1) only 10 ply tires on ours, three blew up on a single trip, now I have 16 ply on all of them. 2) Sofa (leatherette or whatever you call the cheap material) - a year into it and it started to deteriorate 3) agree with the ramp holder, mine gets typically caught in the door and the door has bend 4) accessibility, i hate that I can not access anything, we had a water leak - try to get to the tank. 5) counter tops, I reinforced all of them as they were thin with trim making it look thick, one bump and it came loose, glued wood enforcement behind them 6) cook top, no electric ignition 7) shades, they dont fold up correctly anymore, we have to hand fold every single one when pushing up 8) radio - this one did not survive the first year, replaced with Pioneer 9) i had multiple shorts in the overhead lamps, I realized that cables were not a single run but were stitched together with wire nuts in the ceiling 10) did I mention the 10 ply tires....?

Wow crazy, that's a lot of issues! Whenever I have something go wrong I will reach out to Lakota and talk to them about it. They are actually really helpful and sometimes they will send me a replacement part.

Get a SMC or a DD. Much better built and you can get it the way you want things.

We had one. Ours was a 3 horse 35 ft. The roof was scary. We had a note in ours that said don't walk on the roof or you'll fall through...

So does ours but I still have to get up there to do projects. I wish they would use a thicker sheet of metal on the roof.

Not sure about any other vehicles our 2020 3500 has a payload of 7500 pounds, and designed to pull a 35,000 lb trailer.

It really depends on your truck build but your numbers are high unless you have HEMI. I'd recomend looking up your tow ratings by your vin number. www.ram.com/ae/en/towing-guide.html

The problem isn’t pulling the weight the problem is stopping that much weight. But him with that long of trailer with 2 8,000 lb axles with that much weight is a lot of weight. We have a Lakota with 2 10,000 lbs axles with a 50ft trailer and oil bath seals and my husband checked the bearings and hubs less than a 1,000 miles ago and it blew a seal and got so hot it turned the axle up like a banana. We have been waiting in SD for an axle from Lakota and got it today. Been broke down since Friday August 9th, 2024. We have packed the other bearings with grease.

Curious of the year your trailer was manufactured? Looking at a new Lakota Big Horn and curious how their quality compares to our current Elite w/Trail Boss Interior.

Fairgrounds, national parks, BLM land, RV parks, horse hotels, I would say most places unless they are not dog friendly.

I worked at Fleetwood in Indiana. Rest assured, I would never buy any product that has a slide out! Customers were always having issues with slide outs. It’s best to never have one.

Next time you're better off having trailer custom built and having it built to your specs. That is what I'm doing with my next trailer. Unfortunately, Lakota's and a few other brands are spec made and done very cheaply.
@RedbeardOutdoors-IrishSetters
Жыл бұрын
Yes you are correct if you want your trailer to be about $200000 plus. I don't think lakota is cheaply made its more so you get what you pay for at a lower price range then lets say a 4 star.
