonable.
Many thanks in advance for the expert comments I hope to receive!

We have a 2+1 Sooner. Love it, love the style. More camping gear than one can image goes in the mid tack space. and to boot ours is an 8 foot wide trailer my horse can play cards and drink beers back there. But seriously. I am partial to the Featherlight it is a well constructed trailer. and even if it is pre or post Universal trailers it is a nice trailer to have. Good luck
