The Perfect Toy Hauler Solution


The Idaho Tote Dolly. Is the perfect solution for RV’ers who want to take along their 4-wheelers, motorcycles, golf carts or any other recreational equipment. Also you can turn your Pickup truck into a flatbed.  The Idaho Tote is equipped with a Pressure Sensing Steering Axle (PSSA). When pressure is applied from turning, the wheels will automatically steer! The Idaho Tote has an onboard compressed air system which is used to change the position of the axle when traveling forward and rearward.

Affixed to the axle system are 2 Firestone air bags. One is inflated when traveling down the highway. The other will be inflated when you shift into reverse. In addition to the normal stop, turn and tail lights in the electrical plug (which needs to be installed on the rear of the unit to which the Tote is attached) a 10 GAUGE WIRE WITH AN INLINE 30 AMP FUSE is used for the charge wire system. The other is wired into the backup light system. Your onboard batteries in your camper or motor coach are used for the charge wire system. The axle system is designed with king pin slope; this creates posture which makes the wheels want to steer.

Many RV’ers want more options to accommodate their budget. Bigger is always better and to some less is more. If you already have a fifth wheel and want to take your toys  and are considering a toy hauler you might want to look at the Idaho Tote as an alternative. Most RV’ers that I talk to on a daily basis want as much space as the budget will allow. Toy haulers are more expensive than fifth wheels also you are giving up living space to allow for your garage.

If you are the RV buyer that wants the Big Mack Daddy toy hauler with ALL the living space, garage space and bells and whistles, that unit is available for 89 to 100 thousand dollars. In our economy that buyer very seldom walks through our doors. For the most, people are trying to save money and the Idaho Tote will allow you to do that. As a matter of fact you don’t have to have toys to purchase a toy hauler at all. I sold one to a guy that wanted to put a stripper pole in the garage area for his girlfriends. The funniest part of that story is our service department installed it for him.

I personally love the Big Mack Daddy toy hauler. If you want to browse the toy hauler inventory to see why click on toy haulers on the side bar of my blog. If you want a brochure of the Idaho Tote.    Barbara Andrews. Orange Park, Florida.

Toy Haulers For The Active Sportsman


A Toy Hauler is exactly what it sounds like it is.  It is a large trailer to haul large toys in.  Of course the toys we’re talking about are ATVs, motorcycles, golf carts, valuable classic cars and the like.  In this case we’re not talking about boats though smaller watercraft could be hauled in a toy hauler rv.  I just don’t think they build a trailer that big!  The difference between a Toy Hauler, a regular trailer, and a travel trailer, is that they are both combined!  Depending on what you haul helps you choose your hauler.  There are Toy Hauler rvs that are more RV than trailer, and others that are more trailer than RV.

Toy Haulers are excellent for the traveling sportsman.  Instead of having to get a hotel every time you go to compete, you can stay in your own comfortable RV.  It not only saves money, it saves time and is more comfortable because you are staying in your second home and your own surroundings.  These trailers come in many varieties.  Some are convertible from “garages” into living space.  The beds either fold up against the walls or hook up to the ceiling and the kitchenette is a small sink and maybe a cupboard or two in the front of the trailer.  Often, the beds are convertible into couches to give plenty of seating for eating and other entertainment during the day.  There are also options available for entertainment, including a place for a television for movies and video games, etc.

Toy Haulers offer you the freedom to do what you enjoy in style and comfort. Every floorplan has been designed to give you room for all your “toys” and accommodate the needs of your active lifestyle. How awesome is that?  The Toy Hauler is my favorite RV. It is so versatile that you can turn the garage area into a second bedroom or any room you like. Most fifth wheel models come with a 10, 12, or 14 foot garage and if that isn’t enough space their are models with open floorplans but, not as attractive or convenient since you have to fold your sofa and booth into the wall.

Toy Haulers are so popular now that it’s difficult to find a used toy hauler in some areas. I have a waiting  list of customers in Florida looking for both types. Luckily, you can shop online to find the one that’s right for you. You can also get a much better idea of how much the model you’re interested in costs new and used. Make sure you do a thorough inspection of the used toy hauler before you purchase it. You should look at the brakes, tires, shocks, suspension, hoses, belts, seals, and batteries and of course the over all ware.
