TomandJenn,
You say she likes tent camping and you want to take motorcycles in a toy hauler. That may not be a good mix for her if you mean off-road motorcycles. Drive to some nearby campgrounds where you might find toy haulers and motor cycles. Spend some time walking around camp and see if it's what she has in mind for tent camping.
You can rent a trailer for less than 19 days. Look for a 3-day weekend rental and try it. It's going to be a basic unit & maybe not a toy hauler, but will give you an idea of what it's like to camp in a trailer. If it costs $1000 for a weekend and she says "not my style", it will be a relatively inexpensive trial (compared to buying one & then reselling it).
Long way of saying "happy wife, happy life".
Hey thanks for the reply. By tents and motorcycles, I mean we tent camp once a year with the quad, but we're looking at a toy hauler to take my Harley on the road with us. We only have one quad, so taking that wouldn't work for us and it's not something we probably would do anyway. Our tenting experience comes once per year and is a family event for her.
She wants to go to Nashville, I want to ride the Tail of the Dragon, etc.. so it's a happy medium. We can go to Florida for winter break (we're both teachers) and stay there pretty cheap since it's off-season. She loves riding on the back of the Harley too so it's a win-win. You are very right about a shorter rental, I'll have to look into that. I just figure a longer trip is a good way to allow her to get a chance to like it, not a quick trip you know. I think and she agrees that she will probably love it and be hooked.
But, as you stated, happy wife, happy life which I agree with 100%.
