What Are Toy Hauler Camper Trailers?

Toy Haulers can be either Travel Trailers, 5th-Wheelers, or even Motorhomes, which have an open area designated to house your “Toys”. Of course, by “Toys” I mean those grown-up toys like ATVs, Dirt Bikes, Snowmobiles, or anything else you want to take with you on your next camping adventure. These open areas are often located in the rear section of the Travel Trailer or 5th-Wheel or Motorhome, where the rear wall can fold down to act like a ramp and garage door to secure your belongings within. These trailers are especially handy because you do not need an extra vehicle to tow your “Toys” and another one to tow your living quarters. It’s like an all-in-one package type deal.

The Same, But Different

Other than the “Garage Space” available in the rear of the trailer, the rest of the trailer is very similar to other Camping Trailers. They still have all the creature comforts of home. Kitchens with a refrigerator, stove top/oven, microwave, dining and entertainment area, full bathrooms and some come with the ability to hook up a dishwasher and washer/dryer. They even have centralized heating and cooling systems. Not to mention sleeping areas and slide outs to make the living quarters a little more comfortable and roomier when in use. There are even some on the market that have fold out porches so you can be up off the ground and have access to your trailer while watching whatever off road sporting event you are attending. 

No Campground Needed

Just like most Travel Trailers they also have to have the basic infrastructure to power and operate all these creature comforts. Like needing to have a basic 30-to-50-amp power supply, and fresh water. Most of the time people who invest in Toy Haulers, use these trailers so they have a place to stay when attending some sort of event. That is why is many come equipped with a generator or generator hook up system to power all their appliances. Of course, they also come standard with Fresh, Grey and Black water storage tank systems. So they still have the ability to wash and use the bathrooms when not hooked up to a supply system. The Grey and Black water storage systems are also in place to safely transport wastewater sewage to a properly maintained wastewater dump station. 

Hauling the Toy Hauler

Toy Haulers tend to be a little bit longer because of the extra space needed, but they still vary in length and come in different floor plans. However, the width and height have to be more consistent to not exceed most state and federal guidelines for travel vehicles. Most have a width between 96”-102” (8 to 8.5 feet) and a height between 160”-168” (13.3 to 14 feet). Any Toy Hauler exceeding these dimensions will be considered oversized and will have to follow different guidelines, including getting special travel permit. It is always a good idea to check with your local state guidelines or travel destination guidelines to be sure you are complying with all laws. Plus it is good to note that when checking these laws if they are measuring to the top of the trailer or to the highest part, which can be the top of a roof mounted A.C. Unit. 

Lots To Choose From

With the Extreme Off Road Circuit industry growing, so has the Toy Hauler industry. That is why there are even more options out there to choose from and its’ no longer a, take what you can get, type scenario. So as always, take your time and shop around for what suits you and your families or team’s needs. Talk with others of what works, what doesn’t, are there any Add Ons available to make your trip that much more enjoyable? Remember you want to spend more time playing with your “Toys” and not regretting the “Snap” decision you made picking out a Toy Hauler simply because it Hauls your Toys.
