What is a toy hauler?
Unique among RVs, the toy hauler is defined by its handy storage compartment. This area, known as the garage or toy box, is primarily designed for hauling powersports vehicles such as four-wheelers and dirt bikes. The garage is lined with durable, washable materials, making it easy to clean up after storing muddy vehicles.
Most toy haulers have a wall dividing the garage from the main compartment. Just like any modern RV, the living area of a toy hauler offers all the comforts of home: cozy sleeping accommodations, full kitchens and bathrooms, entertainment systems, and more. There are plenty of floor plan options available, and feature packages ranging from basic to luxurious.
What can I transport with a toy hauler?
The honest answer to this question is “anything you want!” But let’s get a little more specific, shall we? Here are just a few examples of the countless ways you can make use of your toy hauler’s garage.
Powersports Vehicles
Toy haulers were born for the job of transporting ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes. Many professional racers rely on them for hauling their vehicles to and from tournaments, and they’re just as useful to those who want to bring their four-wheeler along on a family vacation.
Landscaping and Construction Equipment
If your job requires transporting heavy tools or equipment, a toy hauler is a great alternative to a pickup truck or cargo trailer. The garage provides a secure storage space for your supplies, while the living area can serve as a mobile break room. Your toy hauler also makes traveling for work an easier option, giving you more flexibility and expanding the range of jobs you can take.
Hunting Supplies
Not only is your toy hauler’s garage great for storing your hunting gear, it’s the perfect place to break down and store your trophy after a successful hunt. You and your hunting buddies will also appreciate the sleeping accommodations after a long day of hunting.
Your Mobile Office
More and more people are working from home these days, but not every house has room for a home office. Converting your toy hauler into an office gives you more privacy and mobility. You can use any of its compartments as a work environment, including the garage, dining area, or even the bedroom.
...And More!
Your toy hauler’s garage can store mountain bikes, kayaks, golf carts, drum kits, and just about anything else you can imagine. When you get your own toy hauler, you’re sure to discover many more ways to take advantage of its cargo capabilities!
What are my towing options?
One of the first things to decide when shopping for a toy hauler is whether to go with a travel trailer or fifth wheel. Travel trailer toy haulers are smaller and less spacious in both the garage and the living area. They’re also more affordable, and compatible with a wider variety of tow vehicles. You can tow a travel trailer with your average truck, van, or SUV.
Fifth wheel toy haulers are larger, providing a more comfortable living space and more room for cargo. You will need a heavy-duty open or flatbed truck to tow a fifth wheel, but they do offer a safer and easier towing experience than travel trailers.
Whichever towing option you choose, make sure your toy hauler fits well within your tow vehicle’s weight limit, and take the time to practice towing your toy hauler around an empty parking lot before your maiden voyage.
