More haul / less "toy"

I am new here, and hope to be active.

As an age-old tent camper, I have finally decided to get off the ground and dirt and purchase a trailer.

I went to an RV show in Sacramento this past weekend and learned a lot. The main question for me relates to the construction and features of all of the Toy Haulers I saw.

Is there a product on the market that is less ticky tacky and more robust? I see lots of fragile little features in trailers, and would prefer a more substantial construction, less cutesy trim and curtains, and more space for living.

The ideal trailer for me would include the garage feature of a toy hauler, A/C, heat, a forward-located bed, no internal walls, and perhaps even no kitchen or bathroom. Just a lot of cargo space and a bed, suitable for an outdoor kitchen under the awning.

    Gingerbread - I will remember that, thanks.
  • The Work & Play line from Forest River comes to mind, but also take a look at the Desert Fox line too, they are very solid trailers, not as much flash but I've known people that have them for years and they love them.
  • Suggest you go to the top of this forum: The new Complete List of Toy Haulers.

    I'm sure you will find close to what you are looking for. If I were buying today, I would probably buy a Desert Fox. Enjoy the search, and welcome to the forum.
  • ATC, Sundowner, Featherlite, Millenium, Any of the cargo trailer or horse trailer mfg make toyhaulers.

    Forest River work and plays are nice as well.


    And I am with you, I want less gingerbread and more of the last a long time well built.
