What is a Toy Hauler?

If you’re shopping for a small trailer, you may have stumbled across toy haulers. What is a toy hauler? Basically, it’s a travel trailer RV with a large opening and ramp door that’s usually located at the rear. Toy haulers share similarities to cargo and open-box trailers and travel trailers. The interior of a toy hauler includes living quarters in the front, while the rear is a storage area for “toys” like ATVs and bikes. Considering a toy hauler for your trips around Coeur d'Alene, ID?

Toy Hauler vs. Travel Trailer

The ramp door at the rear is one of the main aspects that separate toy haulers from travel trailers and other types of RVs. Generally, toy haulers offer many of the same amenities and conveniences as RVs but are compact and great choices for adventurers who like to travel off the beaten path.

What Are the Benefits of Toy Haulers?

• Independence During Travel: Water and electricity hookups aren’t available off paved roads. Due to their size and intended use, toy haulers are self-contained and often include freshwater tanks and built-in generators to power air conditioners and more.
• Reliability: Toy haulers are meant to be taken off-road, so they’re built to withstand the trials and tribulations of traveling down bumpy or gravelly roads and venturing into eastern Washington to camp. For this reason, toy haulers also tend to have higher ground clearance, as well as interior fixtures that can survive bumps.
• Space-Saving Features: Like many other types of RVs, toy haulers often include foldable beds, couches, and tables, allowing you to use and stow away furniture as needed.
• Versatility: Toy haulers come in all different shapes and sizes. Whether you work on the road or travel with a large group, you can personalize your RV with the furniture and appliances you need to enjoy life on the open road.
