Best Lightweight Toy Hauler Travel Trailers

Written by Stephanie Sawyer | June 16, 2020

When you’re a camper who loves to travel with equipment and toys to camping spots and parks, it’s important to be able to bring it all with you. A lightweight toy hauler travel trailer is perfect for the job, as it can fit your biggest bits of gear inside, but is still light enough, so it can be easily towed to your next adventure.

Toy Hauler Travel Trailers vs. Regular Travel Trailer

You might be struggling to decide between a toy hauler travel trailer and a regular travel trailer and which one would fit your lifestyle better. They both offer different things so it’s best to do your research on each type before deciding.

A toy hauler travel trailer gives you extra space like a garage to store and travel with your favorite sports equipment or toys. The space is flexible and can be used as an additional living or sleeping space when not being used as a garage, as toy haulers usually include a pull-down bed or fordable dinette feature. 

A regular travel trailer will give RVers the option to have more interior space and features such as a bunkhouse, extra beds, larger kitchen or common area.

If you prefer to camp with more people, a regular travel trailer might be a better fit. If you are a camper more interested in hauling along your favorite toys, equipment and gear, a toy hauler might be the best choice.
