I had an Exciss 4 horse straight load, I bought it used, from a dealer out of state and was assured that it was in excellent condition. I happened to run into someone that recognized the trailer as one his friend used to own. That friend turned out to be my ex husbans cousin. This friend had told me that the trailer had had all sorts of structural problems. I called the ex's cousin, he told me that he got a FULL refund (the trailer was 2 yrs old) because the the floor had seperated from the frame, and became a springboard while his horses were in the trailer. We did noticed some old stress cracks but they had been welded. Turns out this trailer had been welded several times but kept cracking. I returned the trailer for a FULL refund also.
Last year we saw a horrible accident on 95 up near the Delaware line. An Exciss 3 horse slant had flipped(driver error) and one of the mares was ejected out of the roof. Needless to say, I would never own another Exciss trailer.
