Toyota motor homes

We need to consider downsizing and simplifying from a 30 ft. Class C towing a car to a much smaller unit and not towing. Discovering the older Toyota truck motorhomes. Seems like one would work; except how in the heck do you find a place for stuff to take along. Amazed to see that there is no outside storage. How do you deal with this? Do any of you tow a very small utility trailer? But then darn that's back to towing something.
Second question. We looked at a 1992 Dolphin model sort of reconditioned. Pretty nice; but $28000?

    go sprinter, those old toyota,s had some big problems ,


    this reminds me that back when I was first looking at motorhomes, about 94 IIRC, I mentioned that to my BIL who was my guide in these matters. His first words were, "I hope you aren't looking at Toyotas" I admitted I had sat in one at the dealer and quickly crossed that off my list. and 29 years and 90K later I don't think they would be a better idea.

    I always thought GM missed out on a huge opportunity to captivate the micro-mini motor home market. They should have offered a heavy duty 6-wheel DRW Chevy Astro, GMC Safari cut-away for RV applications. The SRW cutaway that they did offer fell way short, hence it was short-lived.
