Has anyone purchased one of these models yet? If so, how do you like it? We are considering one but were concerned with the plumbing and how low to the ground it is. It is located close to the axels which will help and we were looking at it in tall grass. I love the LQ layout but that is a major concern as we like to camp and are not showing right now.

I have a 2007 Lakota 4 horse with a 10" LQ.  I too was concerned about the low slung tanks when we got it.  We are now at 3 years with no problems. 

Every year we go boondocking for week, we have camped in fields of sage and rabbit brush and towed over trails in Colorado to get to fields with boulders that we called "camp" and so far no damage.  I think them sitting so close to the trailer axle keeps them safe.

Thanks Jeeplr, on this new model they are using new axles and they actually sit a few inches lower than they used to. I guess people complained that the step up was too high.  It's good to know you have been on the back roads with no issues though.

Hi, we just bought a 2011 Lakota Charger 4h, 15 ft short wall,w/slide 40 total length. We ordered it though Lakota of Ohio. We had never seen one before we got it delived so we had lots of questions too.  My husband is concerned about our plumbing draging too. We have a hill and a curve in our drive way that we have to put a little ramp  just to make it up, with a hair to spare. We are going to fix it soon.  When we are pulling out of some places he makes me get out to check to see if we are draging (like I can do something about it!) It does sit up pretty high the one step at the door is a leap for me. I wish we had 2 steps. But everything else is really nice we love it.

Have you thought about blocking the axles? That would give some clearance for the holding tanks and plumbing. Maybe I'm missing something here???

thanks Tammy for the suggestion. Yes the dealer has suggested that for an additional 350$ or you can have one built with a different axle at no extra cost. They say they had complaints that the step down was too high so they changed axles to get it lower. I prefer a ramp myself so the step down is not a issue but ripping the plumbing out is and yes I know of someone that has done it on a Lakota. Its not an issue because I'll have either blocks or a different axle if I wind up with a Lakota. I am still looking at several other brands like Merhow and 4star. Thanks
