At AllBrand Caravan Services, we see all sorts of caravans rolling through our doors and the Toy Hauler in our feature image prompted this blog because a toy hauler is the best of both worlds, the comfort of your caravan and ample storage for your toys: but is a toy hauler right for you?
But one type that’s sure to pique the interest of any adventure enthusiast is the toy hauler caravan.
So, what exactly is a toy hauler?
Imagine a caravan with a twist. Instead of just the usual living quarters, a toy hauler features a dedicated cargo space at the rear, accessible by a ramp. This transformable area lets you bring along your favourite toys – motorbikes, dirt bikes, jet skis, mountain bikes – you name it!
Pros of Toy Haulers:
- Unmatched Versatility: Toy haulers are the ultimate combo for those who love both camping and outdoor activities. Enjoy the comfort of a caravan, then unload your toys and hit the trails for a day of adventure.
- Protection for Your Gear: No more worrying about leaving your expensive toys exposed to the elements. The secure cargo area keeps them safe and sound while you travel.
- Family Fun: Toy haulers cater to the whole family. Parents can relax in the caravan, while the kids have a blast exploring on their bikes or motos. It’s an excellent way to create lasting memories together. It is important to note that when the storage area isn’t being used for storage it can be set up with bunks and/or become a living area.
Cons to Consider:
- Size and Weight: Toy haulers tend to be larger and heavier than regular caravans once loaded. This can affect towing capacity and fuel efficiency. Make sure your tow vehicle is up to the job and you are across your weights.
- Storage: When the toys are loaded, storage space inside the caravan might be limited. Clever packing and utilising additional storage options may be necessary.
- Cost: Toy haulers typically come with a higher price tag compared to regular caravans.
