i just attended the RV show in Hershey, one of the largest in the land. I can see the problem. I have a Work and Play 34 FK with at least 5800# cargo capacity, 3000 # in the garage. Built exactly like the tractor trailers I deliver to East Penn Battery. But it is spartan inside and of course no insulation in the walls at all, and only R-10 in the all aluminum roof.
What you want is not available. they market the interior to the little woman, and a garage that will hold one motorcycle or an ATV. But you have 3 TV's mounted outside and a refrig because the customer is too lazy to walk inside to get a cool one.
I hope you get the point across.
Thank you! I'm SO glad someone else sees the problem!
We also attended the Hershey Show. We were hoping to discover new things that could work for us. Yes, the Work and Play could have some potential, but it is as you say.
As of now, there is one toy hauler that we like that is available, but it's the only one. It is this one:Heartland Torque 301 I hope other manufacturers will follow HL's lead with the Torque line and start focusing on mid-length, lighter toy haulers.
Funny you should mention the Torque line, over the weekend we likely switched our order from the Kodiak to the Torque 290 SS. It has more features that we really wanted and still had the sliding glass door vapor wall. I believe it is built better as well.
I'm glad you like it too. :>) Yes, the Torque definitely offers more features. I love that we can close off the garage if we want to. That will help on chilly nights when only one of the kiddos is with us, and we don't want to heat/cool the garage.
The Torque is better insulated than the Kodiak as well. I just checked the Dutchmen website. The available brochure (2012) says the Kodiak is R-11 in the roof and floor, and R-7 in the walls. The Torque has an R-24 roof, R-27 floor, and R-9 walls. I am hoping we can order ours with the astro-foil insulation, which is an option for the HL Cyclone and Road Warrior.
