Thanks for the advice everyone! Good to hear. I'll for sure start digging around in the forums for the different brands and get a feel of questions for sure. I am in the Houston, Texas area and I'll look around for some training. I've driven 14 foot cargo trailers with a 1/2 ton truck across the country but nothing to this size. I have traveled around 8-10 hours a day driving the 14' trailers and feel comfortable.
The main reason I am looking at a toy hauler is because I travel to air shows and I need the space to carry my merchandise/tent/setup around. I am currently using a 14' cargo trailer now but I am getting tried of sleeping at hotels and throwing away money. Then also would like the freedom to be able to spend a week or so on vacation after the show around the area before heading back home. So I'll more than likely be on the road about 2-3 weeks at time per show. I started out looking at a slide in camper top for my truck but realized I would have to at least upgrade to 3/4 ton and then pull my cargo trailer behind it. But then started looking at toy haulers and liked the idea of getting with the extra space inside the trailer.
I am 100% planning to buy a dually to pull the trailer with. Looking into Chev and Ford.
Just getting my feet wet but will certainly keep doing my homework before pulling the trigger.
Thank you all.
