Medium size toy Hauler

[jk6672]

I've been looking for days now at Toy Haulers and I'm going to toss up the two I keep going back to as the most practical layout for me. BTW, this will be my first, I only have experince with open trialers to date.

I like the layout of the Weekend Warrior SS1900 and I like the looks of both fiber glass and aluminum sidings, but have a question about the aluminum also. How easy is it to dent or tear? I live in the desert and cant remember the last time I seen hail, so I'm not worried about hail. I do think the blistering sun on an uncovered fiberglass body my take a toll, but that's just a guess.

I also like the Jayco Octane Superlite 222, it's very simular in layout except no slide out for bed. They also offer both aluminum or fiber glass. specs are very simular in everthing but cargo capacity.

Any +/- to these or input on others close to these would be much appreciated.

Also ground clearance is important for the areas I like to camp, so I'm hoping a simple axle flip will cure any ground clearance issues.

I drive a 2016 RAM 3500 SRW longbed with a 3" performace lift and 37" tires.

I have a Rubicon 1905 it has floor plan similar to the Jayco you mentioned. It has a larger fresh water tank than the jayco at 82 gallons and 42 for black and gray. The main difference between the two would be the beds in the rear. I see the jayco has the happy jack bunks that suck up to the roof. The rubicon does not have that bunk bed just the dinette that folds up vertical to the walls. That does offer some some storage down both side above the dinette. It is aluminum siding and has a rubber roof. It has been hit by hail and no damage. with either the fiberglass or the aluminum the sun will do some damage. My siding has been fine but I have had the UV paint applied to the roof every 2 years. Had to replace the plastic vent covers and some of the plastic lanyards on my plugs for city water, dump tanks, etc.. have all broken due to the sun. This was my first trailer and got it when it was just my wife and I. It works great but I wish I had a walk around master bed. I just have to remind myself that I could be sleeping in a tent. We are soon to be a family of 4 and this trailer will still fit our needs. Not sure how many people you will have in yours but the rubicon is maxed with 4 people. So if you have a larger family or growing family the jayco maybe better.
