Where can I find more info about this trailer model? The numbers don't seem to match anything I can find on the Exiss website.
The trailer is a 2001. I can clearly read Event on the left rear door, and the SS/300 is on both sides. The pictures show the trailer at an angle, so I'm not totally sure of the letters/numbers, but I'm pretty sure.

The 300 Event 3h GN has an 18' box, 7 1/2' goose and a 4' short wall DR or LQ. The SS means it has a painted smooth exterior skin as opposed to the XT models, which have extruded planks welded to the lower half of the sidewalls.
The axles are 5200# with 16" wheels. The standard dimensions are usually 7' wide and 7' high with full running boards. It has a folding rear tack, with 60%-40% rear doors, three reversable vents, rear door windows, head drops, butt sliders and may or may not have a first stall escape door. It will have a walk thru door from the first stall to the forward space.
The dividers are well constructed and have a very easy to use and reliable, slam latches. The flooring is made of aluminum extrusion planks welded to "I" joists.
It's a good trailer and well built. They must have sold a great many of them in 01, as many owners have indicated they have one of that vintage.

I have been emailing the seller of this trailer with some questions.The additional information that I have gotten is as follows:
·air conditioner in the dressing room (aftermarket installation, in the wall below the gooseneck just to the left of the door into the dressing room).
·insulation in the dressing room (also aftermarket, white foam board)
·horse area power washed every fall, all the mats are taken out
·tires were new last fall (they may have 150 miles on them)
·roof resealed last fall
·brakes checked and cleaned this spring
The pictures of the trailer make it appear extremely clean and in very good shape on the exterior, interior pretty darn good too.I suspect that it has been stored inside.Of course, pictures can lie, but the pics are very clear and taken in good lighting.
I think this trailer is a good deal, and while my dream trailer has a full weekender LQ, my reality budget and realistic plans for the near future say this trailer will fit our needs.
If I go look at this trailer with the intent of purchasing, what else should I be looking for?Any “typical” issues with trailers of this brand/age?

This trailer is an excellent candidate for the installation of a "weekender" LQ. It's structure and layout well lends itself to adding a complete, finished interior.
