Thanks for all the responses! I am not worried about a short term smell, just how that effects the camper in the long term. It seems most recommend a hauler with a separate garage, which I can not afford.
Let me pose this question. If all you could afford is a single room toy hauler (20-25ft), would you get the toy hauler or just buy a travel trailer and put the bikes in the bed of the pickup? I will never have anything larger than dirt bikes. I know some folks have quads, buggies and other toys that would never fit in the back of a pickup. But if you could fit your toys in the bed of a pickup, would you still consider a toy hauler??
Our first TH had an open floor plan (no garage). We didn't have any trouble at all.
Someone mentioned fuel storage. I would never haul fuel jugs in the TH. I keep mine in the bed of the truck.
Same here, and still have an open floor plan. I've slept in the trailer numerous times with the bike in it, lowered the bed down to just above two bikes (one two stroke, one four) and my son slept on it, no issues. Just need to be sure gas is off and they don't leak. If the bikes are well maintained (you race so I'm sure they are) its all fine. there will be no accumulated smells. I loaded my bike last night for this weekend, if I go in it now I'll be able to smell the bike just like you'd smell onions left in a bag in the fridge.
