We have a 2008 Elite 3H GN LQ and a 2009 Cimarron 3H BP. Here are my comparisons. I prefer the drop down window bars on the Elite. The Elite hinges are heavier but the Cimarron hinges have grease fittings. The Cimarron sliding windows all have small knobs on them which makes them easier to close from outside the trailer. The Cimarron rear tack saddle rack must be taken out before removing all the mats because it fits through a hole cut in one of the mats. The beams in the floor of the Cimarron have ridges that collect dirt and debris when sweeping or hosing out the horse compartment. The flat sheet metal floor of the Elite is a little easier to clean. I feel that the window and door latches on the Elite are a little nicer than those on the Cimarron. The Elite came with a camper door latch on the first stall escape door. The chest bar interfers with that latch on the inside of the trailer making it hard to shut the door when it is in place. Since we very seldom haul three horses in the Elite this really isn't a problem for us. Just some small items to look at when making your choice. You should be happy with either brand. BOL

thanks everyone for your comments,Iwas leaning toward a Cimarron but seems the Elite has a lot of fans. Are there any Cimarron fans. Also anyone have any problems with mangers in the Elites or Cimarrons?
