Jul. 3 2023 Buying Guide By Rte. 125 RV & Marine

Toy haulers are one of the best ways to elevate your camping experience. They give you the indoor living space of a recreational vehicle with a unique cargo bay to help you bring more supplies or your favorite powersports vehicles. We at Rte. 125 RV & Marine know that nothing is that simple, though, so we’ve broken down some of the pros and cons of owning a toy hauler in this brief guide. To learn more, or to see the toy haulers we have for sale, visit our dealership in Rochester, NH, today!

The Pros

Versatility

Because of the open cargo space, a toy hauler has plenty of uses. They can be great for vacations, work, and more, with uses that include but are not limited to:

  • Carrying powersports vehicles to out-of-town competitions or a riding trip that involves at least one night’s stay
  • Transporting hunting gear and the game back home
  • Hauling landscaping tools and materials with a built-in onsite office
  • Bringing furniture or other bulky items home or taking them to a buyer
  • Providing a workspace for woodworking, painting, workouts, and other hobbies

Secure Transportation

Toy haulers aren’t just for hauling cargo or powersports vehicles, they’re also where you can eat, sleep, and relax on camping trips. They’re designed to be secure in order to give you peace of mind on your outdoor adventures. That means no weather damage, no flying debris, and no sticky fingers on your cargo.

The Cons

Less Living Space

Because so much real estate is taken up by the cargo area, a toy hauler has less living space than an RV of similar size. If you travel with a group, it might feel a bit cramped and crowded.

Weight

The size, of course, necessitates a powerful tow vehicle. The weight of a toy hauler has to be combined with the weight of your cargo and whatever gear you’re bringing along. If you’re hauling powersports vehicles or other large cargo, you’re going to need a tow vehicle with a large tow capacity.
