The Pros of a Toy Hauler
1. Enjoy Impressive Versatility
Toy haulers can be used in many different ways, allowing you to get a great bang for your buck. Many owners use their rigs for work, vacation, and more. Toy haulers can be used in many ways, such as to:
- carry powersports vehicles to an out-of-town competition or riding trip that involves an overnight's stay.
- transport hunting gear to a deer stand and the game back to the tow vehicle.
- haul landscaping tools and materials to a job site.
- bring furniture and other bulky items home or to a buyer.
- provide a work space for woodworking, painting, and other hobbies.
2. Get Secure Transportation of Cargo
Sure, you could load your powersports vehicle, furniture, tools, or other expensive items onto an open bed trailer. But they will be exposed to weather damage and possible theft. With a toy hauler, cargo will be securely locked inside. Protect your investments by transporting them in your toy hauler's cargo bay.
3. Enjoy Comfortable Vacations
RVs are designed with trips in mind - and it's no different with toy haulers. The living spaces offer everything you need for a pleasant and memorable trip. Some toy haulers can even come with extra features, such as multiple entertainment system, to boost your family's fun. Plus, the large storage area allows you to bring everything you need for a cozy time. Pack extra clothing in case the weather takes a turn, board games for family game night, bikes for trail riding, and anything else you want.
The Cons of a Toy Hauler
1. You'll Lose Some Living Space
RVs can only be so long and wide. For a toy hauler to fit the large cargo bay area, it sacrifices some living space. If you are traveling with a big group, it may feel cramped and crowded on the inside. But if you are traveling with a smaller group or spend most of your time outside, it likely won't be an issue.
2. You Need a Heavy-Duty Tow Vehicle
Toy haulers tend to be on the heavier side. Then add in the weight of your cargo, such as powersports vehicles, and you'll need a tow vehicle with a high towing capacity. Not all vehicles are going to be able to transport a toy hauler, which can limit your tow vehicle choices.
3. Toy Haulers Can Cost More
Toy haulers can be more expensive than other, more simple types of RVs (such as travel trailers). Their sticker price can be more expensive and, due to their weight, they can cost more to tow.
