Toy Hauler - Bring your Favorite Toys!
Toy haulers are one of the most popular selling models for the RV industry. They are extremely popular with RV buyers who enjoy outdoor sports and activities.
Families who enjoy traveling are always looking for opportunities to carry out their favorite activities in unusual places away from the city. Toy haulers are a perfect combination that allow folks to bring their bikes, ATV’s or whatever they enjoy doing to their favorite travel destination.
Toy haulers can either be a travel trailer or fifth wheel that has been modified to handle the additional weight by incorporating a stronger frame with added suspension. Basically they have been over-engineered to handle the extra stress and weight when loaded. The length of a toy hauler can range from 20 to 40 feet. On average toy haulers cost around $30,000 to $50,000. More deluxe models can cost over $100,000, with all the upgrades.
Garage Space:
The garage space located at the rear can store or carry ATVs, motorcycles, bicycles and much more. Most toy haulers have a ramp or door combination that functions as a loading ramp. More expensive models come with two or three slide-outs, which expand the living and sleeping areas. For large families considering a toy hauler, a slide-out would be an important feature because the garage takes up a lot of living space.
Similar to the traditional fifth wheels or travel trailers, it is possible to choose from a wide selection of floorplans to accommodate your travel needs. When shopping for a toy hauler, make sure to measure the garage area. It needs to be large enough to store your favorite toys; if too small you will have a negative RV experience.
Not all toy hauler owners use the cargo area for storage. In most cases, you can convert the cargo area into a screen porch or an entertainment area.
Important buying tip: When looking at different models keep in mind that the living area may become cramped, so you need to find the perfect balance between living space and cargo storage. Most toy haulers can sleep up to six people, but it may be tight so do your homework. You may want to consider renting a toy hauler before you buy one. |
