    PRB horseboxes after sales?

    Thanks everyone for sound advice and feedback. I got the feeling that the company were reputable and looking at the workshop and lorries they are super quality.. not just pretty but solid and functional. It’s a big step for me budget wise so will definitely get an inspector out and check all...

    I wasn’t going to get it inspected but perhaps better had if I go ahead. There are old reviews which are mainly good with just the odd unsatisfactory one.. again highlighting poor after sales.

    PRB horseboxes after sales?

    Hi, I’m thinking of getting a second hand PRB but someone on Facebook has posted a real problem with PRB after buying a second hand one.. namely major works to replace faulty parts were not done as agreed and the company were unhelpful to rectify. I’m now having doubts, so wonder if anyone else...

    That’s good to know. I drove an older 6.5 a while ago and the gears were tricky. Newer ones must be better.

    Done that a few years ago. Think they can stretch to 9’ but I need more length. Also a bit squashed widthways for two and I’m on the payload limit tbh.

    Yes remember the ramp was steep on my 7.5. I’ve got a bespoke rear facing 4.5 already with the horses between the wheels and a small day living. Small dog area behind the front seats where a crew cab would be. Problem is it’s really cramped and hard to get the 2nd big horse on as no turning space.

    Just another question peeps.. forward facing??? Research shows that horses travel better backwards. Anyone had issues forward facing?I would give it a go but all hire lorries seem to be rear facing. Always travelled mine backwards.

    Just had a look at the website. Despite them not being top end of the market would still need to scrimp to pay for one.. however looks like they are a possibility. Thanks

    Agree re KP quality. Enquired there years ago but they couldn’t make to my spec. The 4.5 can’t have a long horse area .. due to wheel arch. I want a horse area at least a 9’ 6” and also a large dog area. KP won’t do a 7.5 side ramp due to imbalance apparently so I would have to go herringbone…...

    Already got one. Really cramped despite the extra long horse area.

    Thanks for that.. guess every company has a few hiccups but it’s how the problem is dealt with that matters. Tristar is tpoo far for me sadly.. would be a five hour drive. Yes have heard about Ascot. Again they all look so good on the surface.
