My DW is an obsessed quilter. I've searched this site but haven't seen this question. Has anyone converted the garage on their Toy Hauler to a sewing/quilting room. I'm assuming you can buy them without the couches and tables in the garage, but I'm wondering if it's feasible to put tables along both sidewalls and add outlets to plug in sewing machines etc. We are fifth wheelers right now and plan on fulltiming starting in the new year. Can you fulltime comfortably in a Toy Hauler? Thanks for your help.

Yes, you can order most toyhaulers without the bed's in the back and then you have an open room to do whatever you want with. We already have outlets in the garage area as I am sure most do. LOTS of people full time in toyhaulers, very versatile with the back garage/sewing/ ham radio/ etc room.

as tmm2good said plenty of people use a Toy Hauler for other reasons then hauling toys. I've seen them setup as wood shops and sewing rooms. Before you jump a few things to check is the insulation in the garage area and availability of A/C and heat, don't assume there is enough to keep it cool or hot, verify it. Check how many circuits are available in the garage portion and that the power needs match your needs. Finally be aware that Toy Haulers tend to have much heavier king pin/tongue weights compared to their fifth wheel non-toy hauler cousins. Double check your truck capabilities and don't assume a sales person knows what they are talking about. Have fun shopping!

I took out the dinner table on the garage happy jack but left the second bed in place without mattress. Now it's a great place for my tools. Push the button - down they come. Push the button - up they go.

A friend of mine bought a Montana with the bunkhouse slide. They removed the beds and turned it into their sewing room. Might be an alternative.
