How to get toys to trails?

[Happycamper109]

This is probably a dumb question but we are very very newbies!

How do people get their ATVs from the RV campsite to the trails if they just have a Toy Hauler?

We bought two ATVs and are planning to purchase a Toy Hauler. I can only guess that we need to either bring a trailer along with the TH to transport the ATVs or drive the TH to the trail locations. I am in Alberta and you can tow a TH and a trailer behind the truck. This seems like a lot of trouble though but so does moving TH every outing. We are going to British Columbia this summer and you can't tow two items in BC. I guess we have to drive TH in this situation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Linda

Random camp (boondock) at the trails for free instead of in a campground. Lots of options in Alberta.

Is it a long bed or short bed pickup? I have a long bed (8 foot) and can shut off the gas and stand 2 of them up on their rear wheels and they fit in the bed. Just have to have ramps to get them into the pickup.

Take the box off the truck and replace it with a flat deck

Thank you so much for the responses! My husband wants a 5th Wheel Toy Hauler so we won’t be able to use a deck. We believe a 5th Wheel is easier to maneuver. Texan, we will look into this tow bar, this might work. The campsite isn’t too far from the trails but we would have to go on the road. One website for the tow bar said “Off-Road Towing Only” but then later down it says “Do not use on highways where minimum speed limits are 45 MPH” and “Twin Ball Hitch is recommended when towing two ATV's on roads where you have greater side clearance for the ATV's”. I’ll have to try to find the rules to use this in BC, exactly how far the trails are from the campsite and if we are feeling “lucky” and just do it anyway (maybe I’ll look into how much the fine would be ? ).
Old-Biscuit, thank you for thinking outside the box but we would need to go on the road.

When I had a toy hauler my truck had a flat deck on it instead of a box, so I just put them on there and left the hitch at the camp.

Ride them?

Depends how far you need to row. If a short distance at a reasonable speed, then you can set up the toys with a tow bar and tow behind the truck.

You could unhitch the toy hauler and put one in the bed of the truck. With a special rack on the truck, you could take two.
