Horsebox advice

[sueandtoto]

We have decided to sell our 7.5tn lorry and buy a 3.5tn, we like the look of the MD horseboxes in Staffs or can anyone recommend any particular boxes to look at , and any dealers / manufactures (or ones to avoid more importantly !!) we are after one that has a bit of living space so a luton type preferably

PM me if you like for one to avoid, prob not in your area anyway though, more Bedford way...

When you say 'a bit of living' do you litterally mean 'a bit' as in enough to change in? As you will find it hard to find a 3.5 tonner with much more in it... (without going horrendously over weight)!

Luton type, so coachbuilt yes?

I never went to see MD horseboxes as they were just above my budget. If you want 2nd hand i found www.freewebs.com/traveltwo VERY helpful but dont have actual buying experience of them. Just bought mine from select... Lovely build... just get mecahnics checked before buying (From anyone)... ehem.

Thank you , have looked at Select and they have some nice ones , the Md look nice on the website so may pop over and have a look , we only have one pony so can get a bit of day living in one

There's a G reg with calor gas and a sink on Horsequest at the moment - near Northampton. Doesn't have power steering, but otherwise sounds good.

Not advertising, honest, but I know fruity on here has one for sale with awesome living, she's only selling it as wants to be able to travel bigger horses, hers carried her old 14.2hh welsh D fine and has proper living, sink, hob, bed etc. It looks smart too! Its in Bucks though...

 

[Eceni]

How do we find her?
