I have a 2003 Classic (non LQ) but still the same trailer. It has been an outstanding trailer, the fiberglass roof is starting to show some wear but not bad for living in the Arizona sun all its life and I have not been real faithful on roof maintance. The rumber floor has held up well...I wish I had it in my Platinum LQ !

I had a Classic Monarch for 5 years and drug it down a lot of BLM and Forest Service road. It held up very well.
I bought one of their bunk house models, but only keep it a year before I upgraded from a 3H to a 4H.
In general, I really like how my classic trailers were built. But I never keep more than 5 years. They are currently out of business a result of the present ecconomy. I would think you could give that 2008 a good look over and have some idea how well they are holding up, since it is now 4 years old.

Agree Classic trailers are nice.
1st Classic: 2003 2-horse bumper pull. Light and durable. Sat out in the rain of washington for 5 years in the elements with no issues. Didn't like the drop down windows in this year model. They had a habit of bending on the sides from pulling windows up and down. Replaced both windows later on after my young gelding tried jump through it. Sold to upgrade bigger.
2nd Classic: 2008 4 horse gooseneck w/ 4' extended tack room. Great trailer. Love the aluminum and love rumbar flooring. Its easy and durable on the horses. Only issue is i bought this one in californa and am now living in north carolina so the heat and sun has made my rubber pin strip crack and wear out. cost .33 a foot, so for like 20-40 bucks ill replace it all with new. Still have this one, but selling for a LQ trailer.
