Best "Non-Garage" Models

your buddy has a lot of options but before he can choose he needs to know how large his toy is so he can search out the models with the larger cargo area's with in the open floor plans. i own a 2011 wolfpack 295 fiver and where is was the lesser expensive model it has been everything we need and hauls my sand rail just great, we have no slides but when i'm at the dunes or camping it's to go do something not to hibernate in a camper rather than home! i've added a few things to it to tow a little smoother but still over all pretty good! make sure you have the factory 8 ply tires removed and add 10plys right off the bat though as well as on any toy hauler you buy the factory is 1 load range short of reality!! btw my rail is 13' long and 92" wide and 74" tall. it fits fine and i have 15'9" rectangle cargo space plus room for quad in front of the rail but don't take a quad and we still have full access to kitchen forward to camping with the rail in there while on the road.

I would also suggest taking a look at the Eclipse Attitude line. We did a lot of looking and purchased a 14 Attitude 32AKLG. We are happy with it, I don't think you will beat the "bang for your buck". As with any RV, know what you are buying and do a full PDI.

My fault for assuming only Toy Hauler folks cruise the Toy Hauler forum. My apologies. I myself prefer the enclosed garage but it does limit you to the number of toys you can bring. And by the lack of pertinent replies it looks like the non-garage models are a dying breed. This will keep old Weekend Warrior models in high demand for years to come.

I can't speak for others, but I often hit the "Active" button on the top toolbar and peruse all the threads with interesting titles, regardless of what parent forum they are in. There are a lot of folks out there with different campers who have good ideas and experiences from which I can learn.

Even this tidbit was helpful. Never clicked on "Active" before and now I've found (thanks to you) a nice variety of threads. :)

Well, I own a TH but wasn't aware that some bigger models didn't have a separation wall. My 19' doesn't have a wall but I thought all the bigger ones did. Today is a success, I learned something new!

My 39' fifth wheel has 19 1/2 feet of storage before I enter into kitchen. To get that and any reasonable living space with a garage the trailer would need to be 50' long. Most garage units are 10-12' with some at 14'. Some are larger but they are long and really heavy. Many people with a dune buggy have to use the open (no garage) units. Hope that clears it up.

Plus, I can set up pins and bowl in mine

Yep, I have a FA3005 if it had a wall I would be claustrophobic in a minute!
A saw a Rage'n 40 with on open plan once. You could stick 6 ATVs in it.

I assumed that any toy hauler would have a "garage", whether it is an area or closed off. what is that model then that has the swing away wall? :)

Ok... somebody has a bit too much time on their hand to actually write this.... seriously? ;)
Anyway, you may want to check out the used Ragens. We have a FA3005 and are really enjoying it.

I'm with Bumpyroad, I also would like to know, as we do not use toy haulers. If we don't ask, we will never know.

Add me to the list of folks who would like an answer. As far as I know, the garage is the only reason it's called a Toy Hauler in the first place.

There are two types of Toy Haulers, ones that have a seperated garage space (seperated with a wall) and ones that dont have a wall. My hauler does not have a dedicated garage so the couches fold up against the walls and the carpet rolls up so I can pull my toys in for transit. The downside is that I dont have access to my back two beds when the toys are inside (I have a front sleeper though). The dedicated garage is nice for people who like to store there toys inside and not have it take over the living space.

Thank you for the explanation... I have learned something!

I had a boss once that pointed out what could happen if you "assume" something.

Good advice from your boss. My bad, thinking a guy with around 30,000 rv net posts would know the difference between a non separate garage and a "non" garage. I guess you learn something every day!

Your tone seemed "snarky" in your original post, but now I know... you just didn't know.... happens.
