How come its so hard to find one!!
Went to see a lovely box on Sunday but living was really small, apart from that great.
I've been looking for over 6 months now its exhausting!! I have lost one as I didn't look on h&h on one evening when I look normally every night! A dealer has just sold one I was going to see on thurs!

I'm sure you've heard this all before!

If anyone knows of one for sale please pm me!! 6.5 or 7.5, living enough to sit two or three, side ramp, budget 10k. I'm sure there must be one out there for me.

I would be happy to travel anywhere now, getting frustrated but i'm sure something will come along.....!

Sorry for the rant guys!!:eek:
 
I seen one not so long back and thought it was just what I was looking for, then realised it was forward facing and I wanted herringbone. Its always the way, when you are looking to buy, what you want never seems to be there but when you have one, theres loads coming up. Not sure of your budget but I will have a quick look now and see if I can find it.
 
The problem is that forward (or backward) facing requires a lot more space for the horses and that leaves little room for the living. It seems that many people prefer luxurious living with herringbone, than the other way round - or at least this is what I found when looking. Even so called 'bespoke' manufacturers had problems adjusting their designs to forward facing, side ramp and smaller living.

Hi :) No I havent a herringbone with a side ramp. I remember seeing one advertised when I was looking, thought it looked nice and it was this one. It wasnt on Ebay when I seen it and the pic didnt have the ramp down so I was dissapointed when it was a forward or backwards facing one as I wanted a herringbone with a normal ramp at the back.
 
Thanks for all the hard work guys, i'm glad i'm not the only one looking at boxes all the time!!!
The silver MAN side ramp is on ebay, not sure of the horse length its only about 8.5 feet long most forward facers are about 9-9.5. It does look smart though. The longer blue MAN has been advertised for a while and the price has been slowly dropping!
My budget is 10k, I'd like to hope i'd find something for that!

Keep up the good work! I'm just going to check the latest ads (just incase0 before bed!!!
 
Few and far between now, you want a Dodge 5.6 unladen, 7.5 gross like mine only she's not for sale. Huge living, sleeps 2-3 easily, forward facing generous horse area and a side ramp. Have only seen one other since i've had her, after my one they started making them with back ramps for some reason.

Side ramp is cool, the only problem is at shows when people don't realise it's a side loader and park right up close.................
 
i have a 7.5 tonne T reg daf. Has 2 forward facing stalls for the horses - so well built you could put a rhino in it. Side loading and the ramp is heavy, which means the wife would like to get rid, not for sale at the Mo, and would want a bit more money for it. If you budget grows and you'd travel to Somerset pm me and I'll have a re think.
