If your camping gear has grown to include four-wheelers and motorcycles in addition to folding chairs and fishing rods, it may be time to upgrade to a Toy Hauler to accommodate your adventure camping desires.
Even if the only adventure on your itinerary is cruising the park in your golf cart, a Toy Hauler may be the ideal RV for you.
Toy haulers are recreational vehicles that combine living space with a cargo compartment for your motorized toys. Toy haulers are an excellent option for anyone traveling with ATVs, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, golf carts, and other motorized vehicles. The back compartment of bigger models accommodates automobiles and equipment through a gate that doubles as a loading ramp. The unit’s front section is structured as a residential area.
Choosing the appropriate toy hauler begins with understanding your camping routines and locations. Consider the kind of toys and the number of passengers when determining the best toy hauler suitable for you.
TYPES OF TOY HAULERS
CARGO TOY HAULERS
Cargo trailers are the most basic kind of toy hauler available. Unlike the other trailers, these lack sleeping compartments and other living rooms in favor of a huge storage area for hauling your toys.
Cargo haulers are an excellent solution for someone who already has their housing sorted and is only looking for a spacious, secure way to move your toys. Generally, cargo trailers include a side entrance door and a ramp that make loading and unloading your items simple. However, some more expensive versions have twin ramps. Although the most basic of our toy hauler trailer kinds, the freight hauler industry is diverse. There is something for everyone and any budget, ranging from modest, basic units that cost just a few thousand dollars to 30-foot custom-built units with reinforced walls.
TRAVEL TRAILER TOY HAULERS
Travel trailers are a popular and practical kind of toy hauler. The explanation for this surge in popularity is straightforward. Most models provide enough living space ample storage for your toys, are often less expensive than Motorhome toy haulers and 5th wheel toy haulers, and avoid the uncomfortable compatibility difficulties associated with the hitch and vehicle type necessary to pull 5th wheels.
In terms of floor plan design and general space use, travel trailer toy haulers and fifth wheels are similar. Both models have a wall dividing living space from cargo or storage space and a variety of configuration possibilities for each of these different sides. Another significant distinction is the price you can anticipate to spend for each kind of hauler: similarly sized travel trailers are, on average, far less expensive than 5th wheels with comparable choices and amenities.
FIFTH WHEEL TOY HAULERS
The hitch or receiver is the primary distinction between a travel trailer and a fifth-wheel toy hauler. While a travel trailer is connected to the bumper of the towing vehicle with a ball-and-coupler hitch, fifth-wheels are connected to the truck bed through a jaw hitch (or “fifth wheel hitch”).
These variations in hitch configuration are important aspects when deciding which is the best toy hauler for your requirements. Towing with a fifth wheel toy hauler requires a jaw hitch, which takes up more room in your truck bed than a travel toy hauler’s ball-and-coupler. The receiver is big, heavy, and requires a lot of work to remove and reinstall between usage, or it may be left in place, compromising valuable bed space. Simply put, a fifth wheel is less adaptable than a travel trailer.
Fifth wheel toy haulers still offer many advantages. They are more secure in heavy winds since they are directly connected to the truck bed, for starters. They also generally have greater usable area and come in various layouts and interior amenities for individuals who desire more room, luxury, and separation and can afford them. A workspace, extensive storage facilities, fold-up couches or beds, and space for an extra vehicle are all options in a fifth wheels cargo space.
MOTORHOME TOY HAULERS
Everyone looking for a luxury toy hauler will probably go with a motorhome toy hauler.
There are many reasons for this, but the most noteworthy is simple convenience and outright luxury. Unlike the other toy haulers on our list, motorhome toy haulers have the advantage of being all-in-one, which means you don’t have to bother about hooking your towing vehicle to the hauler.
A toy hauler motorhome combines three elements: a vehicle, living space, and toy transporting space. While they are the holy grail of toy haulers, the most apparent disadvantage of a motorhome toy hauler is that when you arrive at your destination in a travel trailer toy hauler or a 5th wheel hauler, you have the choice of detaching your towing vehicle for your daily errands.
