I have a 1997 Sundowner 2 horse straightload gooseneck. We purchased
it new, and have been very happy with it - it is all steel, though, their
Charter model.
I have the door from the dressing room to the horse compartment, and would
highly recommend that to anyone. It has made life quite a bit easier when
I've been camping in the rain - the extra space really helps. I also set
up my shower in the horse compartment. I love the layout and my
setup. The only thing I would order differently, if I were to do it all
over again, is to get an extra foot or two in the dressing room. I'm not
desperate for the space, but it would make it a bit more convenient. I
have the camper door, but could live without it.
We don't have Four Star dealer in our area. When shopping though, we
did carefully look at a slightly used four star. It wasn't the
layout that I wanted, but was a very solid well made all aluminum trailer.
the deal breakers.....
