Do you use Facebook? If so look at Dodgy horsebox builders and

I think they are OK although I have reservations. PM if you want details.

Who ever you buy from get a proper inspection - that's the gloden rule. Not cheap but worth it

I bought a box from them a few years ago. The one I enquired about from the website had sold, but another was due in the next day, so we went to see it, bought it, and travelled many miles in it before I sold it. No issues with it at all.

A friend bought front them last year and was happy. Another friend bought from them recently and has not been happy. I think you will get a mixed response, they are a big dealer with a high turnover.
I would take someone with you who knows what to look for, pref a mechanic.

Take your mechanic. They sell on commission and prices are inflated especially on the older trucks. There is a decent dealer in Hereford who we did business with and was very straight forward to deal with and happily put a new battery on my truck after I had taken it home and my mechanic wasn't happy with the batteries.

Search the forum, several posts about them.

We bought ours from them...was ok, had a few issues in the 3 months which they sorted for us free of charge under the warranty. Selling was a different ball game, took ages and ages to list then even longer to get the money once it sold...we are not alone it seems!

I'd agree take someone experienced to check it out for yourselves rather than rely on their mechanic

Friend sold her older lorry through them. She disclosed it had some issues. They didn’t disclose this to potential buyers. Took them a while to sell it but it went eventually
