Featherlite® Trailers continues to transform
the traveling and buying experience of horse owners with the
introduction of striking new décor options now available
through the popular PerfectFit™ System.
The PerfectFit System is a new process that
allows the horse trailer to be designed around the horse owner
and their horses, without the custom price. Previously featured
only on select living quarters models, it is now available
on Featherlite’s entire line of horse and livestock trailers.
Along with the introduction of the expanded
PerfectFit System, Featherlite has many new décor options
available. In 2007, Featherlite first partnered with Sierra
Custom Interiors to produce Featherlite’s entire line of living
quarters interiors, which continues today.
Among its new options is an expanded selection
of cabinet woods including Aged Paulownia (dark oak), Farmyard
Hickory, Moving Walnut and Trinity Oak, in addition to the
traditional choices. A new assortment of fabric selections
for seating or valances is also available, but extra this
year is a medley of upgraded exotic leather seating options,
including a number of animal patterns.
Standard flooring is linoleum, which in 2008
features more stone walk qualities. Upgrades to ceramic or
hardwood are available.
In addition to cabinets, flooring, seating
and valances, major selections for new living quarters customers
are wall covering, ceiling and countertops. After designing
the “look and feel” of their interior, the customer will move
on to other amenities such as entertainment options. A popular
entertainment choice for many living quarters owners recently
has been the stereo with DVD and surround sound and optional
XM satellite radio. Other popular options include an electric
fireplace, electric awning with wind sensor and remote control
and the dishwashing drawer option.
“The PerfectFit System makes the selection
process of interior options and floor plans much easier for
customers when they meet with their local Featherlite dealer
to order their living quarters,” Featherlite National Sales
Manager Randy Lewis said. As always, if a customer doesn’t
want to go through the selection process, dealers have a range
of living quarters inventory on their sales lots for customers
to select from.
With the new PerfectFit, customers will see
the consolidation of Featherlite’s living quarters models
down to one model, the Model 8581. “Our previous model offering
was larger and more complicated, but each of the models was
more limited in its selections,” Lewis said. “The PerfectFit
System puts the focus more on the configuration, layout and
functionality of the trailer. The customer ends up getting
more choices and superior value.”
The process begins with the customer selecting
their required number of horse stalls, the short wall length
and the width of the trailer. Then dealers will let customers
pick from a wide array of interior floor plans and the major
décor options before focusing more narrowly on specific
features and options. This continues until the trailer meets
their exact requirements.
