Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Hi, I am trying to decide what kind of rv to get looking to live in full time.  Would be me and my critters.  Have pretty much decided on a 5th wheel.  When I went to the local RV show, I was looking at the Toy Haulers, thinking that it would be nice to have the washer and dryer out there, along with maybe a small freezer, and some extra storage..  I would like to have some feed back from those of you who have some experience in life in a 5th wheel and if any one has a Toy Hauler, what would be the pros and cons of that set up.. oh and I don't have any "toys" to acutally haul.

I would appreciate any information you all can give me..

Thanks in advance.

The toy hauler thing works great for pets, after we pull our car out the garage converts to a cat room, litter boxes, cat food storage etc....

Are you also bringing "toys" or a second vehicle? Not sure why to go with the toy hauler when you can have the W/D most any reasonable sized 5th wheel. Just seems like a lot of wasted space for storage and a small freezer.

I agree with Bill. We have many friends that have both a separate washer/dryer and a small freezer in a normal fiver. Especially if it's just one person and some animals.
Good luck,

Although we have a regular 5th Wheel, I would consider a Toyhauler as a replacement depending upon the layout of the built in living & kitchen space. The garage area to me offers some flexibilty that we sometimes need.

I can see us using the garage area as an entertainment area... big screen TV and all the video audio toys plus comfortable seating. A place to carry a couple of mobility scooters, golf cart or other means of personal transport.

As a guest room.

Or we could use it for hauling the stuff we sometimes sell at Flea Markets.

Flexibility is the selling point I would buy a toyhauler vs a regular 5th wheel.

By the way Fred, I like your new photo.....

It's a nice photo but I prefer the one from Laurie's blog better.  (Fred will know which one I mean)

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
