With ATV and motorcycle sales at all-time highs, the RV industry is responding with new and innovative toy haulers that marry the world of creature comforts with the utility of transporting toys to the backcountry.
In addition to carrying trail cargo and providing a luxurious habitat, toy haulers make excellent docking stations. Options can include fueling stations (gas cans are no longer required), auxiliary generators that can power equipment like arc welders (for field repairs), air compressors, power-wash stations, electric winches for loading toys, and removable work benches.
Once you know what equipment you want, choosing the right toy hauler also means checking the specifications. These include the GVWR, cargo capacity, and dry hitch weight of the towable unit. You'll need to know what your truck, SUV, or full-size van is capable of towing and how much hitch weight it's designed to handle.
