Comparing Customer Service and Quality

Why are you buying a ToyHauler for tail gateing? Not a real choice in my opinion. Buying a lot of unused capability at a premium price!!

I know it sounds weird, but it really does work out the best. Where we are, tailgating often occurs in 100* temps. Having snacks and food sitting outside doesn't last very long, but putting it inside and having people walk in and out of your trailer means it never really cools down. It's even worse when a kiddo needs to take a nap and the door keeps opening. The garage is the perfect place to keep the food and guests. People can come in and out as much as they want. The garage will stay cool enough for the food while the living space stays nice and cold...ready for bedtime once the game is over. As a bonus, kids can nap in peace during the game in the living room. Another plus...toy haulers come standard with a generator (a must for tailgating). Yes, I know they can be added into a normal fifth wheel, but toy haulers have the additional gas tank...it just simplifies things when you are parked in a parking lot for 48 hours. Speaking of simplifying, dare I mention the fact that I can throw all of our tables, chairs, coolers, kiddie pool (I told you...it gets HOT), bikes, etc. into the garage without having to play Tetris in a pass-thru storage compartment.

Lastly, this did consider our lives outside tailgating. We have two teenagers (well 3 if you count the friend that practically lives with us) and a 4 year old. Bunkhouses work for smaller kiddos, but my 15 year step daughter is almost 6' tall. Having the two "full" beds in the garage are much more comfortable to them than a twin (or worse, rv-size) bunk.

Just to make sure we weren't crazy, we looked at a few normal fifth wheels today. I'll admit, they were really nice. However, the price didn't really make up for the amenities we have with the garage.
