I'm Now Toy Hauler-less

Well guys, after 12 years of owning various Toy Haulers, we sold (and will miss) our much loved Weekend Warrior 5th wheel a couple of weeks ago. We made a lot of memories in it with trips to the beach, Dumont Dunes, Glamis, Ocotillo Wells and the Sierra's. We still have all the toys though and will rent a few different motor homes over the course of the next year or so before we get into the buyers market. Next up for sale, our POS Ford 6.0 (which we won't miss). It's been fun and I've learned a lot from being a member on this forum. Cheers!
  • We went with a truck camper and tow an enclosed trailer after selling our toy hauler. We haul extra water and gray tanks in our trailer. Our 6.0 did well for 10 years, but I just upgraded to something a little bigger.
  • The biggest prompt was that we just didn't get out enough anymore with the kids growing up, off to college and involved in so many other activities. Due to the unit sitting, tires seemed to be rotting away faster than I could replace them. The 2nd biggest prompt was the unreliability of my Ford 6.0. Getting to and from our destinations was always a nail biter as we never knew what or when it would break next and I didn't want to buy another tow vehicle.

    Congrats on the sale. What prompted the change? No reason to run off, you're still welcome here :) Good call on renting motorhomes, we made the switch a few years ago and very happy we did. The setup worked well for where we camped and gave me greater flexibility to tow our toys as well as our boat and Jeep now.
  • If you are like me, exploring new rigs and set-ups is exciting. Keep us updated on what works out. I'm always scared to jump out of the TH due to water capacity concerns but I'm sure I just don't know what's out there.
