New Toy Hauler

[jaherbst]

You're gonna get me in more trouble than my Missus can stand!
Rear suspension? When I load the Spyder: I'm already within 500 pounds of the GVW limit...

This "disease" is called "inch-itis" in the RV World. We always want a few more inches if not feet. I started with a 27' Coronado and wound up 7 motorhomes later with a 40' diesel pusher. Now this is my third toy hauler. Started with a 18EC (20') Work and Play, next 30' Work and Play and picking up my new 36' Shockwave today.

Unless I over farkle the Spyder I should be OK. The new one has a 3650# CCC. ​ 12,100# GVWR

we too are picking up our new Toyhauler today as well..,!! We started out many years ago with a small (very small) pop-up and over the years felt the need to get more room to the one we’re picking up today which is 40 ft. Long ..! Should be great though and the garage is 12.5ft derp so plenty of room for the 🕷 ..!
congrats on your new camper and I share your excitement today .,!!

"Inch-itis"?
I guess that it's best to not enter into THIS conversation!

That's a real Beauty!

That's pretty cool when you can not only take your home with you on the road, but your garage too!

Your statement gave me a good laugh.....its so true.

Finally got done with the “walk-thru” and parked at the house .! We love it ..!!

Bought my F-3 8-15-2015. Bought my Voltage toyhauler in Dec. that same year. Have used it many times over the years. Here's a pic of the units in Tucson. Headed back that way soon!

Very nice! That's what I wanted but as previously state to tall for my hanger door. Had to get a really long

bumper pull. Picked mine up and parked it in the hanger today. Will try to post pictures.

Hey lets have a Toy hauler/Spyder party/rendezvous!

Jack,

Are you going to be at the SOAR event in Johnson C, WI this year? If so can I ask for a walk through of your new toy hauler?

Well I finally figured out how to load photo's. Not done so for a long time. First is the new Shockwave 2018 T29KSDX hooked up to the 2017 King Ranch Super Duty Diesel. Second (eat your heart out) a couple of old friends I met at the Barrett Jackson car auction in Scottsdale AZ. Third one of my (3) Giant Schnauzer's "Nikki".

That is one impressive looking rig Jack. Hope you get many miles of use from it. Thanks for posting the photos.

[Big Arm]

Congratulations Jack !!!! Beautiful !!! (I'm talking about the truck and trailer )
Very nice looking rig Wishing you many, many, safe and enjoyable miles.

With an RV that large how does it handle compared to a fifth wheel? You do use an equalizer hitch, right? I've always had the impression that the fifth wheel configuration offered better load distribution and thus handling of the tow rig.

You know, we always say that if there're no pics it didn't happen . . . So I guess we have to believe whatever you say about pic 2!!

[Bob Denman]

That's a REALLY nice-lookin' rig! again!

WD and Anti Sway hitch. Tows great. Only need to keep enough hitch weight while towing. Enough room

to move the Maverick, Spyder or M/C's forward if need to.

Looks like a 30 ft. rig there..! Shockwave Toyhaulers are set up pretty nice ..! Probably easy to pull too. Congrats and again, nice looking rig ..!
