Toy hauler options

I don't know about other parts of the country, but in the West toy haulers are very popular. Here in Arizona you see them just about everywhere that you see RVs. Southern California appears to have its share too. It seems that most fifth wheel trailer manufacturers now offer a toy hauler model. On the RV dealer's lots around Phoenix they seem to make up a significant portion of their inventory.

I don't have any motorized toys and I have no plans to buy any. But out of curiosity, I poked my head in a couple of units at a dealer near me. I know that a typical toy hauler floor plan has a bed in the "garage" that can be raised during hauling and lowered at camp. So I was a little surprised to see the variation pictured above. Here the dining room is built to be raised, after the table is first lowered it seems. This unit also had steel garage flooring extending into the lounge area and a bench-style sofa that folds up to make room for even more toys. It still had an adequate kitchen too.
