Overnight Comfort Without a Full Living-Quarters Price
Between a plain dressing room and a fully outfitted living-quarters rig sits the weekender, and this 1999 Sundowner is a textbook example. Six feet of short wall is enough for a genuine dressing and living area, wired for 110v with air conditioning fitted and an electric awning on the side, but the trailer stays a manageable two-horse gooseneck rather than a coach you need a dedicated truck for.
Sundowner’s steel-frame, aluminum-skin construction underpins it. The steel carries the structural loads where strength matters, and the aluminum skin keeps weight down and rust off the panels, which is a large part of why trailers of this age from this builder are still working.
Living Space You Will Actually Use
Plug in at a fairgrounds hookup and the A/C and 110v wiring turn a cramped night in the truck into a proper sleep. The electric awning drops shade over the side at the push of a button, useful for tacking up in July as well as for sitting out in the evening. A walk-thru door connects the living area to the horse compartment so you can check on the animals in the small hours without putting boots on and walking around outside, and an escape door gives a safe exit at the front, which matters more on a two-horse than people expect once the first stall is loaded and the space beside it narrows.

- Walk-thru door between the living area and horse compartment

That 7 ft 6 in inside height clears tall horses with room to spare, and the 8,750 lb GVWR against a 4,200 lb empty weight leaves sensible payload margin for two horses, tack and the contents of the living area. On a gooseneck of this vintage the important checks are the floor, the tire date codes, and whether the 110v circuit and the A/C power up cleanly rather than merely being present. Your truck needs a bed-mounted gooseneck hitch rated for the loaded tongue weight before the first haul, and a working brake controller in the cab is not optional at this weight.
