I have the 36d and we absolutely love it, 13' pad to put 4 atv's in, gas tank, 1/2 bath can't go wrong for the guests or kids. Once the rigs are out we put a area rug down and shut the glass door and on a rainy day let the kids play in the back. Solid unit for the money and zero issues. Great video keep them coming.
I actually really like this toy hauler! I bought a 38 foot country coach that was $140,000 and then a 24 foot box trailer for my razor or sandrail and all the dirt bikes. 5th wheels don’t really suit me but I really like this setup!
Fuel tank is for generator also. What a great price and 2 ac units. And E rated tires. Oil gas not a a problem smell.. Haulers have flow through side vents and everything is efi now. Since I double tow, I put the gas cans on the trailer for the toys. One could put a rear hitch rack and carry more gas. Most of the fuel stations don't hold a lot of fuel, especially if you use your generator. We still carry a Honda 2000 also since it sips fuel (boondock) and we can run heater off it tv etc. Again if we hadn't just put much $$ in our whole rig I would be off to grab that beast.
Same exact floorplan as my Cherokee Wolfpack 325pack13 with an extra third axle, bed room slide and a ladder. You can remove that rear wall in the basement to get some extra room as well.
I would never own a RV that has an inaccessible fridge with the slides in. We have a triple slide toyhauler with an island in the kitchen but it does not block the fridge. We pull over for quick meals and breaks while travelling. Having to put out a slide would suck.
NICE rig. We considered a 5th wheel toy hauler as a potential full time rig with the garage being my bed room and Lady friend up front. The deal breaker is the length as we're going to cross country and too many camp sites are too small.
Snowflake Melter haha nope! I dreamt of it for years. I got an awesome used truck and a used Keystone Raptor and they have been amazing. Now I dream of an HDT. A Volvo 780 and a bigger toy hauler to pull with it! The dreams are great, but they never stop! Haha
Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again to save us from eternal judgement and give us eternal life if we believe Him. Only God can save us and freely give us new life inside forever
Thanks for the review.. we ordered a 2019 that should be here in about 2 weeks.. we like it because it will fit a 4 seat rzr no problem.. we wanted a garage model because if traveling, you don't have to unload if staying the night.. thanks again for the great review..
Not bad for the price. Im looking to full time RV in a 44ft end of this year. Most likely a used (2016-2017) Heartland. As i have walked through many brands, Heartland seems to have best quality and style for me.
I really like this video, however i had a few small issues that the retailer should have realized about presentation. The video was taken on a dark overcast day making the video dark. The trailer behind the XLR boost prevented the lowering of the loading ramp, preventing a clear view of the garage. It was too dark and grainy. The rear ramp converting to a sitting area is a big feature of toy haulers. Once again thank you for providing clear information on RV pricing. This kind of information is invaluable and makes clear the discounts that should be expected in the retail pricing. I don't suppose you and the retailer would be willing to do a re-do? I certainly am interested. I like your videos, keep up the good work.
I really like this unit. The only thing I don't like is that loft area incringing on the space in the garage. Great price for a massive rig, though. I need a unit with a garage that will fit a Kawasaki Mule, and a Kawasaki KLX250 dual sport bike. Keep On Truckin'
As long as you don't store your toys in your toy HAULER or carry loose fuel ( ours has a exterior fuel pump) and remember to drain the carbs if they are not EFI and have properly running machines you should never have fuel smells.
Did I miss the size of the garage area. I would need a 12' long and 8' tall to fit my toy But I love this design and the fact it's got vinyl floors through out other than master bedroom
Stacy Reid the height of your toy is exactly why this has the split seat/bed mounted to the wall rather than raised up. To give you more height for the taller UTVs. This might fit nicely for you.
If possible, I recommend bringing your UTV to the trailer before you fall in love with it. Tell them you want to put it inside before you buy it. I suspect most would let you. I bought my Keystone Raptor before I got my RZR 4. I had to buy the 900 when I wanted the 1000. The Raptor only has a 12’ garage, and the 1000 is 12’ 3” long. So I went with the 11’6” 900. Now I had to buy my trailer in a hurry but had I known, and had the time, I would have looked longer for a 14’ garage.
Pretty soon I'll be looking at used trailers to live in full time for work. I need to be able to take a good size tool box with me. Would a fifth wheel toy hauler or bumper pull normal be better for full time? And what are things to look for when looking at a used trailer?
you should look at voltage or voltage v series both are by dutchman rv i personally own a voltage v series model 3605 if you go to a wholesale dealer you can get one for about 66,000 but they retail/msrp is 101,000
Much nicer living quarters than my '38 forester river but not near as much hauling room or capacity. Mine is only for 2 people though so far us it works. Original price as it is 42,000, I paid 21,000 used but like New with turn key amenities. Nice when you can still access things when you can't push the slide out. Nice large bathroom, though I still like a wet bath area. Many won't but I do.
I really like these reviews, we had a class A Monaco,older but nice. We are looking at fifth wheels now. I am wondering if you will be reviewing any forward kitchen or living room. Thanks for your great info.
Denise Wilkes I can’t do a washer in the garage. I want to put my toys in there, and I can stand it when they take up my precious little garage space for that. (Personally) Why do you prefer it back there? What is the perk of it? Mind I have a 12’ razor 4 that I put in mine, so I need the space. I am also against the door opening into the garage. Mine does that and I can’t get in when my toy is in there. I have to go outside and in the side door. Just a pet peeve I guess.
also how many toy haulers have the toy that goes under the bed that would be in the back of the trailer. so little different than the ones with the big ramp in the back
I wish they would dump the wall bench leave the platform in the garage optional if I am going to bring people to sleep in the garage we would probably just do inflatable bed and folding chairs... having said that the loft would be super nice to have some tools and maybe a air compressor just reverse the opening to face the garage.
I have owned two toy haulers and I have never had gas smell. If you are maintaining your units this is a non issue. My question is why don't they make a garage that will hold two RZRs? If you have small atvs or motorcycles that would be ok to have that small of a garage. This unit just makes you double pull so that you can take your multiple units out to play.
Yeah, I've double towed since 1989. I currently have a 31' 5th wheel, but have doubled behind hitch travel trailers. Big Campers with Big trucks can handle everything you need... even enclosed trailer behind camper. I use a 10' aluminum most of the time (sxs cars) and use an 18' for places like Moab where you have to tow to trail heads. With aluminum my wife and I can move around the trailers to get door access. Really not a problem. I run Trail sxs's so I access all the restricted 50" trails as well as the open country and they fit on said trailers very easily. (Wife has her own unit) You can get units to hold everything $$$. IE: Outfitted cargo trailers. Even 2 story with a lift. Pay the bucks $$ and you can get anything you need.
I'm pretty sure most states allow you to pull behind a fifth wheel. You may need an enhanced licenses for the length / weight issues. But you can do it.
dedalliance1 Better check with the states that you plan to travel through. PA, for one, doesn't allow it. But, I agree, that if you have a CDL with a "doubles/triples" endorsement, you should be able to do it.
Most states allow for a double tow behind a fiver. Only about ten actually allow double bumper pull. I thought that if you travel trough a state, that the state you are from would still govern things like towing requirements. I mean... if I move to PA then sure, but if I am just going through it seems odd that I would have to change.
At that price Big I assume no generator or good insulation like double paned windows. Overall, very nice for the money. Oops, I commented before you showed the generator. Very good price.
Really depends on the specifics of the truck. A dually would be a better choice, but if you have the correct tow package, gearing, and engine you should be able to
I'm interested in an airsteam 27 or 30 footer and whether or not a dually is needed. I saw a review on Jay leno where the president of the company mentioned that most customers that purchase an air stream use a 1500. What is your opinion? I'd love to see a review.
Do you recommend a smaller aluminum frame toyhauler like a quicksilver 8.5x26 bumper pull priced at 30-35k or a large steel frame like the xlr? Looking to keep for the long run.
Question: looking to buy a tow rig in the next 6 months. I'm only interested in new fords. I have owned a dually before and its turning radius was terrible. I read the F450 turns slightly tighter than a F350 short bed. Here is the thing that bugs me. I keep reading that the F450 is geared so low that it rpm are too fast on the freeways when you are not towing. You have a F450, how do you like it on the freeways when you're are empty?
Love driving it in all conditions. Turning radius is much better than an F350 (7ft tighter). Feels identical to the F350 dually (4:10 equipped) in terms of engine RPMs when accelerating or cruising.
I know folks want to get half ton towables, and while it can be pulled by a 250/2500, having that one level higher truck than you need, and the dually, they really make a massive difference. You will be amazed how stable that big tall trailer is behind a dually. I have a 40’ raptor toy hauler (about 15k fully loaded) and I hardly even know it is behind my F350 dually. If you need the back seats, the F350 is the only way to go. They have very spacious comfortable back seats.
Hate to bug you, but with the mention of the generator, I have to ask; any thoughts on getting a Cummins/Onan 2300W generator that hasn't been run in a couple years serviced, and running? I bought a Sprinter with it installed under the rear and am building a little home built, "budget build," RV. I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money, and from the research, it seems pretty straight forward to get it running again- new carb & filters, blow out the lines, and go. But I'm hesitant on doing the work myself. Any thoughts? (I'm in the SW Florida area)
So, I’m 6’6” and my issue is finding a 5th wheel toy hauler that I can shower in without having to kneel. Are you aware of any floor plan where the shower is on the main level with taller ceilings?? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
The forest river amp 385 thunderbolt has a large bathroom with 11 foot ceilings. You will have to find a used one because they stopped making them as of 2016.
+Gene Murphy: Only a regular cab, short bed, 2wd diesel 3/4 ton truck with the lowest gear ratio would be rated to tow this. A 1-ton SRW could if properly spec'd as well. I would highly recommend a Dually though.
First, whats the pin weight? If its like 3-4k then its going to be iffy, but I have pulled a 43 ft jayco from Atlanta to North Illinois with 3/4 ton Ford crew 4x4 diesel with absolutely no issues running 65-75. You will need air bags though.
i find with these RV, the frame, appliances and exterior are for the most part all the same regardless of the line. They give you some BS cheap amenities and raise the price $40k. Anyone with some mechanical aptitude can easily make their own upgrades to increase the "luxury factor".
I am looking for an RV, and being a contractor, i can't help but think of all the possible upgrades that can be done with a base unit. Quality would also be significantly better if i did it myself. Just need to be conscious of GVWR when doing it yourself....
Super rare content narration!!! We'd all have to agree with how honest this man is. He must care what Jesus thinks of him is all I can say. ( Upgrade the tires, not a lot of sitting space, add bar stools, etc. ect.) I'm sure your wife appreciates marrying an honest man and your parents sleep better at night knowing they must have done something right?
unfortunately you get what you pay for. know multiple people that have forest river and the fit and finish is cheap and constant problems with slides,trim,appliances etc. but get what you pay for

And you get more ground clearance without the drop frame, which most toy hauling folks need as we go into the desert, beach, hills etc.!
Glad to see a toy hauler vid, thank you and great work!
Thanks for sharing this one! You’re building my dream. I can’t wait to get something like this 💪
That is one really nice Toy Hauler. For the size and all the features that it has , I think the price is pretty good. Nice video & walk through !!!
We just bought a bumper pull Toy hauler. Love the electric bed and lower electric couch. You can also do a screen porch.
Fuel tank is for generator also. What a great price and 2 ac units. And E rated tires. Oil gas not a a problem smell.. Haulers have flow through side vents and everything is efi now.

Even at the MSRP of $65k it's still a every good deal for what you get.
This is glorious. They finally making rvs that arent luxury yachts and practical amenities. Was starting to wonder who they built these for.
That pantry/ loft is storage
RV king mattress is 72" wide. Regular king mattress is 76" wide both 80" long. Still a big mattress!
What a great deal on a toy hauler, and a good video also thanks, see ya.
I would never own a RV that has an inaccessible fridge with the slides in. We have a triple slide toyhauler with an island in the kitchen but it does not block the fridge. We pull over for quick meals and breaks while travelling. Having to put out a slide would suck.
blake couch takes seconds..,l they work on 12V
Love the Pontiac Aztec photobomb!

The deal breaker is the length as we're going to cross country and too many camp sites are too small.
Looks Awesome!! Thank You 🙏
Too bad I can’t afford any of these but am I the only one that just dreams of having a sweet dually and a nice fifth wheel?

Thats a pretty good deal to be fair
That's really awesome. I'd much rather pay for the Onan 5.5K than a dumb fireplace.
Harbor freight sells a decent 1500 watt portable electric fireplace for around $75. You can even set it outside for ambiance (no rain of course 😅 )
Very Nice and a Good Price. !!
Heck of a price I paid real close to that for my Lance truck camper.
Did I miss the size of the garage area. I would need a 12' long and 8' tall to fit my toy But I love this design and the fact it's got vinyl floors through out other than master bedroom

Stacy Reid the height of your toy is exactly why this has the split seat/bed mounted to the wall rather than raised up. To give you more height for the taller UTVs. This might fit nicely for you.
Chap C that's great to know because my Commander is 7' tall 6'8" wide and about 11' long.

Wow, brand new trailer and that outside propane gas line is rusted all up.
Looks like my artic wolf with a garage added...forest river stuff...
That's huge! How about a short A class and enclosed trailer for the toys.
Great for a couple and a Smart car inside!!
Thats freaking nice

Tires, roof seals, water heaters, slide motors and seals. Interiors can easily be changed
you should look at voltage or voltage v series both are by dutchman rv i personally own a voltage v series model 3605 if you go to a wholesale dealer you can get one for about 66,000 but they retail/msrp is 101,000

Pretty nice rig for the money.
You should do a review on the grand design momentum! You have mentioned they make a good product with the solitude line in previous videos
Smooth 450 did work at their factory for an addition. Got a walk through of the top end momentum.... Insert drool... Wish I could afford one haha

Great review. That would make the perfect mid life crisis escape plan. Lol
I'm confused by the phrase "solid surface laminated counter tops."
Wow thats amazing
can you do pop up toy hauler? Or pop ups on general
That overhead bunk seems so high up. I'm 5' 12", and still need a ladder.
You mean 6'0" no such thing as being 5'12" 😂
My old half ton gmc would haul it.
46k is a really good affordable price, my question is what's more affordable for a 3/4 ton pickup a 5th wheel, rv trailer or a toy hauler????
Can you please do a review or talk over a Northwoods Nash travel trailer
would you say that this could be towed by a srw 3500, or would a dually be better/required?
Really depends on the specifics of the truck. A dually would be a better choice, but if you have the correct tow package, gearing, and engine you should be able to
So it's a 325PACK13 with a king bed and wardrobe slide?
😎🇺🇸 Hey Buddy Nice Unit I really like the price 👍
I'm interested in an airsteam 27 or 30 footer and whether or not a dually is needed. I saw a review on Jay leno where the president of the company mentioned that most customers that purchase an air stream use a 1500. What is your opinion? I'd love to see a review.
I like this one
Holy cow! That XLR Boost toy hauler is amazing. I need to win the lottery! lol
Could I tow this with a 2017 F250 crew cab short bed Gas? Or do I need to go diesel? Toys are 3 sportbikes 400lbs each.
Thanks Dude
Do you recommend a smaller aluminum frame toyhauler like a quicksilver 8.5x26 bumper pull priced at 30-35k or a large steel frame like the xlr? Looking to keep for the long run.
How much weight of ATV can one put in the garage?
Amazing how they all have rusted gas lines. Guess that's what happens when they come across the country in the winter..
Looking at a Raptor 2019 toy hauler fifth wheeler. how do you feel about it?? thanks
That would be a RV King bed. 70 inch wide vs 76 inch wide .
not my ideal floor plane. some very unique features though. The loft and king size bed was fantastic! great price for sure
Hi
Did I miss. How big is the garage? Also is back ramp also a patio with an awning? Thanks

12ft garage.
Question: looking to buy a tow rig in the next 6 months. I'm only interested in new fords. I have owned a dually before and its turning radius was terrible.

Love driving it in all conditions. Turning radius is much better than an F350 (7ft tighter). Feels identical to the F350 dually (4:10 equipped) in terms of engine RPMs when accelerating or cruising.
Is this a 4 season set up?
What are the garage floors made from. May are plywood no, which with vehicles in and out, tend to rot?
C Steele: Generally plywood. many times the cleats are attached to the frame
Does that mean they could be replaced?
in europe you can berrely fit 20 feet long rv on rvparks
good job on the review. we r going to buy s new one and haven't seen this one yet
What size and style of truck would you recommend for towing this rig comfortably and safely?
Stinger 45: I would highly suggest a Ford, RAM, or GM Dually pickup.
I know folks want to get half ton towables, and while it can be pulled by a 250/2500, having that one level higher truck than you need, and the dually, they really make a massive difference. You will be amazed how stable that big tall trailer is behind a dually. I have a 40’ raptor toy hauler (about 15k fully loaded) and I hardly even know it is behind my F350 dually.
If you need the back seats, the F350 is the only way to go. They have very spacious comfortable back seats.
Does that Onan Genny on this trailer run LPG or Gasoline?
Jared Janhsen
I hear that all of the newer RV generators run on propane in order to meet California CARB regulations.
Hate to bug you, but with the mention of the generator, I have to ask; any thoughts on getting a Cummins/Onan 2300W generator that hasn't been run in a couple years serviced, and running? I bought a Sprinter with it installed under the rear and am building a little home built, "budget build," RV. I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money, and from the research, it seems pretty straight forward to get it running again- new carb & filters, blow out the lines, and go. But I'm hesitant on doing the work myself. Any thoughts? (I'm in the SW Florida area)
I would drain the fuel system and replace all lines, filters, and do a semi overhaul. should be good so long as the previous owner didn't wreck it
Big Truck Big RV Thanks. I've rebuilt a '63 AMC, but when it comes to a generator, I just feel out of my element.
What kind of insulation pkg does this have?
can a Chevy 2017 2500hd Duramax pull this?
Nice!!
So, I’m 6’6” and my issue is finding a 5th wheel toy hauler that I can shower in without having to kneel. Are you aware of any floor plan where the shower is on the main level with taller ceilings?? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Not really. There are several that have a second shower in the back though
The forest river amp 385 thunderbolt has a large bathroom with 11 foot ceilings. You will have to find a used one because they stopped making them as of 2016.
I want it!
Not half-ton towable? LOL. I wouldn't dream of towing this with anything less than a 1-ton dually...
Chris Gleeton right?!? Not 3/4 to towable😂😂
Can that be towed by a 3/4 ton or is a 1 ton+ required
+Gene Murphy: Only a regular cab, short bed, 2wd diesel 3/4 ton truck with the lowest gear ratio would be rated to tow this. A 1-ton SRW could if properly spec'd as well. I would highly recommend a Dually though.
I have an 05 K2500 Diesel xtra cab 8'bed
First, whats the pin weight? If its like 3-4k then its going to be iffy, but I have pulled a 43 ft jayco from Atlanta to North Illinois with 3/4 ton Ford crew 4x4 diesel with absolutely no issues running 65-75. You will need air bags though.
MY FAV
Could you carry a Miata or Smart car in this?
+Barney R: so long as it's under 13ft
My local dealer has them for $36,920? exact same model and year.
need to check for the Generator option. Most didn't get spec'd with it and it's adds alot to the price.
Which floor plan is this?
Never mind lol. Found it in the video. Thanks man
Can you do a much more expensive and nicer toy haulers?
+Spencer Ogilvie: did one a while back, but I do plan on doing more
That's "budget?" I suppose so. I don't need something that big, but someone else certainly does.
why is it priced so low?
Did I win the front guard yet?
U the man
You get what you pay for. Spend the extra money to get a quality toy hauler.
John Sanford it is a Forest River product, better than most.
John Sanford: spending more might get you fancier options, but they are all Pretty much constructed the same.
i find with these RV, the frame, appliances and exterior are for the most part all the same regardless of the line. They give you some BS cheap amenities and raise the price $40k. Anyone with some mechanical aptitude can easily make their own upgrades to increase the "luxury factor".
Regal2800: Kind of our approach with our Chaparral, but more from a towability perspective.
I am looking for an RV, and being a contractor, i can't help but think of all the possible upgrades that can be done with a base unit. Quality would also be significantly better if i did it myself. Just need to be conscious of GVWR when doing it yourself....
Super rare content narration!!! We'd all have to agree with how honest this man is. He must care what Jesus thinks of him is all I can say.
( Upgrade the tires, not a lot of sitting space, add bar stools, etc. ect.)
I'm sure your wife appreciates marrying an honest man and your parents sleep better at night knowing they must have done something right?
unfortunately you get what you pay for. know multiple people that have forest river and the fit and finish is cheap and constant problems with slides,trim,appliances etc. but get what you pay for
