Hello,

I am looking for a bumper pull horse trailer (2) horse with living quarters.  The reason I need a bumper pull is I have a aluminum dog box in

the back of my truck bed.  It is bolted down and weighs about 200 pounds so moving it in and out is not easy.

Is Lakota the only one making a bumper pull with living quarters now?  How are they made?  Decent, Good, Excellent?

I looked at a HUT Lakota with small slide out?  The slide out makes a bed.  How much weight will that bed slide out hold you think?

I am a big guy 305 pounds and wife is 150 pounds.  Would that slide out bed hold that much?

Do they hold up well?  I have found a couple of used ones, but that is the only brand I have seen. 

 

Does any other companies make bumper pull with living quarters?

Any suggestions?

Location: new ulm mn		There is this one: http://www.factorydirecthorsetrailers.com/inventory2.htmlI've seen some DIY bumper pull living quarters, if you join the Facebook group Horse Trailer Conversions (mentioned in another thread on this site) there are a few that have made their own and shared images.
