New to Toy Haulers ( RVs in general ) - looking for advice
Hello new guy here..
Starting to look for a BP Toy Hauler that can be towed by a 5.7 Tundra 4x4. I am thinking somewhere in the 21-24' box length range and around 7500# loaded. My truck is rated for 9800# but won't to stat lower than that. Planning on using at state/nat'l parks for a week or two at a time from Ca to Fl and mountains in between. Not looking for a mobile luxury condo but rather comfy beds and decent bathroom. It will only be my young son,wife, and I only so trying to keep it conservative in size. Plan to haul a golf cart from time to time , kayaks, paddle boards, etc.. My first observation is that most of the units in this category seem rather cheaply made. The only unit that appears ( net research ) to be made better in my opinion would be the livin Lite product with its alum frame, floor, superstructure. I consider myself very handy so a used model is not out of the question. I guess my biggest fear of used would be rot. Anyway so for the long narrative - all advice is welcomed.
