Hello all, it has been about 15 years since I first purchased my first horse trailer. I am iterested in a new aluminum trailer. I know this is a super broad question, but I would like to get some opinions. This is not to knock anyones trailer they currently use, so please be courteous to other users. These are the parimeters I am looking to stay in.Gooseneck 3H Either LQ/or shellEasiest maintenance Under $30,000If you are biased...just let me know what trailers what to STAY AWAY FROM.I will be pulling it with either a FORD, CHEVY, or GMC Heavy Duty. No decision has bee made becuase my father will be choosing the truck!!! THanks to all. Trust me, I have done all of my research and homework, but Its so much easier to get opinions of trailer owners.

I don't know much about LQ trailers, we just kinda "make-do" camp in our trailers DR!! BUT, if I were looking for a "new", 3 horse with a LQ, then I would have to give this guy a call. I know nothing about this person or trailer, just saying !!! LOOK! http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/trailerdetail.asp?ID=149121

Do a search on the different brands of which you are interested. Most of the more popular ones are well discussed, and you will be able to form opinions about those that most closely suit your needs.
Check the "Trailer For Sale" section and you can learn about the more popular options, and which trailers are more frequently represented than others. Generally speaking, the more trailers sold of one brand, the more popular it is. A widely sold trailer is generally an indicator of a satisfied customer base.
If we started to discuss the trailers we didn't like and the reasons why, there would be a major conflict among the members. It's more politically correct to enumerate the positive aspects of the various brands.
