A toy hauler is basically a travel trailer RV that has a large opening and a ramp door in the rear. It can generally be described as a cross between a cargo trailer, otherwise known as an open-box trailer and a travel trailer. Majority of the toy hauler’s front constitutes of the living quarters, bathroom, bedroom and kitchen, while the rear part is often the designated cargo area.
Initially, toy haulers existed as travel trailers that had a ramp door in the rear. As time went by, toy haulers became more distinct by mostly targeting the off-highway group of consumers while offering majority of the conveniences offered by other RVs. Some of the prominent features of Toy Haulers in Des Moines include:
- Durability: because toy haulers will often carry such cargo that is intended for off-road, they are built with durable material that enables them to handle bumpy roads, remote camping, and washes. They also have ample ground clearance that enables them to avoid scraping the ground as well as bottoming up. The cabinets are also often durable to allow them withstand the bumps while the chassis and axles are rated higher in order to handle the often humongous sizes of cargo that they carry.
- The gear inside the toy hauler is designed in such a way that allows you to exceed the weight by several thousand pounds. While determining whether the trailer can tow safely, you should not only consider the dry weight of the trailer, but also the weight of the toys and comfort enhancing items that have been added to the trailer. Such items include refrigerators, microwaves and queen beds among others.
- Self-contained: Toy haulers will often have huge fresh water tanks on board. These are especially beneficial for those campers preferring to take their toys off the paved roads and are compelled to pack sufficient water for their entire vacation.
- Collapsible furniture: Most toy haulers have such rear beds, tables and couches that can either be folded up against the wall or disappear up the ceiling, creating more cargo space for the toys.
