I have an 04 Select 3 horse. I love it. Seems to be pretty well made. Floor is very stout. Love that it is insulated! For the price, I think they are great trailers!

I do. '07 4h LQ. It's being repaired right now. The ramp/bumper hangs down in the back and I drug it on the pavement going around a corner. From what I can tell, looking at other trailers, the rear bumper on this one is not only lower than the body, but the trailer itself looks lower to the ground than other manufacturers. I'm considering having a suspension lift, maybe (if that's even a thing with trailers). Otherwise, I love it! But, this is my first LQ, so I don't have much to compare it to.
I love the hydraulic jack, but I would rather the double leg jack. This one only has one leg. I have to put jack stands under the front when it's unhooked.
e.t.a. There is a leak in the roof somewhere, but I just keep the nose elevated. It leaks toward the back, on the butt side, which really isn't much of a problem for me. Don't know if it's a problem for anyone else.
Also, if you have to deal with the Shadow trailers parts department, have lots of patience. I ordered and paid for parts that were supposed to be here by the 12th, it's now the 26th with no parts. I was asking about different parts at an RV place here, and once the parts guy heard it was a Shadow, he said, "try the manufacturer. I know Shadow is hard to deal with, but..."

Thanks for the replies.
We've been looking at travel trailers and they are such junk that I'm thinking of selling my 3 horse with LQ's and buying a 2 horse with LQ's and have just one trailer. My trailer is only 6'9" or we would just use it as I like everything about it but it's too tight with a husband and 3 dogs in the mix.
