We have an 06 Skyline 370 Fiver basically the same floorplan as the Keystone Raptor double slide with the 12ft garage. When we bought it everything fit perfect. Stupid me decided to buy a Polaris Ranger and have now accumulated 2 more motorcycles. Needless to say we are out of room, no where for all the toys so now it's a battle deciding what to take and what to leave home. At almost 40ft of trailer we can't tow double so I am out of options. Anyone else have any suggestions? We are considering selling and going to a motorhome with a 24ft trailer or so or maybe downsizing on the toys. Bad part is it's a terrible time to try and get rid of a Toyhauler the size of ours. Not much of a market for them right now with the economy. I really hate the thought of selling my motorcycles but to be honest I would sell them over the Ranger cause the Ranger is something the whole family can enjoy. Hindsite maybe the garage model was not the greatest idea but at the time it seemed perfect. What to do, what to do...

I know I had 2 great tow vehicles. Both my Kenworth and the Volvo are the Ultimate Tow vehicles. My problem was they sat around to much and it seemed everytime I took it out it cost an arm and a leg in repairs. My wife said the Kenworth was the $500 per trip vehicle for repairs. The Volvo was over $1k in repairs each time. Believe me I would love to do another one but I would choose one with less miles. Then again if I did it again I would be single, and with child support and alamony I would be looking at pop up trailers or be tent camping....

We have the raptor 3612 and in our 12ft garage we fit 1 rhino and 4 dirt bikes.
3 of our dirt bikes are 230's and 1 is a 125 the 3 230's go on the left side of the garage along side of the rhino and the 125 behind the rhino and all gear bags and everything else goes in the rhino when its loaded it looks like the beverley hillbillys.
We are thinking we can put some d-rings somehow inside for a couple bikes like a non garage model would have since when our slide is in we can easily fit 2 in a line if we need too we have not had to do this just yet.
I am sure we could put some stuff in the RV but its all dirty and i dont want any of it in there, Until We run out of room too.
A few pics
Bikes already out of garage
Rhino all loaded

Those toys will get you in trouble every time. If you want, I will take that Polaris off your hands. To show you what a big heart I have, I won't even charge you for taking it and relieving you of some of your current "lack of space" problem.
I want to leave this earth quietly in my sleep like my grandfather and not like the hysterical, screaming passengers riding in granddad's RV just before the big crash.

Thanks for the offer but I would rather just give you the 08 KTM 530EXC-R. Can you help me out with that one instead, Please....

Mount a hitch on the rear and get a dual bike carrier. I bought one off ebay. Any local RV place should be able to mount a hitch on the back of the TH. Done deal.

I built a platform for the back of my wife's rhino and load my son's Grizzly 90 on top sideways. My tailer is a bumper pull, so I still have room to buy 1 more toy to carry there.

Yep did the same thing with our 4 ATVs and under estimated how fast they grow and need larger ATVs. I was trying to find the link to the ATV rack, but with your setup that probably won't help. I did find some on this site that might be worth a look though, www.toystacker.com

(Hand raised HIGH in the air). Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, choose me, PLEEZZZZ.
I'll take it off your hands, ride it regularly, maintain it, and when you want it back, it's your's! Sounds like a PERFECT OFFER to ME!!
