Re: [RC] Need advice on GN LQ trailers - mjjackson

The new Sundowner comes in with the AERC discount
about equivalent to a one-year old trailer.
Also with getting equipment that
is more unique to endurance riding, you don't have to pay more to have it
installed later. We eleminate equipment that you may not use.
A basic three-horse with 10 ft.
Living quarter either 6'9" or 8 ft wide will run from around $35,000 to $42,000
depending on the type of equipment you choose.
There are a number of options we
probably need to discuss after some questions:
What type
truck do you pull with?
Do you do
multi-days?
Do you
normally take two or three horses to a ride?
How fast do
you need the trailer?
If you could give me this
information or give me your phone number we could discuss details.
OK, we decided against buying a motorhome and giving up our
GN trailer. We're going to look for a 3H GN Living Quarter trailer
now.
1) Which brands seem to be the best value and quality? I
know they contract out the manufacture/assemblage of the LQ interior most of
the time, so that can influence the quality of innards.
2) Anyone
know of or have one for sale? Preferably in very good to excellent
shape. Looking for 10 plus foot short wall living quarters. Also
prefer seperate shower from toilet. Trailer can not be longer than 37
feet total.... or else it won't fit in our driveway. Ideally located not
too far from California.
3) I'm also thinking that trailers cost
more in California than in say Texas, AZ or NM. Got any names/phone
numbers of dealers with new and/or used inventory?
New 3H GN 10+' LQ
trailers were going for $35,000-$40,000+. Obviously, I would like to pay
less.... say in the $25,000 - $30,000 range for a great used
one.
4) We'll then be selling our 3H GN Sundowner Valuelite 1998
trailer. We added a carpeted bench and carpeted shelves in the tack
room. Its in very good shape. New ones are going for $18,000 or
so. We would like to get $14,000 OBO.
