Toy Hauler instead of TT (to carry 16' boat)
We currently have a truck camper, but wife has decided she likes to go to the coast. Given that the weather can be less than ideal and that there might be indoor time, we're thinking a travel trailer ...

Seemed pretty durable. They stuff that thing and a golf cart and kayaks in the back of their toyhauler.
Considerations for being able to haul a 16-17' aluminum fishing boat? Can the tongue extend further than the cargo area?
You would want a front bedroom model if you plan to live inside the unit with all your toys. Something with a separate garage would be nice but i dont see those very often. The cargo area is usually too small for the things we carry. Might work good for something like Harleys if youre OK with towing a really long trailer.
You need to determine how often you will have to sleep inside the trailer with the toys in there. Lots of people load up quads and dirt bikes and then remove them right away. While others travel the country and leave the toys protected inside the living space.
An inflatable electric boat would solve a lot of the hurdles. Space and gas fumes. Being able to load it all by yourself. They had a blast with it down fishing in mission bay San Diego. Wasnt river worthy due to lack of power. Things have changed though. Electric motor performance keeps getting better.
