<< Before you complain about the quality of your horse trailer as compared to
the
quality of your car, think about the way you (and your horses) treat your
horse trailer, and then consider whether your car would hold up under the
same
type of treatment. >>

Sorry, this is not my experience. My truck and trailer are both '92, both
are kept at the ranch under the very same weather (no garage or shelter for
either) and use conditions. Rust, leaky roof in horse trailer has nothing to
do with what the horse does to the interior. A quick bath and the truck
looks brand new, the trailer has rust streaks all over. Trucks (and cars)
just have a whole lot better coating than some (most?) horse trailers.

Truck has needed only regular servicing (and wire repair where the field mice
had a field day). Considering that the trailer is little more than a shell,
especially compared to the complicated construction of a truck, I certainly
get more bang for my buck with the truck.
