New Guy needs advice on features

Hello – New Guy Here – Have a couple questions but first a little background.

We are ready to move up to a FW this year. We have been camping for years, tents and pop-up. We sold the pop-up last year in anticipation to get a FW in the near future. I also ride a Goldwing. SO isn't too up on traveling cross country on the back of the wing so my though is to get a Toy Hauler so that we can get to destination and then ride. I currently have a F350 SRW (been anticipating this move for some time, but this is the year!) so I'm set in that department.

What is important is the pin weight and the payload on the single rear wheel truck. You may find you will run out of payload before you run out of towing capacity. Most of the heavier fifth wheel toy haulers would be better towed with a dually more from pin weights than anything else. However, since you have not purchased the toy hauler you can work the numbers and get what fits the truck.

I have found a (new) unit I like but a couple features concern me. I would like to know your thoughts regarding these features. Would they be a deal breaker for you?

First feature is a water capacity. Fresh = 100, Black = 32, Grey = 42. Is the Black being 32 going to be a problem?

Doubtful if that tank will be a problem. Probably more of an issue would be the gray tank as it contains the shower water, sink, etc. It is fairly small for a toy hauler. But, as others have stated, if you are with hook-ups it is all a non issue.


It seems to be on the low side. How long would that last a typical couple camping? Maybe it’s a non issue if most of our camping will not be boon docking.

Next concern is the bed. Its 60”x74”. A camper queen as I understand it. I’m 6’4”. Is there a work around to either make it larger or should I just plan on hanging over the end?

Thanks for help. Happy New Year!
