Toy Haulers - Looking for general info

Hello, unfortunately(or fortunately, depending how you look at it). Our 24 foot travel trailer was stolen a few days ago. Insurance says they are going to replace it with a similar 2018 modal, but we may have the option to upgrade.

I have a side by side (its a large 60" wide model approx 10 ft long) that I'd like to bring along, so I was considering a toy hauler.

I wouldn't want to put in a lot more money, so I'm guessing we would be looking at the lower end models, we have 2 boys and two adults to sleep. Some privacy for the adults would be nice.

Also, I have a half ton, so looking for a smaller/lighter unit, 24-26 feet.

We loved our KZ camper but couldnt keep the mice out of it. Not sure if there are any "better" trailers in this regard.
  • Thanks for this. I already had an eye on the jayco octane 222. Looks sweet. I guess we will see when the time comes, but I want to be prepared.

    Is there any special features that are sought after on these toy haulers? Any manufacturer known for better warranties?
  • KZ is now manufacturing the livin lite series and there are other 1/2 ton towable toy haulers out there. It really depends on your budget and feature desires.

    For instance, you'll pay more for an all aluminum trailer over a stick and fiberglass, but it will also allow you to tow the unit fully loaded with a 1/2 ton truck.

    Lot's of options, you just need to narrow down first how much you're willing to spend and second what features you need with said trailer.
