What I'm looking for are the MUST-HAVE's for a toy hauler - What yours has that you wouldn't live without, or what your hauler doesn't have that would make your life easier. This, so far, is what I've read that people love:
-Wall separating garage
-Hauler big enough that you do not have to unload any gear to access living/sleeping quarters
-Power awning
-Generator
What else is there? Towing handling and truck capabilities aside, is there much of a living difference between a TT and 5th wheel (space/room)?
So, from what I can tell, I'm going to be looking around a 30 footer (Give or take for different models and such)
I'll offer my opinion on a few of your comments (snipped above):
Living space is small-ish for the exterior size...a 40-foot toy hauler with a 12 foot garage effectively gives you the living space of a 28-foot RV. Of course, if the garage serves double-duty as a separate bedroom, then that changes the equation.
A 30-foot toy hauler with a separate garage...does that even exist? I don't think for a fiver, but perhaps a bumper pull. The non-garage "living area" has got to be small, so keep that in mind.
