Why Choose A Toy Hauler?
Outdoor adventures are more fun when you’re able to conveniently transport all the gear you need to enjoy your favorite activities. Modern toy haulers are designed with a garage space at the rear that you can use to store an ATV, golf cart, motorcycles, or other toys, along with a rear door that opens into a ramp for quick loading and unloading. As toy haulers have evolved, the garage space has become more versatile with the rear door ramp often doubling as an off-the-ground patio floor. This multi-function space provides even more reasons to select a toy hauler for your next RV.
The Right Place For Your Toys
Toy hauler manufacturers typically equip the garage area with ruggedized flooring designed to be water- and oil-resistant, an essential feature when transporting machines that use gas or oil. Modern toy haulers like Jayco’s Seismic or Keystone RV Company’s Fuzion feature sidewall vents, independent air conditioning, and ways to effectively seal off the garage space from the living quarters to ensure fumes for gas-powered toys don’t reach the living areas. These features are often combined with advanced air ventilation and carbon monoxide detectors inside the living quarters. To make the garage space secure and functional, toy haulers like the Seismic and Fuzion also feature protective wall panels and robust tie-down systems that keep vehicles safe and in place.
The garage space inside a toy hauler is often anywhere from 8 to 14 feet (2.4 to 4.3 meters) long, though some of the largest models feature 20-ft (6-m)-long garages. Manufacturers provide detailed capacity ratings, so you can be certain if an RV you’re eyeing is up to safely transporting your motorized toys. As a result of the rugged design, toy haulers are often heavier and more expensive than other towable RVs and motorhomes.
A Place To Relax Or Work
When your toys aren’t loaded in the garage space, the solid door ramp becomes the base of an outdoor entertaining area. Accessories like patio awnings, quick-to-install guard rails, and multi-use furniture are available. Forest River even offers a Ramp Door Party Patio kit option for its Work And Play toy haulers to instantly transform the patio into a living space. The garage itself can wired for sound and video for outdoor entertainment and tailgating.
As more and more people work from home and on the road, some RV owners have also utilized the garage as a dedicated work space. The open concept and variety of work-focused accessories make it relatively easy to adapt a toy hauler and overcome space limitations found in conventional RV designs.
A Private Guest Room Or Hobby Space
RV owners looking to expand sleeping and living space can also look for toy haulers built to meet their needs. Thor Motor Coach’s Outlaw 38MB, for instance, has an 8- by 10-ft (2.4- by 3-m) garage that does double duty, thanks to a queen-size drop-down bunk, complete with a TV and optional jackknife sofa. Whether you want a spare room or a quiet place for the kids to sleep, toy haulers are uniquely equipped to accommodate your goals. The same is true for RV owners who wish to create a dedicated space for hobbies. The ruggedized flooring simplifies cleanup with messier hobbies, such as woodworking or painting.
