Considering a New Toy Hauler

[JerseyKate]

My husband and I are considering trading our regular TT for a Toy Hauler TT (ball and hitch). We would like something in the 30'-34' range, front and back bedrooms each w/ a door - no curtain. Also, a garage in the back instead of a side ramp. It would need to sleep 6-8 people.

We are new toy haulers so any advice - good, bad or ugly is appreciated.

Our current TT is 10 years old so it's been awhile since we have researched them.

Thank you!

Seeing as how you have a 1 ton I would seriously consider a 5er. Your husband will much more enjoy towing than a long bumper pull.

Thanks Johnny H. I clarified earlier that the garage would double as the back bedroom. That would be quite some rig to have 2 bedrooms and a garage.

Thanks to all for your input. We appreciate the wonderful advice and will check out your suggestions! 🙂

I was in your situation a few months ago, had a travel trailer and wasn't going to get a 5th wheel. Now we have a carbon 327 5th and love it, so glad we went with the 5th wheel it tows much better.

What is your tow vehicle? At least a 3/4 ton? Bumper pull THs in those lengths don't tow all that well compared to a 5er. Have you ruled out a 5er?

We haven't completely ruled out a 5er. Our tow vehicle is an F-350 7.3L diesel. We've just started exploring the toy hauler. The next RV show just might change our minds to explore the 5ers but it's ultimately on my husband to make this call since he does the driving.

We have a keystone carbon 33 TT TH. Pulls easy as pie with my f250 diesel with equalizer 14 k hitch. 9,000 dry weight, interior ceilings higher than most TT.

Finding a separate garage in a 30'+ TT is going to be easy. Its the 20'-25' TT toy haulers that are hard to find a separate garage.

Our Work & Play is about as tough as it gets. But its not very "pretty" as the others. I highly respect the service guys at my dealer. They're top notch and they give me good, unbiased advise. The only TT toy hauler they've recommended me to stay away from are the Torque models.

I would like to know were they are (as spec. by the OP) cuz I have a friend looking and they are over 35' with "doors" on bedrooms.

Try the Heartland Torque TQ290. Its been a fine trailer for us.

Thanks momemtum rv. We originally thought this configuration would be difficult to find as well but it seems the industry is beginning to manufacture some nice toy hauler tt's with our specs. It probably would help for me to clarify that the garage will double as one of the bedrooms. So far we have found Keystone Outback and Carbon (Carbon is so far our favorite) and Forest River has some out there but they are designed with less privacy - open floor plan.

I think you are going to find it tough to find a toy hauler that size with a separate garage and in a TT.

Good luck in your search
