Hello - So we have a 21 ft Rockwood Mini-Lite right now that I love. We want to get quads so know that we would like some type of toy hauler in the future and have started looking around. I don't like the idea of keeping the quads inside, I have seen some with an outside storage deck (I love this idea!) but could only find one model (Highlander) with that option and without the pop out bed.The other option would be an inside separate garage, but I don't want to end up with a 40' trailer as that limits where we can go.Any suggestions? I figure if I ask the experts I might get something better than Google! :)

you're going to be limited if you want a separate garage, what are your objections to an "open" floor plan? Quads take up a LOT of room unless you stand them up. You're probably looking at a 30' tag TH minimum with a garage big enough for two quads on their wheels.The only ones I've seen with outside decks are pop ups and then the tongue weight has got to be very high.What are you towing with?

We have a Dodge 2500 Diesel. So we should be good on weight. I am more worried about the maneuvering into places as we typically like to dry camp farther off the beaten path. Right now our little guy is perfect as far as living space, we would just like to haul quads. 30 feet isn't too horrible, just don't want to be much more than that.I am not a huge fan of the pop ups either. I like to get there and basically be ready to have fun, not spend the time putting everything together.The plan right now is to just drive up north separate when we get quads while researching our options.

So, how big of a garage do you need exactly?I just ask, because our camper, Raptor 27FS (now rebranded as a Carbon 27) is 32' with the tongue and has a 9 foot separate garage. No idea if it would fit 2 quads. Our 1 RZR fits no problem side to side but BARELY fits length wise.

I actually really like your floorplan, it's has more cozy feel. Even if it would only fit one quad because there is not enough room side to side. We could always but one quad along with the other stuff we usually have in the back of the truck....and then one quad in the back of the truck.

What is your concern with having the quads inside? Been doing it for years and never an issue.

See signature for our TH. Take 2 quads with us all the time, with no problem. Turn the gas off, and run the carb dry, and you'll never have a gas smell or spill worry.
