Determine Your Needs

Toy haulers can be travel trailers, fifth wheels, or motorhomes.

Travel trailer toy haulers are affordable and easy to haul with a standard truck or SUV. Fifth-wheel toy haulers are more spacious and stable, but they require a pickup truck of sufficient size and weight handling capacity to haul them from one spot to another. This is due to their specialized gooseneck-style hitch. Conversely, motorized toy haulers are self-contained units you'll drive like a car.

Choose the Right Size

Once you've chosen the type of toy hauler you want, consider the size that’ll fit your needs perfectly. Usually, these campers come in sizes ranging from 20 feet to over 45 feet. Although larger models offer more amenities and space, they can be more expensive and difficult to maneuver and park.

Consider the Features

Next, consider the features your family will be comfortable with. For example, think about the number of sleeping berths, the type of kitchen appliances, and the size of your cargo bay before making your final decision. You might also want to explore distinctive floorplans and interior designs to ensure you pick the perfect one for your family.

New vs. Used

Finally, plan a realistic budget, then explore brands you can afford. If your preferred brand-new toy hauler is too expensive, you can check out used models from the same brand or similar models.
