5th Wheel Toy Hauler Tips

There are many people who choose to travel across the country in their 5th wheel toy hauler. This type of recreational vehicle is perfect for both a summer vacation and winter vacation. A 5th wheel toy hauler vacation can be fun for everyone in your RV party, and you will find that this type of recreational vehicle vacation is easy to plan.

Three Tips to Planning a 5th Wheel Toy Hauler Vacation

The first thing you should think about as you plan your vacation with your 5th wheel toy hauler is the time of year that you will be traveling during. Figure out which season fits your 5th wheel toy hauler needs the best. You will be packing the 5th wheel travel trailer according to the time that you will be traveling, whether during the summer months or the winter months. If you will be traveling with your 5th wheel toy hauler during the summer months, you may think about hauling wave runners, water skis, bicycles, etc. If you travel over the winter months with your 5th wheel toy hauler, think about snow boards, snow mobiles, and skis. You will pack accordingly.

After you know when you will travel, you should decide the route you should take. Look at different maps that have routes listed on them, especially ones that site RV camp sites on the way. It is necessary that you plan your trip where you can park your fifth wheel in ample space. Ask the camp ground where you plan on staying if they have space for your size of trailer (typically 60 x 36 feet). When you speak to various campsites, ask them about their RV amenities. See if there are the necessary hook ups for your fifth wheel camper, such as electric and water. You may also ask about wireless internet accessibility. Do this ahead of time so that you will be prepared for your time on the road.

You should also think about those who will be traveling with you during your motor home vacation. For example, if you will have children with you, ask the campgrounds if they have any playgrounds or kid friendly amenities for you to enjoy while you stay there.

Camping With Other 5th Wheel Toy Haulers

Also, if you will be RVing with several motor homes or 5th wheel toy haulers, then check campgrounds to see if they have a group rate available. This way you and your RV companions can all park and camp near one another. Also, think about the near proximity of the campsite to your main reason to travel, meaning near the ski slope or lake front. Find out nearby restaurants, and even make reservations ahead of time to ease the burden once you arrive.

By taking head to these three easy steps, you will be sure to have a well planned RV vacation. You will have time to enjoy yourself once you arrive and while you drive because you did the due diligence prior to leaving. Have fun!

Travel Trailers

Small Campers

Travel trailers or small campers go back as far as the early 1920s. The people that used them were referred to as “Tin Can Tourists”. Sometime later these travel trailers became more livable and by the 1930s and 40s they got a new designation “House Trailer”. But it wasn’t until the 1950s and 60s that there seem to be a split in the industry. This created two types, the Recreational Vehicle or better known as the “RV” industry and the Mobil Home industry. In this day and age travel trailer get the classification as a type of RV along with motorhomes, fifth wheel trailers, pop-up camper trailers and truck campers.

The small campers and travel trailers along with the pop-ups are built with touring in mind. They are usually less than 18 feet long and include modest amenities. You will find they are usually less than 3000 lbs and lightweight by design. They are made to be able to set up for use quickly and can be towed by most full size cars and light trucks.

The pop-ups fall into a lighter category weighing in at less than 700 lbs. The SUVs and some of the smaller economy cars are able to tow them without any problems. You can even find some are light enough to be towed by motorcycles.

Next in class is the mid-range travel trailers 18 to 25 fl in length and can go 5000 lbs or more. They are towed by the larger heaver duty pickup trucks and SUVs. You will find plenty of amenities and all the comforts of home included in this class of RV.

Even larger in class are the 25 to 40 foot long models that are decked out like a luxury condominium. The can be 12,000 lbs or more and require special towing vehicles. When the towing vehicle goes over 10,000 lbs a class A driver’s license is required.

All classes of the travel trailer can come in a “Toy Box” version of Toy Hauler. They are broken up into living areas and the garage half for the toys. They include a strong folding ramp in the rear for access to load race cars, ATVs and personal water craft. Fully self contained with generators for power for lighting, cooling and cooking.

Today you will see a lot of innovations with the hybrid travel trailer. They come with the hard sided trailers and the features of a pop-up trailer. These hybrids big advantage is the weight to space ratio, but the disadvantage are the lack of insulation that makes a condensation and heating problem in some climates.

RVs & Motor Homes

Captain RV Dave — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:09:04 +0000

To have your own Recreation Vehicle or motor home is the experience of a lifetime. It is kind of like cursing or traveling with your home as you explore the different exciting places in the good old USA.

The Two Recreation Vehicle Categories

They are the towable variety and the motorized. In the towable Recreational Vehicle category are travel trailers, and the small campers fit in this category also. Then what they call a fifth wheel towed by a heavy duty truck in the ¾ ton and up class of truck. We have the more recent addition to the line-up of RVs is what they now call the Toy Hauler. What makes them nice to have is not only do they have sleeping and living quarters you also have room to carry your Toys.

You say what Toys? You know Toys our ATVs, Motorcycles, and many other things for hunting or fishing and other sports. The Toy Hauler has great appeal because it can be towed by most pickups. Once you have set up your camp you have the option of being able to separate the pickup to make short trips away from camp.

The Motorized Category

A Recreational Vehicle in the motorized category is a motor home and they come in 3 different Classes. Class A motor homes can be gas or diesel powered. They like to call the motor homes with diesel power and Diesel Pushers. The Diesel Pushers are found in the more luxurious and larger Recreational Vehicles.

Then we have the Class B motor homes that fall into the category of Vans and conversions. They are also fully self-contained with sleeping accommodations just much smaller versions of the motor home.

The Class C motor home is a little different because it is built on a truck chassis. Called a mini-motor home sometimes, it is a scaled- down version of the larger motor homes and comes with much lower prices. This Class RV is built on a standard automotive manufactured van frame in the ¾ to 1 ton class. You can find some with lighter duty chassis but they keep the standard attached cab section.

RVs are Custom Designed

High Quality craftsmanship goes into each Recreational Vehicles many are custom designed to meet the new owners taste.
