no way, there are 2 of them around me im looking into, the 29fbsrv. one is an 05 the other an 06. i like the bunk above the garage. i think i could pick one of them up for around 14......does that sounds about right to you Dave?

 

I too think the toyhaulers are way to much extra $$$. My dad is looking at trailers and I like to dream so I go along What I don't get is if a regular 5th wheel is strong enough to tow a boat for example the frame cant be that weak!! A 40 foot toy hauler should be cheaper then a regular 5th wheel.

 

if you can get that for 14 grand that would be a awesome deal. we bought a 08 29frsrv and love it.

 

Yep, I agree. They have all the features I need, without paying for luxury upgrades.
My only problem is I think the doorway to the back is 5' 10" and I'm 5' 10 1/2"

Ramrodd, the forces towing are different than carrying. I can tow 12,000 lbs with my truck, but I can't carry 12,000 lbs in the bed. Toyhauler are built and balanced to carry extra weight in the back, mine is rated at 2,000 lbs in the back.

 

on thing nice about not having a seperate garage is that you can use the whole thing as living area if your not hauling toys. I haul kayaks, quads, motorcycles and I have a front bedroom. Where I can see a closed off garage would be nice at times...I wouldn't want to be limited by the smaller smace. It would be smaller hauling area and living area.

I can move my toys around also to shift weight as necessary. If you have a rear garage your more limited with where you can load your axles..

I am sure both have advantages and disadvantages. Just putting in a bit on the other side.

 

I agree with this, but I can't stand the fold up furniture. But having all that cargo area for living space when unloaded is great.

 

Yeah, I had a Mitchell 'Fish Hut' on one of my trucks for a LONG time and I'd catch the top of the door jamb at least 2 or 3 times a year .... always when I was going out ..... finally hung a little yellow bathtub duck from the ceiling so it was at the same level as the door frame .... even when I forgot to 'DUCK' the little duck softened the blow a bit

 

The garage models are restricting at times but you don't have to live with the stuff your carrying either. It all depends on what you use them for. Guys with long buggys can't have the garage types and at times can't have one with slide outs. Somebody said that toy haulers aren't as nice as regular TT's. Well I'm not so sure about that.
Here's $55K worth............and about $100K for the total rig with all the extra goodies.


and my last one.......TH was $25K

 

Joe, where was the 2nd pic taken?

 

Hey Paul, That was from the weekend I hit my truck bed in Casitas.

 

I thought it looked familiar, and now I know why!

 

what model weekend warrior did you have? did you like it? how was it quality wise?

 

checkster, We had a FS2300 07' model. It was OK and we had fun in it. But I can tell you I wouldn't buy anything from WW again. Their service sucks, their warranty approval sucks if you don't live by them, and they are NOT made all that good. I repaired alot of things on mine myself because I didn't want to go through the hassle of dealing with them and I didn't want my trailer coming back worse than it went in. Hey don't get me wrong they are a OK toyhauler. There's just a whole lot better out there if you go look in the right places. I was sucked in by the neat looking graphics and the billet interior, I thought I had the killer rolling garage............rite up to the part where it started to fall apart.
Good Luck in your decision.

 

Here is mine, got it used once for about $40K. Still have 1.5 years left on the warranty. I live in mine as I am a traveling Superintendent and yes I do have a home. Hotels just don't cut it. What kind of MPG's are you guys getting hauling these giants?

 

That's a nice rig, Busajohn. I'd take a Recon in a heartbeat. Finding one used is difficult, also. Owners of Jaycos seem to hang on to their trailers forever.
