| I really like a 2018 Merhow LQ with Slide-out, but don’t have a clue about their reputation. Good, bad and ugly, please. I’d appreciate any info. Thanks! |

Location: Southern Indiana | They are about like a bison, exiss, Lakota. Not great. A friend of ours had one and the wall between the horse compartment and the bathroom developed a big gap where it came apart. |

| I know three people with Merhows - none of them have had any complaints, and they use their trailers every weekend. |

No comparison to a Bison or Exiss. Really, NONE. |

| I really considered one when I saw a nice one years ago at the AQHA world show. I couldn't find much info on them. |

Location: Oklahoma | Nope. Wouldn't touch one. They are in the same class as Exiss, Lakota, Bison and Sundowner. |

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | a local girl around here has had NOTHING but problems with hers. Leaking/water damage, cant get them to honor warranty. She absolutely HATES it and regrets buying. Shes got the whole issue listed on her page for everyone to see. I cant even name everything that shes had problems with. You don't normally see too many people with them, so we stayed away. |

Another had problems with water leaking in the LQ during rain. |

| I think anything can go wrong with a trailer at anytime. Maybe a part fails or Bill showed up hungover and forgot a bolt or you could've just got a lemon?
With that being said, I also think it matters with how the company and dealer responds to those issues that makes the difference. I bought a brand new Sundowner, was pulling it home, the awning tension spring failed and it flipped out and off the trailer. The dealer was at my house, 4 hours from the dealership, on a SUNDAY to completely replace it at no charge. Sh*t happens.
IMO, from experience, Bison and Exiss are cheaply made. I would put Merhow in a higher class. |

| Thanks! Awesome dealer you had with your Sundowner. ???? |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | Pre aluminum days...Merhows is what Hunter/Jumper people pulled and they were made very well. Sad how companies lose their way and can take a great product and end up making it inferior. |

| Perhaps that happens when the new generation of company execs are making decisions and don’t operate with the same integrity of the people who started the company? |
