A Complete Guide to Toy Haulers
Posted on: 18 September 2018
One of the most significant transportation challenges people face is how to carry their motorbikes, ATVs and other recreational equipment in their trailers. More often than not, they end up leaving them behind or using another vehicle to transport them. A toy hauler is a trailer meant to overcome these challenges. It has a section where you can load your luggage and a ramp door at its rear to ensure that you have an easy time loading.
Below are several features of the toy hauler.
The toy hauler is self-contained. You should expect all the luxuries of a caravan such as water, electricity, sanitary facilities, a kitchen and a living area.
The toy hauler is durable. Manufacturers are aware that users will often use rough roads to access campsites and other recreational facilities. As such, the hauler has a good ground clearance and suspension to handle off-road conditions. The internal fittings are solidly fitted so they do not come off when driving in bad roads.
The toy hauler is spacious. The toy hauler is designed such that the furniture can be collapsed to create more room for your luggage.
If you are considering to get a toy hauler, below are some considerations you should make.
Use: Toy haulers come in various sizes and designs. Choose a size that is appropriate for your toys. For instance, a small hauler is good for a dirt bike but may be too small for an ATV.
Towing vehicle: You must have an appropriate vehicle to tow the hauler. Consult with your mechanic on whether your car can haul the toy hauler's weight.
Storage: Since you will not be using the toy hauler every time, you should secure some space to park it. The location must be safe and convenient. Besides, ensure that the hauler is not exposed to harsh weather.
Costs: You must have a budget for the toy hauler. Visit a few dealers and inquire about their pricing. Ask for a price cut, and if the price is within your budget, purchase the hauler.
Inspection: Before purchasing the hauler, inspect it to ensure it is safe to use. The hitch must be in good condition. The tyres, lights and brakes should be fully functional. Inspect the body and underneath for any rust.
Toy haulers are perfect for carrying equipment as well as providing living quarters during recreational trips. When buying a toy hauler, determine its intended use, availability of a towing vehicle, storage facility and its cost. Inspect the haulier to ensure that it is in excellent condition.
