Floor plans for two people

[danrn]

I believe I already know the answer, but I will still ask. Until recently I was set on getting a Heartland Landmark San Antonio, and towing my 6 X 12 enclosed trailer with my motorcycle in it behind the 5th wheel. I would not take my motorcycle with me all the time and therefore I wasn't looking at toy haulers; thought the garage would be a waste of space. Then after reading in this forum about all the concerns with triple towing and the total length being longer then allowed in many states, I now am looking at toy haulers. I know that the average toy hauler appears to be designed to handle 6-8 people, and the garage can vary in size, but I would like to know if anybody has seen/heard of a toy hauler that is designed for less people? It would basically just be my wife and I, and my one motorcycle would be the only thing I would take with me.
Thanks,
Dan

Both NY and Virginia consider it to be a trailer. Since no double tows in either state, no can do.

It's debatable.

Thus, we will probably not take it out East with us. Don't need a cop with nothing better to do.

Since it doesn't pivot on the trailer it is not considered a trailer, at least that's my understanding.

That is my understanding also. And I have read from others using this or similar not having a problem out East.

But I have read others that have been pulled over also.

Not sure I want to have to debate it with a cop on the side of the road. A debate I am sure to lose, no matter what logic says.

Voltage 3950 works just great for the two of us.

OP, also thinking that if you have a 5th in mind you love, you truly can get a motorcycle carrier welded onto the back. It means you get the camper you want, just haul the cycle on the back.

we might be doing this with our golf cart in the future. but what I get welded onto the frame for hauling will be intense, but I can spend $5K on that but keep my camper as my #1 important floorplan I want most.

just an option to consider. when spending bigger bucks, take your time to get the set up you really, really want. I will be 🙂

That is what we ended up doing.



I asked them on their facebook page. They have a thread about their new design. See if they answer.

I don't know but these pics might help ya 🙂

I checked around on the net and finding one of these is rough and the website doesn't give any specs on it. surprised about that. maybe the kind of thing ya gotta contact them??

what is never good is finding something you are interested in and it isn't in your area.

I just hit a site with the pics of it also but can't find weight info etc.

that side hauler would come in handy for kayaks and a whole lot more also.

can fit in 1 motorcycle and you don't have that 'big back door' to worry about if you want something easier to handle or worry about having that extra space when the back comes down.

That is awesome! I just cannot find anything on weight capacity. Is it GoldWing compatible?

Looks like they are using a Rampage lift though they are calling it an "exclusive lift".

Write up on new Alfa Gold.

Finally someone thinking a new way.

I am currently checking into mega luxury 5th wheels for the future. still between toyhauler and luxury full time living 5'ver with just adding a hydralic lift to the back for a golf cart.

good thing for us we have a few years before all this happens, our final big luxury rig, but I am looking about my options now 🙂

Just looked at the new XLR Thunderbolt 385AMP. Front living, great kitchen rear bedroom with French doors and a Murphy bed with a very nice orthopedic gel mattress about 8 or more inches thick. Check it out.

In regards to them being "designed for 6-8 people".... the bed/sleeping areas for anything beyond two people is things such as convertible dinetter area, bunk overt he garage (which could double as a storage loft) or sofas/drop down beds in the garage.

The sleeping arrangements foer person number 1 and 2 is going to be the bed up front. All the other beds aren's beds until you turn them down and make them in to a bed.... Hence, they may sleep more than 2 people, but all the extra beds are priamrly beds.
So, they are designed for 2 people, and more can sleep in them if you choose to use the bonus sleeping areas.

I agree with this. I really like the Fuzion 342 floor plan, and it is just two of us. Should additional people come along we have the bunk beds in the back which come down. If we need more room than that it gets to be a bit of pain (except for whomever wants the loft). I hate having to convert the living room to sleeping space.
