To toy hauler enthusiasts, there are those who wish to bring along a 'ride' without losing 8' of their rig to a garage, being enslaved to a pull thru to un/ reload no matter how convertible that space is. To most It still is a garage with all the smells and lack of view windows hauler rigs have in common.
Give them a break, it may lead to rv designs you wish for.

I have seen a lot of floor plans out there that instead of being a full on 10,12 or 14ft garage, have a side load for a motorcycle. I would be trying to find one of these. It is a toy hauler, just not as big as most to me.

Too true!. That's we went with the Fuzion 383: you don't lose any space to the garage, since there really isn't any garage per se.

Hmmmmm, that side loader looks interesting. Hate to lose human space to a machine but this looks like space loss is minimalized. Now, if I could have one built by one of the upper end builders I might give the idea of carrying a midsized bike consideration again.

Carrige used to make one. I had one next to me in Oregon 2 years ago that had a golf cart in it.

Those aren't just used for "vehicles". I've read about that area being used to keep and groom show dogs, as well!

Rolling Thunder makes the H345MPR. It's got two doors, one on each side so you can go in and drive out frontwards.
It also has the patio option which I think is one of the coolest new things.
I have a Cougar 310SRX with the 6 ft garage and the side door. We travel a lot with our daughter and the garage ends up being a second bedroom when all the equipment is out for the shows.

I showed the Rolling Thunder floorplan to my wife and daughter and we all like it. So it might be in our future.

Cheers
Chris
