ATC 25 ft toy hauler w front bedroom

We use ours as travel trailer, the genny is used frequently at Casino parking lots, rest areas etc. It bridges a gap that motorhomes offer by having a self contained aux power with over 30 gallons of fuel. The refueling station, we never use it and I worry about the pump. I don't think you can order a propane genny.

It all depends what you like if your off roading it's nice to have the fuel on-board keeping in mind the on-board fuel runs your genny as well. If you don't use a lot of fuel you can always opt for a propane genny too. Another option propane jenny and a fuel station.

We do ride in AZ, but nothing more than 2 5 gal cans can't take care of. We only dry camp and my preference is towards solar and the only thing 120v is the wife's hair dryer.

I'm with you on giving up the cap on the truck, but I'm waiting to see what the floor plan is for the 5r. I pretty much swore off stapled together trailers and the weight of these units is very attractive.

Fifth wheel is interesting. Never pulled one but hear once you do you will never go back to bumper pull. Hate to give up my truck bed with topper for storage, and truck is also a short box.

I see most dealers are not ordering stock units with genny. Ours came from the factory installed. We love it.

A fifth wheel will be interesting. For us too much. Best of luck.

The quality of ATC toy haulers is easily seen with a quick comparison to a traditionally built rv. Were on our 1st year in a 28 front bedroom with genny.

Not sure on your request for space, but rest assured the coach comes highly recommended.

You can get a roll on champion generator for a few 100 $$. You'll only need it to run the air or charge the batteries. Just roll it out when you roll out the bike. Keep a gas can in the truck bed.

you might appreciate a front bedroom when on the road and you want to overnight it without unloading.

The Ford has a good reputation. it should pull a light weight 25 footer.

I have a lightweight 5th wheel, not sure if they make them anymore. But it's easy to hitch and pull. Has a front bedroom.

There are several ATC owners here that will chime in I am sure.

I've owned my last RV without a built in generator, never again, but that is personal preference. I do believe that resale is much easier and better values with a generator. If you dry camp a lot they are great, or if you are going to put in a solar system with plenty of batteries. Lots of pro's and con's to weigh but it all really depends on your camping style and budget.

Your good on the truck. If your gonna dry camp anywhere the gen will pay for itself.
