In 1976, in the tiny town of Coleman, Oklahoma, three brothers, Larry, Gary and John Shipman, borrowed $10,000, poured a concrete floor in a hay barn (still in use today) on five acres they purchased from their father Wayne, and began building trailers.

They built every trailer themselves from start to finish, from welding, to painting and finishing. Most days they found themselves working well past sundown building trailers, hence the name “Sundowner.” In 1980 the fourth brother, Jerry, joined the team.

In 1987 Sundowner produced the first living quarters trailer and in 1994 moved that division of the company to Elkhart, Indiana, which is widely recognized as the center of the RV industry. In 1996, they introduced their first slide out living quarters.

Sundowner Interiors’ production facility covered 76,000 square feet thanks to the completion of a second building in 2004. Sundowner Interiors demands the same attention to detail and high quality workmanship in the living quarters that has become a trademark of the Sundowner horse trailer.  In 2008 Sundowner interiors was moved back to Coleman OK.  Part of Sundowner's continuing effort to be leaner and "Greener" moving the facility back to Coleman, OK put less trucks on the road and helped Sundowner get another step closer in their 30+ year pursuit of becoming a zero waste facility.

Sundowner’s facility now covers well over 500,000 square feet and sits on 190 acres. With over 55 models of horse and stock trailers in its product line and dealerships located throughout the United States and Canada, as well as dealers located in Mexico and Australia.  As the industry leader, Sundowner is committed to the ongoing improvement and upgrading of it's extensive line of trailers.  In fact, Sundowner continues to "raise the bar" with innovative features, exceptional workmanship, and attention to detail and  unsurpassed trailer safety.  As the premier manufacturer of horse and livestock trailers, Sundowner offers uncompromising value, ease of maintenance, customized designs and a broad dealer network with first rate customer service.  And, of course Sundowner's, "single source" three year hitch-to-bumper / eight year structural warranty really says it all-no other trailer can compare.
