    Back when we had our toy hauler we lived full-time in it when I was working as a contractor mostly on the road. We didn't have any motorcycles then but the garage with my workbench and tools kept me happy.

    That's quite a hauler truck. If you had too many overnight guests you could have them bunk in the truck!

    I didn't know they made B Pluses as toyhaulers. I thought all toyhaulers were trailers.

    Yup!
    31 feet long... the Class A model is about 8 feet longer, a couple of inches wider, and about two feet taller!

    Looks great Bob. Is that a Thor Toy Hauler? Dealer offered to buy the ramp patio but I think I will keep it

    on to give it a try. I see yours also has an awning over the ramp. Nice touch.

    Funny how this works Bob, but you will be looking for a bigger one in a year or two. I have had 7

    motorhomes and this will be my third travel trailer Toy Hauler. I always started small and kept inching up.

    I wanted the Thor Outlaw but could not fit it in my hanger which is a must for me for storage. I like what

    you've got.

    I'm actually kinda , sorta, maybe... looking at the Class A version right now...
    My reasons:
    The garage is a foot longer, and it has a REAL bedroom for me and the Missus.
    Right now: we use the convertible couch up front...

    I just don't think that I could drive a Beast of that size!!

    Three of my 7 motorhomes were very large diesel pushers Bob. You would be amazed at how easy they are to drive. Camille drove half the time and did very well I might add. But then again she is no ordinary woman if I might say so.

    Felt I was not getting enough use out of the motorhomes to justify the cost and depreciation. Decided to put most of my money in the truck rather than the trailer which was half the cost of the truck. At least I can use the truck daily and not fret over the infrequent use of the trailer.

    Will post some pictures late next week.

    Jack,

    Sounds like a great purchase, but your math is a little off.

    He didn't figure in the length of the trailer tongue...

    When we were shopping; we considered a smaller Class C and a trailer for the bike.
    A 24 foot long rig and a 10 foot trailer worked out to be 39 feet long.
    We're at just 31 right now...

    They got me befuddled with this whole "Turn when your hips get past the thing you don't want to run over."
    I need sensors on the side of the rig, to tell me when that happens...

    I don't get paid to proofread... his meaning was readily discernable.
    But since you're in the mood to "pick nits":

    "You missed it to."

    Did you mean, "You missed it also?"
    Or perhaps:
    "Did you miss it too?"
