Toy Haulers for Rent

RVs with a rear garage and ramp door for your gear.

A toy hauler is an RV with a garage in the back and a ramp door for loading ATVs, dirt bikes, bikes or kayaks. Many have fold-down beds or seating in the garage, so the space doubles as living area once the toys are out.

They come as travel trailers, fifth wheels and some motorhomes, so towing needs vary. Check the cargo weight rating against what you plan to load, and check trail rules for off-highway vehicles before you go.

A garage you can live in

A toy hauler has a garage at the back with a ramp door that folds down, so you can roll in dirt bikes, ATVs, bikes or gear. When the toys are out, many garages convert into living or sleeping space with fold-down beds or seating.

Toy haulers come as travel trailers, fifth wheels and some motorhomes. Many fifth-wheel toy haulers are large and heavy, especially with toys loaded.

Weight and loading

Loading the garage moves weight to the rear of the trailer, which changes tongue or pin weight and how the trailer tows. Check the trailer's cargo capacity, secure everything with tie-downs, and recheck your tow vehicle's ratings with the toys inside.

Fuel stations on many toy haulers let you fill the toys from an onboard tank. Ask the owner how it works.

Toy hauler questions

Straight answers before you book. Always check the specific RV's weights and your vehicle's ratings.

What fits in a toy hauler garage?
Commonly dirt bikes, ATVs, mountain bikes, kayaks and gear. Garage length, ramp weight rating and cargo capacity vary, so check the listing before you load.
Does loading toys change how it tows?
Yes. Weight in the rear garage changes tongue or pin weight and handling. Load heavy items according to the owner's guidance and stay within the trailer's cargo capacity.
What tow vehicle do I need?
It depends on the size. Larger fifth-wheel toy haulers usually need a three-quarter-ton or one-ton pickup. Compare loaded weights, including toys, with your truck's ratings.
Can the garage be used for sleeping?
In many models, yes: fold-down beds or seating convert the garage into living space once the toys are out.
Can passengers ride in a toy hauler while towing?
No. Everyone rides in the tow vehicle.
