Location: Hutto, TX		I w told by a dealer that the Bisons are made by an RV company and therefore the LQ area is usually really nice.  Since I was more interested in the horse area, I moved on in my search, but it depends on what you are looking for I guess, and if the dealer was telling me the truth too!

I think Bison trailers are awesome and a great value.  They are very spacious and I have one and would definitely buy another one.  I have the 8316 with a bunk house.  NO leaking anywhere!

The Bison Alumasport SE is the best buy.
Alum. skin, Steel frame and wood floor.
Just add a couple of options to the std. trailer
and you've got a doable unit.
Dollar for dollar hard to beat.
You'll be happy with it!

  • Stainless 60/40 rear doors
  • Pre-finished aluminum skin
  • Aluminum camper step w/lighted grab handle

  • Spare tire w/rack
  • Easy access removable saddle tree
  • Drop-down feed windows

  • Large capacity fresh, grey & black holding tanks
  • Built-in step in carpeted gooseneck
  • 18,000 BTU furnace
  • Dual LP tanks

    A 4 horse w/ Mid Tack & Generator and a few
    of the options listed above can be done
    for around 60k...and again that is alot of trailer
    for the money. Be a great unit for a Trail/Pleasure Rider.

        The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.

    It's true that Bison was purchased by a RV plant.  I think it was in 2000 by Monaco RV,and yes their interiors are very nice.  I had no leaks what so ever!

    We just bought an Exiss 3 horse with LQ at the Dixie Horse and Mule Company and while we were waiting, we went and looked at the Bisons he had in stock.

    The most beautiful LQ trailer I've ever seen...had a 2nd entry mud room in back, a 16ft slideout with recliner, two fireplaces, lockable sleeping quarters, full sized kitchen...we ALMOST took the plunge and brought that back instead.  4 horse slant load.  All the trimmings.  Beautiful woodwork and lots of features.  We were drooling.

    Mike or JT will give you a good deal on that trailer, and BTW, our NEXT trailer will be a Bison of similar design and quality.  Very nice.

    I have been looking at LQ trailers quite a bit.

    I absolutely LOVE the Bison.

    I see this thread has all positive responses.  Does anyone have anything negative to say?

    I'd like to hear the good and the bad!

    Thanks!

    Location: Tracy, CA    		I'm in the process of buying a 2008 Bison 8280. It's a 2 horse with a 8' SW with all the goodies I want in a trailer. It's the best bang for the bucks in my opinion.

    I picked up my Bison.

    Ooowwwieiee I love it!  The dark wood inside...oooh its nice.  LOVE IT!

    I am so glad I didn't get sucked in by Bison nay sayers and followed my gut!

    It is so cozy, the furnace puts out lots of heat!  I slept in it last night and it was frosty outside and I was warm and comfy inside.

    Guess what else?  It is nicer then the Sundowner I had!  LOL!

    LOVE BISON!  Don't let the low price scare you off!
