Seeking a used 1/2 Ton Tot Hauler. Ideas?

[jeffnkell]

Checking into a Toy Hauler to haul the Goldwing and do a little camping as well. Looking at Play-mor due to the fact they are quite 1/2 ton towable. Not much creature comforts in the ones I am seeing. But I can add options. I am a handy kind of guy..

Any Ideas?

I would really appreciate some input.

Thanks in advance.

Happy Trails...

You really have to check the specifications of your particular half ton. Half Ton's Gross towing capacity can be anywhere from 7k to 10k+ depending on the truck.. Then look at the MUST haves in a Toy Hauler ie enclosed garage or open, seperate bedroom, walk around bed or a combination of...And then how much you want to spend and go from there...
If you like Play Mor then check out the Work and Play line they have bumper pull toy haulers from 16 foot to 36 foot.

Make sure you can retain 10% tongue weight with the half ton of bike in the back. Should be in the specs for the trailer somewhere.

Couple of 1/2 ton towables.

I towed a 19RR with my Ford 1/2 ton and it was no problem. It was a great trailer for rallies and such. I now tow a 25RR with the same half ton. Still tows like a breeze. Adding the wing in the back didn't make much of a difference. If anything it dropped the hitch weight a little.

I used to have a Tundra 4.7L truck and it didn't handle the 19RR as well. What comforts are you looking for?

Thanks.

The Unit weighs in at 4100 pounds. The wing weighs in at 906 lbs. We won't be take a lot of gear. Just the normal extended weekend sort of stuff.

Our TV is a GMC Sierra Denali. She is capable of 8100 pounds from what I have read. I do have a 15K pound hitch ready to go. I am fully aware of overweight versus CGVW.

Thanks for the hint!!!

I have a Fun Finder XT 276 and it's great. It's light weight, but with the wing in the back it might be a bit much for a 1/2 ton.

They do make smaller versions, but I understand Thor just bought Fun Finder so you might be able to find them at a discount.
