Toy Hauler Option
Hey everyone! Love this forum and I’m always reading and learning something new here from all the full timers. I’m still a ‘wannabe’ but have an executable timeline and a fairly clear idea of what’s...

A favorite allowed the ramp to be set to extend straight out, and convert into a covered patio!
That has rapidly become a standard option on most higher end 5ers. And available on most mid-range units.

The biggest draw of a fiver is how liveable it is when you are not travelling. A toyhauler completely eliminates that. you are back to a tiny camper with a big garage with choice 2 in it (the tow vehicle remains choice 1)
Not saying anything is wrong, but it makes little sense to me.
The key reasons I see for people who have a toy hauler with a non-toy load is livable space in back.
Some are families with several kids, or kids with friends. They seem to love toy haulers to banish the kids to their own part of the rig for video games and sleeping.
Another common thing I see is full-timers with a full size washer and dryer in the garage.
Then there are couples who have his/her areas. She gets the kitchen and lounge area - which can be quite spacious. He gets the garage as his 'man cave'.
We've spent rainy days in a friend's toy hauler - five women up front cooking and what ever. Five men in the back watching the game in comfort and a few celebratory beverages.
Being 42 ft long - it wasn't crowded with 10 people. Only the line at the bathroom during time-outs.
But I will say, the wife and I didn't consider a toy hauler for our new rig. Didn't want to have to buy a bigger, more expensive TV, and the length is really a negative many places we like to camp.
