Toy Hauler or travel trailer?
Anyone bought a TH or TT and wish you would have done the opposite? Any reason in particular? Weight, room?
Forum Discussion
Certainly an interesting conversation going on here with different perspectives...which always makes for a good read.
<-- Family of 4 with the two kids ages 11 and 12 1/2. We've had our TT for 4 years now. Has always seemed perfect for us but a couple things have changed:
Moved back to CO
Recently purchased an ATV
Been considering how it would be to sell the TT for a TH. Keep in mind our current TT is a 26' cabin so total length comes in at 30.5'. What keeps me from wanting to move up to a bigger TH is just that, the bigger part. There are many locations for dry camping in CO but the places I want to be, the high country, has its own potential issues...smaller spots, tighter access areas and the potential for mountainous passes where longer towing combined units are not recommended.
At times, I even feel that that my current TT is too long for my desired spots in the high country. But, my current TT feels perfect for trips like last year's vacation to Yellowstone. Now add in the ATV to the equation...
Would be nice to have 2 RVs but that does not makes sense for us as then we would be having to pay to store 2 versus 1.
Soooo, I am now thinking to hold off doing anything. Keep my current TT in top condition (I do spend a good amount of time proactively doing maintenance on the TT), find a covered storage area and wait until the kids move out. Then maybe sell that TT and find a really nice 4 season slide-in truck RV...similar to the offerings from Arctic Cat. This would allow me greater mobility with the ability to additionally tow an ATV trailer or other to the many dry camping spots available in CO.
So even though the original poster asked about TH vs. TT, just thought I would add an additional perspective since I have been thinking along the same lines. But yes, the occupants would potentially be less as slide-ins are really meant for 2 max...at least would be my limits to keep my sanity :)
