Upgrading Toy Hauler

I already had my TH when I went o upgrade from ATVs to a side by side. Problem we ran into was advertised side by side at a little less than 10 foot was actually too long for my rig. I ended up looking around I found the machine that we thought would work. Prior to purchase I too the TH to the dealer and loaded the unit into the rig to be sure it fit. I have about 2 inched to spare front and back. I am not looking to upgrade the TH to one with a 12 ft garage.

Aquaholic, when I bought my Momentum 385TH it ended up being 3" too short for my Fiat Abarth that I wanted to put in the back (because of a miscommunication involving the true length of the garage and rear bathroom wall.) Even removing the patio fences didn't free up enough space so I added a 3" extension to the back to move the ramp door back 3" I Built it out of 3" square tubing. Worked out great.

So if there is the perfect trailer but a couple inches too short, you have options. The GD Momentum is a great choice!

That is very helpful. Did you post any pictures of the door when you where done?

No, but if you PM me with an email address I will send them to you.

With the Momentum, if you get the rear patio option, you lose about 6" of garage space due to the patio sides that fold in. I bet this is true for most all makes, but something to consider when shopping. We have a Momentum 349M and love it.

Good to know. Is it easily removed to get the length back? We do like the 349 also but again im just trying to keep it short as possible.

One thing I forgot about the 349 is the capacity. With full water and the Wolverine X4 that puts the trailer just about at it's max weight.

Our Impact 351 has a 12'6" garage and is 38'1". We don't need 12'6" but want to keep this hauler for a long time, so we bought bigger than we need in case we go bigger with the toys later. And yes, account for a bit of space loss if you have the rear patio.

We had the "fits snugly" issue with our last hauler... garage was 9' (no rear patio) and so was our RZR. RZR had to sit against the front wall (it was a solid door to the garage vs glass slider) in order to fit. I felt like it would eventually cause problems with the wall since no matter how tight you tie it down, it still does move a little.

My Fuzion 325 has an 11 foot garage and is a touch over 38' long.

If you are starting from scratch buy a 12' garage.

Maybe a toy hauler with the garage as part of the living space if you can't get one with an 11ft garage you probably need.
