The Advantages of Owning a Toy Hauler
ShareFacebookXEmail

Want to bring your outdoor gear along without giving up the comfort of an RV? A toy hauler combines a living space with a garage for recreational equipment such as ATVs, motorcycles, bikes or kayaks. Available as travel trailers and fifth wheels, toy haulers offer a flexible setup for adventure-minded couples and families.

Why these units stand out

The garage lets you transport bulky equipment inside and can keep muddy or wet gear separate from the main living area. Once you unload, many garages can become extra sleeping space, a lounge, hobby room or storage area. Some models also offer a ramp patio, giving you an outdoor hangout space at camp.

Three floorplans to consider

Toy hauler layouts differ, but these three common styles are a useful starting point:

  • Open garage with convertible beds: Fold-down beds or sofas leave the space flexible for hauling gear, then convert to sleeping or lounging space. This can suit couples who occasionally host guests or families needing extra beds.

The unit is a versatile option for couples or families who want to bring recreational gear along. Its garage converts into additional living and sleeping space with a bed and dual sofas, while the kitchen includes a three-burner cooktop, microwave and 10-cubic-foot refrigerator.

  • Garage bunkhouse with a half bath: Bunks and sometimes a half bath make the garage feel more like a separate family room. It can provide sleeping space and a convenient place to clean up after outdoor activities.

It’s well suited to campers who want substantial room for recreational gear and upscale comfort on extended getaways.

A flexible basecamp

With your gear and living space in one RV, you can set up at camp, unload and use your tow vehicle to explore nearby areas. The garage may also serve as a kids’ hangout, workspace or gear room when you’re staying put. This multipurpose design can be especially useful for families, and campers who want to bring more than the basics.

Check the fit before buying

Before choosing a toy hauler, measure the equipment you want to carry and compare it with the garage’s usable length, width and height. Check the RV’s cargo capacity, ramp rating and tie-down locations, then confirm that your tow vehicle can safely handle the loaded RV. Remember to account for people, supplies, water and gear, rather than just the RV’s dry weight.

A toy hauler is most valuable when you’ll use both its cargo space and its flexible garage. If you don’t plan to haul equipment or need the extra room, a conventional travel trailer or fifth wheel may be a better fit.
