Toy haulers are a type of RV that has a separate cargo bay. This mobile mini-garage is often used to transport things like powersports vehicles, hence the name “toy hauler”. However, there is no reason that you are limited to only using this space to transport “toys.” Creative toy hauler owners have come up with a bevy of creative alternative uses for their camper’s cargo bay. To learn some unique ways you can use your toy hauler, check out this guide created by the experts at The Outpost RV.

Make Traveling for Work Easier

If you have a job that requires that you move around a lot, a fifth wheel may be just what you are looking for. By sleeping in the RV’s residential section, you can avoid having to pay exorbitant hotel fees. Even better, the cargo bay can be converted into a mobile office. You’ll never have to set up shop in a local library just to get some work done again!

Perhaps you have a job that often requires you to move to where the work is while transporting a lot of materials. For construction workers and landscapers, the cargo bay is a secure place to keep tools and materials when not in use. Toy haulers also offer a way for artisans to transport their creations to flea markets and trade shows. No matter what you are transporting, a toy hauler offers protection from theft and weather damage.

Take More People on Camping Trips

If you find that your toy hauler’s residential area doesn’t have enough beds for everyone you want to bring on your trip, simply convert the cargo into a dormitory! All it takes is a few air mattresses, blankets, and pillows to fit a few more friends and family members into your camper.

Host Social Events

Many toy haulers have a rear ramp that converts into a patio space. This allows you to take advantage of your camper’s kitchen, living room, and bathroom facilities while also providing a venue for activities like game nights and tailgating parties. If the weather takes a sudden turn, just back up and move everyone inside.

Enjoy a Hunting Trip

Toy haulers are great for hunters. Why create a mess in your home garage when your toy hauler’s cargo bay is sheltered from the elements and easy to clean?

Create a Workshop

Whether your passion is woodworking, painting, or something else entirely, a toy hauler’s cargo bay makes an excellent studio. Besides being easy to clean, it can provide you with the peace and quiet you desperately need to make the creative juices flow.

Build Your Kids a Playroom

If you are traveling with children, consider converting your toy hauler’s cargo bay into a playroom. This will give them a space of their own while still allowing you to be within reach if something happens. If a rainy day threatens to ruin their fun, this can be a great backup option.

With all these potential uses, a toy hauler can be a surprisingly versatile choice when it comes to RV types.  For more information, or to view our selection of toy hauler models, visit The Outpost RV at our dealership in Middlebury, Indiana.
