Pro: Toy Haulers Are Versatile

Toy haulers come with a cargo bay garage. This expansive space can accommodate a wide range of items, from golf carts to ATVs. All of that space can be used in many different ways.

For example, powersports enthusiasts can bring their vehicles along on the adventure. After all, many RV campgrounds are near off-road riding areas.

Or maybe you are traveling to a big event, such as an antiques festival. Load up all of your found treasures into the storage space and safely bring them back home.

You can even use the extra space to pack non-essential camping supplies that make your trip better.

These are just a few of the many potential uses of a toy hauler.

Con: There is Often Reduced Living Space

A camper can only be so large. The addition of a spacious garage often comes at the cost of some amount of living space. The living room, for example, may be smaller than you would find on other types of campers. This can be less-than-ideal for large groups of travelers or those who prefer more spacious rooms to relax in.

Pro: Toy Haulers Offer Secure Storage

The cargo bay area is a fully enclosed space. Anything you place inside will be protected against poor weather, theft, or even from falling onto the highway. This is a great alternative to trying to haul cargo on an open bed trailer, especially if your items are expensive or hard-to-replace.

Con: You'll Need a Large Tow Vehicle

Toy haulers are large and heavy, which means they require a more powerful tow vehicle. If you only have a small SUV, you may not be able to find a compatible toy hauler.

Pro: Toy Haulers Offer Impressive Comfort

Most toy haulers are built to offer more than the basics. These RVs can be packed full of features that lead to a more enjoyable vacation. This can include anything from a fireplace to multiple entertainment systems. The spaciousness found on toy haulers leaves plenty of room for amenities.
