I have a few questions and considering I have an old steele trailer that is 6ft wide I think any trailer would be an upgrade.
I think I've read certain years may be better than others for Exiss?? Can you let me know if 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 are good quality years? I've not heard much as far as issues with Merhow or Keifer...is this true for the years listed above? Or I'm considering a new Stratus Lite. The interior isn't my choice but doable. Any comments would be appreciated on this group of trailers and years.
It seems like a majority of trailers are 7 ft wide, unless it's a semi long trailer $$$. Is that what most people prefer? I have 20 trailers saved in my favorites list and only a few are 8 ft wide which I like because it adds so much room. I had an 8 foot wide Lazy N many years ago and it seemed like I was line to line on those country roads.

I have an 06 Exiss Event 8' wide. I've had great luck with it and won't buy anything but an 8 wide from here on out. If your looking at Exiss make sure you get an Event not a Sport.

Have an 01 Exiss Event 8', agree, for the roads that are narrow feeling, it is usually small and curvy enough I am taking my time anyway for the horses' sake. Love the 8' for the horses )mules) and for the extra room in the LQ... plan to keep ours forever...it has done well.
