Article Updated February 13, 2024

There are almost as many 2024 travel trailer toy haulers as there are things you could want to haul. Is lightweight and easy to tow the most important?

Perhaps sleeping accommodations and cargo capacity top your list of needed features. There are so many options and layouts in travel trailer toy haulers that it can be hard to choose.

There are also cute little retro toy haulers that you can easily tow. Of course, there is everything in between these opposites too. No matter what your needs, there is a perfect travel trailer toy hauler for you.

Are Toy Haulers Heavier Than Travel Trailers?

Another common misconception about the difference between toy haulers and travel trailers is weight. Many toy haulers have aluminum frames, so they are becoming lighter than they were before.

Conversely, many travel trailers now boast 2-3 slide-outs making them heavier than ever before. Also, heavier conventionally built stick and tin travel trailers are making a comeback in today’s Remote Period (2020- Present). This industry evolution means that travel trailers are no longer universally lighter. 

Similarly, interior amenities offered by toy haulers have also evolved. Some toy haulers have amenities so impressive they have become even more expensive than travel trailers. One is not better or worse because travel trailers and toy haulers each have their own distinct benefits.

Are Toy Haulers Built Better Than Travel Trailers?

Toy Haulers are not necessarily better than travel trailers, just a little different. Essentially they are all built in the same factories using the same core parts. The debate between toy haulers vs. travel trailers really comes down to you and your preferences. 

For boondocking, you may want a toy hauler because they typically have heavy-duty chassis, better suspension, and stronger axles. If you like traditional campgrounds and can fit your recreational vehicle in the bed of your truck you may prefer a travel trailer.

There are also some tradeoffs in the interior space of these two different types of campers. Travel trailers typically have more cabinet storage space and they are more likely to have bunkrooms. While toy haulers, on the other hand, have to sacrifice some of those things in favor of garage space. 

Speaking of garage space, Modern Era (2008- Present) toy haulers have come a long way in terms of dressing up this area. Now garages on toy haulers often come with drop-down bunks and sofas. Sometimes the floor of these spaces even looks and flows seamlessly to the rest of the camper. 

Even the smell of fuel is not an issue anymore with campers like the Keystone RV Carbon 36 and other toy haulers like it. There are now drains in the floor and doors that divide the garage space from the remainder of the coach. You no longer have to worry about the camper feeling like a garage once the toys are offloaded.

Toy haulers also have large rear doors that allow you to load and unload vehicles. An underappreciated benefit of this feature is the back deck area that the ramp becomes.

Are Travel Trailer Toy Haulers Good For Kids And Pets?

You don’t always think of toy haulers as being great options for families with young kids or dogs. But this deck is a great way to get some fresh air without having to worry about anyone wandering off.

For those who travel for dog rescue or compete in the show dog circuit , travel trailer toy hauler garages are perfect. With the proper climate control, pet kennels can be secured properly or the garage can be the best pre-show prep space before your champion needs to do their best work in front of the judges.

Which Toy Hauler is the Best Quality?

After all this, you might be asking, which toy hauler is the best quality? I would argue that they all have their advantages. 

For example, the smallest travel trailer toy hauler on our list, the Happier Camper HC1, boasts a fiberglass double hull. This makes it both extremely lightweight and waterproof. Not only that, but the floorplan flexibility in this small toy hauler travel trailer is second to none.

Other travel trailer toy haulers, like the Glacier Ice House 16DR, have a very specialized purpose. The insulation and furnace BTU capacity might not matter so much in a regular toy hauler but in a fish house toy hauler, the quality of those factors is very important.

If you have a large family, you might be especially concerned with sleeping accommodations. You will be looking for a travel trailer toy hauler that uses its interior space efficiently. The KZ Sportster might be the best quality travel trailer toy hauler for you because of the sleeping options.

Another consideration when choosing the best quality toy hauler travel trailer for you is weight. Lightweight campers have excellent benefits when it comes to towing and fuel efficiency. Quality by this definition will mean an aluminum or fiberglass framed camper.

Perhaps you want to be able to transport multiple recreational vehicles. Carrying capacity, axle strength, and garage space might be the quality benchmark you choose to use.

Once you determine what features are most important to you, the best quality travel trailer toy hauler for your needs will quickly emerge.

Final Words About Travel Trailer Toy Haulers

The 10 Terrific Travel Trailer Toy Haulers We Love

Published on July 26th, 2023 by Rene Agredano This post was updated on June 10th, 2024

Ready to pack more fun into your RV adventures? The best travel trailer toy haulers can help you do it. They’re all terrific. Some are ultralight, some are ultra big, but all let you bring along your favorite outdoor toys. Maybe you’ll haul an ATV for off-road escapades, a dirt bike for adrenaline-rush rides, or bicycles for serene pedals around the campsite. When you carry your outdoor gear along for the ride, the options for things to do while camping are practically endless. 

New to the toy hauler lifestyle? Here are a few quick facts about toy hauler RVs, followed by a short list of 2023’s best travel trailer toy haulers for SUVs and trucks.

Travel Trailer Toy Hauler Basics

You’ll find many similarities between travel trailers and toy haulers. But toy haulers differ because they have a comfortable and spacious cargo area for gear. Toy haulers also have a loading ramp to help get motorcycles and heavy outdoor gear inside. Manufacturers make a variety of toy haulers in different RV classes , such as a toy hauler motorhome, toy hauler fifth wheel, and toy hauler travel trailers.

Any class of toy hauler RVs are awesome. They are always a perfect match for adventure-seeking families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone whose heart skips a beat at the mention of a ride, paddle, or other rugged backcountry day trip. Toy haulers give you the luxury of spontaneously deciding to hit biking trails or go kayaking. When you always have your favorite gear along, your choices for RVing fun are practically endless.

Do Toy Haulers Cost More?

Like other RV varieties, travel trailer toy hauler prices vary dramatically in price. You’re looking at anywhere from $37,000 for a basic model, while high-end versions can sail past the $80,000 mark. This higher overall cost compared to conventional travel trailers reflects the added functionality that toy hauler RVs bring to your travels.

What’s the Best Toy Hauler Tow Vehicle?

We hate to dissapoint you, but this question depends on too many factors to say there is one “best toy hauler tow vehicle.” That’s because the best toy hauler tow vehicle is the one that has a towing capacity (GVWR) which is perfectly paired with the weight of your preferred toy hauler.

How much your car, truck or other vehicle can tow depends on the type of vehicle and the towing options on the car or truck.   A general rule of thumb: for a front wheel drive car or small SUV is 1500 pounds a mid-size all-wheel drive SUV or pickup 3000 pounds a full size SUV or half-ton pickup truck 5000 pounds or more.   The weight limits can vary by large margins depending on how the car or truck is equipped and it is up to you to confirm the limits for your car or truck.

More Travel Trailer Toy Hauler Specifications to Consider

It’s fun to look at the many different toy hauler floor plans available. Like any RV, the layout is an important consideration when deciding what rig is best for you. And when it comes to a travel trailer toy hauler layout, you also need to evaluate the balance between living and cargo space. Is there enough of each to meet your needs? What about the amenities?

The floor plan, appliances, and sleeping quarters are all worth considering in any RV. But safety considerations are even more critical when evaluating the best travel trailer toy haulers for your camping needs. Take a close look at these specifications before deciding on a model:

Cargo Carrying Capacity

The cargo carrying capacity is an important number. It’s the maximum weight that a travel trailer toy hauler can safely carry when it’s being towed. This figure includes the combined weight of all holding tank fluids, propane, inside and outside gear, food, etc. If you exceed a toy hauler’s cargo carrying capacity, your safety is at risk.

Ramp Door Rating

This refers to the maximum weight the ramp door can handle when loading and unloading toys, such as an ATV, dirtbike, or other heavy equipment. Ramp doors are designed to withstand a certain weight load. Exceeding it can lead to damage or even failure of the ramp, posing potential risks to both people and the equipment. You must know know the weight of your toys to ensure that they’re within the ramp door rating of the toy hauler you’re considering. Finding this rating figure requires deep digging into specification sheets, as most manufacturers don’t highlight it.

Tie-Down Points

Look around a toy hauler and evaluate the number, location, and type of tie-down points for your gear. Tie-downs keep your gear safe while your toy hauler is moving. They prevent damage to the RV, and your equipment. And tie-downs also prevent gear from shifting around, which causes balance issues that can affect the toy hauler’s handling on the road. Any toy hauler should have conveniently located, well-anchored, and plentiful tie-down points for your gear. Like ramp door ratings, you will need to research tie down points to find out this information.

Now that you’re more familiar with travel trailer toy hauler basics, let’s get into the fun part: the best toy haulers of 2023! Here are some of our favorite models now showing at a dealer near you.

ALL ABOUT TOY HAULERS

Available as Class A, Class C, travel trailers, or fifth wheels, toy haulers give you a place to live and a place for your toys, including dirt bikes, motorcycles, ATVs, kayaks, and more. Many people think of toy haulers as the wild-child of the RV world. While the toy haulers originated as a mobile man-cave, complete with diamond-plated walls, this popular RV type has evolved into much more. Today, you might want to think of toy haulers as open-concept living spaces with multi-purpose utility.

Specifications Definitions

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) – is the maximum permissible weight, including cargo, fluids, optional equipment and accessories that can be safely supported by a combination of all axles.

UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight)* - is the typical weight of the unit as manufactured at the factory. It includes all weight at the unit’s axle(s) and tongue or pin and LP Gas. The UVW does not include cargo, fresh potable water, additional optional equipment or dealer installed accessories. *Estimated Average based on standard build optional equipment.

CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity)** - is the amount of weight available for fresh potable water, cargo, additional optional equipment and accessories. CCC is equal to GVWR minus UVW. Available CCC should accommodate fresh potable water (8.3 lbs per gallon). Before filling the fresh water tank, empty the black and gray tanks to provide for more cargo capacity. **Estimated Average based on standard build optional equipment.

Each Forest River RV is weighed at the manufacturing facility prior to shipping. A label identifying the unloaded vehicle weight of the actual unit and the cargo carrying capacity is applied to every Forest River RV prior to leaving our facilities.

The load capacity of your unit is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading your unit.
