I'm 66. You don't need a toyhauler. The less toys you have, the less things you need to take care of in your race Friday night to get to the river or woods. A 5er is like pulling a sled. My brother delivers Trailers for Horizon and hates them. Big, Bulky and make your truck work to the max. Get a smaller motorhome, pull your toys but you don' need over 35 feet if you're outside all the time. It's a waste and more to take care of. We figured out the price of owning a bass boat and if you could only guess what a fish cost'/lb. A new one starts at 22K. We rent a boat, usually $100/day and don't have to tow it out of the water or home. You can rent jeeps in CO so I suppose you could rent them in ID also. I like the simple life of going to any trailer park, campground or boonies and crashing from Friday night til Monday and watching the crazies hurl themselves into it.
Big part of having a toy hauler for us is having a separate dedicated (when set up) work area from the living area. So the #1 reason for me to get a toy hauler is really to use the back area as an office, not for the toys. The fact that I can then take the toys I already own (already paid for, no payments, I own them) out into the woods to play with is a bonus.
Definitely not planning on racking up a credit card to buy toys and not looking at the Toy Hauler simply because I want to take toys.
Have also looked at some of those bunk units where they have a separate living area for kids and have thought about converting that to an office. So far haven't found one I love + though I don't need the toys the toy hauler lets me take them (ATV's and kayaks). But I will probably keep looking.
