What is a toy hauler?

Toy haulers are a type of RV that includes a large storage space (like a garage) in the rear of the unit. This space has been designed for storage.The back portion of a toy hauler drops down and lowers to the ground, allowing you to easily move heavy vehicles like ATVs in and out of the hauler.

Some families still choose a toy hauler even if they do not plan on bringing along additional vehicles. Or, maybe they’ve phased out some of your previous equipment, but still enjoy their trailer.

The additional stage space in a toy hauler can be used as a multi-purpose area. Some families convert it into a guest room, an on-the-go office, or a play space for the kids on rainy days. Others simply use the space to store all of their camping gear, leaving the main living space clear.

What Features and Amenities Come With Toy Haulers?

Like most trailers, you can find toy haulers in many different sizes and styles. Some basic models come with, well, just the basics! All toy haulers will include the garage/storage space. Aside from that, each make and model will vary.

For example, a smaller unit may include a mini kitchen, one or two sleeping spaces, and a bathroom with a sink and a toilet. A larger unit may come with multiple sleeping areas, a full bathroom and a larger kitchen with more cabinets and countertops.

Many toy haulers do include extra amenities that make life on the road more comfortable. These can range from entertainment systems and climate control to outdoor awnings and built-in generators. Higher-end models may feature luxury upgrades such as washer and dryer hookups, reclining sofas, larger refrigerators, or even an entirely separate master bedroom.

When it comes to choosing a toy hauler, you’ll need to consider your budget and your wants and needs. Whether you’re looking for a simple space to store your gear and rest after a long day of adventure, or a fully equipped home-on-wheels with all the comforts you could want, there’s a toy hauler option for you.

What Can Tow a Toy Hauler?

Toy haulers are a type of trailer, which means they will need to be hauled by another vehicle. The type of vehicle you’ll need depends on the size and weight of the toy hauler. Smaller, lightweight models can often be towed by a mid-size SUV or half-ton pickup truck, while larger fifth-wheel toy haulers typically require a heavy-duty truck with a stronger towing capacity.

It’s important to check both the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the toy hauler and the towing capacity of your vehicle before hitting the road. Overloading or using a vehicle that isn’t rated for the trailer’s weight can cause serious safety issues and damage to your vehicle.

If you aren’t sure whether your vehicle is able to tow a toy hauler, check out our handy guide. With our tow guide, you simply input your vehicle’s year, make and model, and it will tell you what your vehicle can handle.

Is a Toy Hauler Right For Me?

A toy hauler might be the perfect option for you if you love outdoor adventures and need some extra space to bring along your gear. From ATVs and dirt bikes to kayaks and camping equipment, the garage area makes it possible to travel with everything stored in one spot. Beyond storage, toy haulers offer the flexibility of modifying the garage space into an extra bedroom, lounge, or even a mobile office.

Toy haulers have a lot of benefits, but they aren’t necessarily the best choice for every family. They tend to be heavier than traditional travel trailers, which means you’ll need the right vehicle to tow them. They can also be more expensive, both upfront and in terms of fuel costs. Before committing, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons in relation to your lifestyle and budget.

A toy hauler might be right for you if:

  • ✓ You want to bring large outdoor gear like ATVs, motorcycles, or kayaks on your trips.
  • ✓ You need a flexible space that can serve as storage, sleeping quarters, or a work/play area.
  • ✓ You prefer having a “base camp” where you can return after a day of adventure.
  • ✓ You have (or are willing to invest in) a tow vehicle with the right towing capacity.
  • ✓ You’re looking for a trailer that blends both practicality and comfort for extended trips.

If this sounds like you, a toy hauler could be a great investment that can make your adventures more convenient and enjoyable. However, if you don’t require the extra garage space or you prefer a lighter trailer, a traditional travel trailer might be a better choice.
