Seeking a used 1/2 Ton Tot Hauler. Ideas?

Took my Flashlight and opened all cabinets, check behind the toilet, all walls / windows look solid. Ramp works with ease and it is solid as well. Just trying to keep the cost down as best I can. I have a few friends that have WnP's. They seem to be quite happy with theirs.

The search is still on I must say....

Thanks for the reply!!

Happy Trails....

That Work and Play is over 10 Years old... I would go for something newer. On any older Rig I would check for water damage... Walls around windows and floor around ramp....

Thanks for your input folks. I do appreciate it!!!

Looked at a Work and Play last night. She is an older model, 2004, 20-MLK. Has all the expected stuff. AC, Water Heater (5 gal) 2 folding beds / couches in back, Table, fridge, MW, 3 burner stove... They are including the WD receiver and bars. Tires look fine. No checks or dry rot.

They are the original owners with service records and all paperwork / manuals.
She needs;
A full detail / cleaning, interior and exterior.
Deep cell battery
Awning (None installed)
New entry Step. (It's pretty bad...)

They are asking $6300. NADA reports High retail at $5360. With things considered, I will most likely make my initial offer of 4K and see where it goes. I don't want to be upside down in value from the get go. And I don't want to insult them either. My thought is... "It is what it is..."

NADA is a great tool I have used it forever for cars and such....

I have a Playmor Motorsport to look at tomorrow. Its a 2014, no beds with the standard options. He is asking 11,500.

Does anyone have any additional input for these two models?

Thanks and Happy Trails!

You really have to check the specifications of your particular half ton. Half Ton's Gross towing capacity can be anywhere from 7k to 10k+ depending on the truck.. Then look at the MUST haves in a Toy Hauler ie enclosed garage or open, seperate bedroom, walk around bed or a combination of...And then how much you want to spend and go from there...
If you like Play Mor then check out the Work and Play line they have bumper pull toy haulers from 16 foot to 36 foot.

Make sure you can retain 10% tongue weight with the half ton of bike in the back. Should be in the specs for the trailer somewhere.

Grey Wolf 19RR

Couple of 1/2 ton towables.

I towed a 19RR with my Ford 1/2 ton and it was no problem. It was a great trailer for rallies and such. I now tow a 25RR with the same half ton. Still tows like a breeze. Adding the wing in the back didn't make much of a difference. If anything it dropped the hitch weight a little.

I used to have a Tundra 4.7L truck and it didn't handle the 19RR as well. What comforts are you looking for?

Thanks.

The Unit weighs in at 4100 pounds. The wing weighs in at 906 lbs. We won't be take a lot of gear. Just the normal extended weekend sort of stuff.

Our TV is a GMC Sierra Denali. She is capable of 8100 pounds from what I have read. I do have a 15K pound hitch ready to go. I am fully aware of overweight versus CGVW.

Thanks for the hint!!!
