I am thinking of buying a new lakota trailer. Anyone have any bad experience with them? Think I want a slide, any problems with leaks or slide not working properly?

I have seen alot out there, they look like they are well built,people we know love them, the company seems to bend over backwards to please, slides?? when we go in, we watch a little tv and sleep. Not much time spent indoors. just us.

I have a 2007 4 horse with 10 foot LQ no slide. I like the trailer very well. The only issue with my trailer right now is the radio/CD player is not working. Mine is one of the last to have the LQ done by a 3rd party, who screwed a few things up. Lakota picked up my trailer and fixed it at no charge to me and evern put in nicer blinds because what I had was ugly. I we ever need another trailer it will be a Lakota.
There may be nicer trailers but I have never received better customer service. They stand by their product.

We have had ours for 3 years and use it a LOT. We do not have a slide but we like the trailer a lot. I never had a LQ before and it is pretty dummy proof and one big thing to me is it does not hold odors at all. IMHO

Go see Jennifer at Canton Lakota. I found her to be very knowledgeable. She answered all my questions truthfully. She can even explain the tradeoffs between most all of the different trailer brands. I like to make informed decisions!
disclaimer: I didn't buy my Lakota from her but I would have if they would of had it sitting on the lot with the oven & hayrack from the factory.

We bought our Lakota last year in February. We love it. We bought a slide, 15ft short wall and rear kitchen. If you have the time I would recommend ordering vs buying off the lot. We saved a bunch of money and got some nice extras we would not have had. They will do some custom work for you because they do their own conversions, they don't have a 3rd party do it. That also saves you some money. For a mid level trailer with LQ I don't think you can beat the value of a Lakota. They have some nice things standard, the horse area is fully insulated, that is a big plus for the horses. We also had the AC ducted to the horse area so when we ride we can put the dogs there and if we had a horse get over heated, we can put them in AC. Don't know another trailer that does that.
