I just picked up orders to NM for the next 4yrs and as my family will not be joining me I felt the toy hauler would make a good choice for a man and his bike. I have gone thru mulitiple web sites, blogs, rants, only to come to the conclusion that I have still have limited knowledge and could use some help. I've been reading through posts trying to pick up on what ya'll think of the trailers being offered today. What I really want is max sq foot living area, I'm thinking two super slides (living room)& 1 normal slide (bed room). Hook up for washer/dryer, big fridge, 2-3 big LP tanks and gen setup. Now I'll be pulling this from the FL pan handle to ABQ NM and parking it. My truck is a 2005 6.0 F-350 HD Edition (slightly modified). YES I know it will be pushing the weight limit and yes the truck will be up graded in the future to something crazy huge. However, I feel with the upgraded brakes and the full Banks big hoss system the truck will be fine for the one time pull. Hey thanks for the help. -Nate

I'm saving my pennies in hopes of getting a Fuzion 362. It has good living space and a washer/dryer hook up in the garage. I think some models of KZ, XLR (Forest River) and Cyclone trailers also have washer/dryer hook ups as well as large living spaces. Good luck!!

Is it too late to visit a local RV show to get a better idea as to what is out there? Seems to be a wide range of designs, as usual, and it would be difficult for any of us to choose a toy hauler for you.
You might also go to www.rvknowhow.com and read the Kieva's suggestions for how to select an RV.

Sounds like the Heartland Cyclone is the right one for you! They make a 40' that sounds exactly what you are looking for.

We have a Heartland Cyclone 3912 (over 40 ft long) and absolutely love it. It has a hook up for the washer and dryer in the garage and the living space is wonderful. There's plenty of room for us, our 2 teenagers, their 2 friends and a dog. The furniture is comfortable and the set-up is great. Check it out - it might be the one for you - www.heartlandrvs.com

The Sunnybrook "Big Dog" is on top of the list right now but not by alot. Going to try and hit an RV show next weekend and get a better idea on what works and doesn't for me. Anything to ask/watch for? IE. mulitiple LP tanks, shock dampin' trailer hookups, extras that just can't be lived without? Thanks again. -Nate
