Looking for a quality Toy hauler but discouraged.

[Hardline]

We have recently sold out Jayco Eagle 345BHS. We’ve been happy with it but have decided a toy hauler would be better for hauling bicycles and kayaks.

We have looked at lots of trailers that are mostly had hard lives. We have looked at two in the last week that are 2015-2014 XLRs that the floors are completely rotten out. Are there certain brands that last better to be in the used market? Our 2007 was in far better shape then any of the ones we’ve seen and the prices they are asking for these trailers are a premium.

We are a little discouraged that we have sold our nice camper now. Looking for some insight into this buying decision. Thanks.

Check out ATC toyhaulers, not cheap but you often get what you pay for.

Lot of owners just don't maintain their stuff like they should. I'd keep looking, but the challenge your facing right now is that even used RVs seem to have had their prices go up. At least you caught the rot before you bought it. Keep searching.

X2 your paying for a big box of air.

Rot is a maintenance issue. Maybe guys who buy toy haulers are harder on their equipment but it's really a maintenance issue.

That said, toy haulers get a premium that I really don't understand. There really isn't a construction reason for them being so much higher price.

Avoid forest river.
Look towards the brands that ditch the wood studs.

Rotten floors means water leaks. Keep searching.

New would be a better option so you can control all maintenance. Wood rot is preventable.

If all you want to bring is bicycles and kayaks we use the “Jack it” bike rack on the front and the “Vertiak” kayak rack on the back of our TT. No need for a toy hauler.
