Depending how big you want to go, I can't see going wrong with most of the modern toy haulers. I'm partial to the Grand Design Momentum line. Self contained gas genny for power and 11'-12' garages.

You could even take out one, or both, of the couches in the back for your plane racks. Craft them so you could remove / add the couches back if necessary.

Thanks for the tip! When I was seriously considering a toy hauler, I was thinking of getting one with the couches/bed that raises and lowers, and converting the bed to an airplane shelf.

After my first outing with the TC and airplane trailer, I think I have nailed the perfect combo for my needs! I am thinking about upgrading the airplane trailer to a 7' X 14' model and configuring it slightly different.

That is sooooo cool!!! Just the other day I saw someone flying a smaller glider and thought it would be interesting to get into that hobby. Then I see your set-up. I totally different level. Wow!

Looks like I am just North of you! I live in Bellingham and mostly fly right near the Silver Reef casino. Come on out and watch sometime!

I remember juzplanekrazy. He had a KZ toyhauler.

He did have a KZ. He went through a nasty divorce. I believe his ex took the truck and camper and hid them. He found one of them years later I believe. Pretty sure it was the toyhauler

I completely forgot about that. That was the craziest story ever. He located his truck and trailer using Google satellite images and was able to lead the cops right to them.

I met him briefly at an RV show at the Pomona Fairground. Good looking guy...taller sturdier version of Randy Newman. The woman he was with (post divorce) was a knockout, so he appeared to have landed on his feet.

I'm trying to recall the details of how he departed here. I don't think it was a warm departure. I could be wrong, but I think he was one of the members who showed themselves the door after the dreaded "Mercedes ML as Tow Vehicle" prank many years ago. There were a couple of people who didn't get the prank and there were many hard feelings (no more pranks!). It was a shame. He was a good guy.

Anyway, yes, you're absolutely right with the story of his wife stealing his rig. Brrr. Cold stuff.
