There are several/many folks with a large family going to that option, as they (new owners) appear regularly on the HDT forum.
Some carry a Smart on the deck, others like "bmzero" use both the deck (for his very "trick" RZR) and a toy hauler for other toys or the Smart.
Most/many states allow "converted" HDTs to be registered as Motor Homes.
