Looking to get a 5th wheel toyhauler...what brand is better?

[josh31]

I am looking to get a toy hualer in the next few months. I haven't been around them too much and am not for sure what brand is better. I am leaning towards a Weekend Warrior. I need one with at least 18 ft of garage area so I can haul 4 Harley's. So i'm thinking I am going to need at least a 36 to 40 footer. What do you guys suggest to get? Just looking for opinions.

5th wheel is nice but I personally like a gooseneck better. The 5th wheel just takes up to much room in the back of a truck.

To get an 18' garage I had to get a 40' 5th wheel. That was the smallest trailer I could find with that much garage. Mine is a work and play and it has been pretty good so far, but I have only had it since April. The 5th wheel does take up a lot of room, but mine is very easy to get in and out of the truck bed, and it is also pretty easy to hook up the trailer.

If you just traded those Harley's in for Honda's you wouldn't have to put them on a trailer to make it where you're going :devil:

Sorry man, I couldn't resist :D

Just find a pull through that does not have a seperate garage and you can get a much smaller trailer, even a bumper pull.

I got a Honda already, too bad it sits around more than my Harley:(

I dun got a gooseneck ball in my truck and have pulled several trailers with it and I do like it. I'm not gonna pass up a toyhauler cuz it don't got the right kinda hitch. I ain't wanting a separte garage, I know that takes up room. A pull thru with a slide out or 2 what I'm looking for. Mostly for camping at NASCAR races and going camping and riding at different riding spots.

looks like you and I have something in common. I two bought an enclosed to haul, street bikes and quads. I started out with and 18ft. Works great but I didn't like unloading the quads or bikes everytime we got ready to go to bed. So I bought a slide in. It works great for me and I still use my bumper pull trailer. The slide in works great if I'm gonna haul quads, bikes or even our horses.

Yea we got same situation. I got a 20 ft enclosed trailer that is very nice on inside (factory workbench and cabinets in front and aluminum tread plate on floor) I raced the nationals from '02 til '05 then started getting too busy to continue with mx so I ran a few harescrambles here and there. Started using my trailer for a camper/toyhauler more. I'm gonna sell it after next month and look harder at toyhaulers. Seems the ones that I find on the net that I like and are in my price range are mostly in California. I'm in Indiana and that is a bit of a haul to go get a toyhauler.

Thanks SMR! I checked it out, he also got it posted on here too. I'm wanting more of a camper tho. May have a buddy go in with me on it and he has a family of 5 and would wanna take it camping sometimes too. Very nice rig tho! Wish I'd had that when I was running all the GNC's! :D
