If you're someone who loves driving out to the woods or the lake and taking your toys for a spin, you need a toy hauler camper. Toy haulers are also great for people or families who need extra space in their RV—like a work-remote office, a kid's playroom, or something else.

If you're considering getting a toy hauler, come down to RV's Northwest for a look at our wide selection! If you're still trying to decide, read on to find out everything there is to know about this versatile RV type.

What Is a 5th Wheel Toy Hauler?

A toy hauler is a class of RV that allows you to store toys—such as jet skis, four-wheelers, motorcycles, bicycles, and the like—inside the rig itself. Also called an RV with a garage, toy haulers come in a number of styles, from small bumper pull trailers to large fifth wheelers with room to store multiple off-road vehicles.

Types of Toy Haulers

Motorhome toy haulers

Class A toy haulers and Class C toy haulers (also called "Super C") are similar to their non-toy-hauling counterparts, but with integrated garages that take up some of the rear living space. As a result, you'll have a bit less space for you and yours, but they can still be livable.

Toy hauler travel trailer

Also known as bumper pull toy haulers, can range from short trailers that are basically just storage for your toys, to extravagant 38-foot rigs with full living spaces. Usually, to utilize the space in the trailer when camping you'll need to unload the toys—that's how small they are.

Fifth wheel toy hauler

If you want the best of both worlds—an RV that you can live in, and a garage for your toys—a fifth wheel is an excellent choice. Unlike a travel trailer toy hauler, a fifth wheel often has the garage area separated from the living space by a wall.
