Richard Cheese Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 it isnt the brand so much that you have to worry about. its all about what model, floorplan, cargo room, sleeping arrangements, fuel station needs, bathroom amenities you are looking for. i was in the same boat you were in 5 years ago...now im kicking myself, because my bathroom is too small, i dont have enough cargo for all my toys, and i zing through my 18 gal fuel cell of my fuel station in no time flat. answer these questions, and you can be better prepared to find a hauler that suits your needs how many toys do you have? what are they? do you plan on adding any in the future? how many people on average do you plan on having in your hauler? most important question...what are you going to be towing with? do you want a front bedroom, or do you mind sleeping in the back? do you want a big bathroom, or will a small cramped one suffice? answer those, and i can dial you in more...then hit up OGP and he will hook you up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitcat Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I really really researched all the types of toyhaulers before we bought ours. Some things to consider... Account for how much space you need for your current toys and possibly future toys (if you're thinking about getting a UTV, Rail, more toys, etc). Make sure you have enough space to be comfortable with your family, pets and friends you might want to bring. Look at things like wheel wells and really measure measure measure!!! We had a little area by the fuel pump that did not allow us to load both quads when we got our Rhino. Make sure you have enough cabinet space. Make sure your tow vehicle can handle what you plan to tow. Keep in mind that water, fuel and toys add a LOT of weight. Are you planning on getting a tow behind or 5th wheel? If you have a lifted truck, a 5th wheel could not be an option (this was our case). Really look at quality and the kind of service you'll get at the dealership. These things go across the desert and other places, where things can move around. We loved our dealership (Cal's)- that's one of the deciding factors, but it ended up closing. Make sure you check how big the tanks are - fresh water, black and gray tank. I love my toyhauler (have a Raptor tow behind) and have had no major issues (knock on wood). The only thing we don't like is our model comes with a 28 gallon black tank, so we have to be careful on long weekends. Here's a link from rv.net that will give you a list of toyhaulers: http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseacti...id/16259414.cfm Good luck!

BigBlockTank Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I just (Jun 09) bought a Fleetwood GearBox, 375FS, 39' toy hauler. Don't have any toys in it yet, but looking for a sand car now. From the cabinet to the back door is right at 20 ft., so I don't think I'll have to worry about the length of the car. We're USAF retired, in our early 50's and this hauler fits our needs very well. We take it to the drag strip and entertain friends, BBQ, and drink too much. We have room for coolers, BBQ's, chairs, and all the other "stuff" we need to party well and would still have room for a car if we folded the furniture out of the way. We go to the lake and have too much fun there too. When we find that sand car, we'll hit the dunes and party big time there too. I wanted something this big to have the room WE needed. You might answer the questions that these folks have asked, and find out you need a 25' model. Whatever you do, don't settle. It took me over 6 months to find mine, and I had to drive from Tucson to Phoenix, AZ to look at, and buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Our Raptor is 30 ft and is perfect amount of space for us. So yes, keep in mind what YOU need. Also, if you look at a toyhauler and it has pop outs, account for how much space they take up. Some of our friends have a garage and love it, as it keep the toys separate. However, that will limit your space. Shopping for one is really fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
