What can make your camping experience better? Bringing your toys with you, of course! It would be great to take your mountain bike for off-road cycling where our 4-wheeled vehicles cannot go. It would be amazing to explore more of the surroundings using your ATV or catch the wave using your boat or kayak.
But when you’re bringing a travel trailer with you, the usual advice is to pack light so that you won’t have any problem when towing. But the great news is that there are toy haulers which were built specifically for you to be able to transport your outdoor sports gear safely and securely wherever you plan to go camping.
When it comes to toy haulers, Winnebago has a special lineup to meet that demand. Their Spyder toy haulers are available in fifth wheel and travel trailer models that both offer sufficient space for those toys for the big toys while still giving travelers the trademark residential comforts on the road which Winnebago is known more.

Benefits of Toy Haulers
Just in case you’re in the fence about getting a toy hauler, we’ve enumerated here the advantages of traveling with this towable RV.
Take note that a toy hauler isn’t just for those who want to bring their toys with them. There are other benefits to this travel trailer that more people have come to appreciate.
Large Garage Space
Some RVs will give you an exterior storage space that can probably fit your big toys but you’ll have to stash them along with your other camping equipment and travel essentials.
What toy haulers give you is a designated garage space for your precious outdoor sports gear so that there’s a specific place for them in your trailer where you can put them safely and securely. The enclosed garage will protect your toys from the elements.
They also usually come with a wide opening and ramp to make it easier for you to load and unload your man toys.
Flexible Space
The floorplans of these toy haulers are very flexible. You can make use of the garage space when you’ve reached your destination and convert it to a bedroom, dining area, office, or whatever purpose you see fit. Some turn the ramp to a party deck and outdoor entertainment area.
Enjoy the Outdoors
The main advantage of a toy hauler is that you get to bring your outdoor sports gear with you – from ATVs to kayaks and mountain bikes and many more. This means you can have the adventure of a lifetime. Why rent these gears at your camping destination when you already have your own, right? It’s just a matter of bringing them with you.
Things to Consider when Buying a Toy Hauler
As we’ve always said, there’s a specific type of RV that’ll suit your travel lifestyle. If bringing your outdoor sports gears is important for you, then the toy hauler may be the appropriate travel trailer for you. But before you make that purchase, here are some important factors that you have to really think about.
Dimensions And Weight
What types of equipment or vehicle do you want to load inside the toy hauler? How many sports gears do you always carry with you? How long are they and how much do they weigh?
Check their dimensions and weight with those of the toy hauler that you’re planning to buy. Will they fit inside? Does your towing vehicle have the capacity to carry that load together with the other furniture and facilities in the travel trailer?
Where Will You Take Your Toys?
What kind of terrain will you be driving on? There are toy haulers that have extreme off-road packages that you can look into so that you’ll be able to traverse those roads without any difficulty.
You should also be mindful of the length of the toy hauler as there are some campgrounds that have limitations when it comes to the length of the RV.
Check For Tie-Downs And Brakes
The tie-downs are essential in ensuring that your precious toys are kept secure while in transit. They won’t bump into each other and with your other travel stuff.
If you’re carrying a heavy load, you might also want to consider having electric brakes on your toy hauler to make towing safer and easier.
Durability
Of course, you’ve got to check the craftmanship and quality of construction materials used. They should be lightweight but durable. They must be able to do well against different terrains, weather conditions, and other elements so that you can get your money’s worth.
Collapsible Furniture
As mentioned earlier, the garage space in your toy hauler can be turned into a living area, bedroom, or dining spot. As such, you would need collapsible furniture that can give way to your garage when you’re in transit and you can easily set up when you’re at camp. This will ensure that you’re able to maximize the space that you have.
Wrap Up
Like other major purchases, you need to really think hard before you buy a toy hauler. It is a great RV for those who love to bring their toys on the road. No doubt, this will enhance their camping experience as they can explore the great outdoors even better. But of course, they also need to stay in a comfortable camper where they can rest after every exhilarating adventure.
And when it comes to the best toy haulers, this list of the best Winnebago Spyder fifth wheels and travel trailers is a good place to lead you to that perfect RV that’ll satisfy your appetite for adventure and longing for comfort while you’re on the road.
