Re: toy hauler question
Glad to hear they have made improvements. Note that 'Garage with living quarters' is not an insult, just a description of what they are (or at least used to be).
Even a few years ago, the front parts could have very nice bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Then they opened out, with a living area and dining area which were adequate. But the rear is (or at least used to be) designed for the 'toys', ie mechanical, often gasolene powered, often dirty, large, heavy contraptions which usually need to be 'driven' up into this area. Of course, they have swing down beds here so that some sleeping can be done, but this used to be a temporary arrangement, designed for a weekend or a week, not 9 months.
As a storage area, it would be great. As a mud room, it would be ok, if there was a people door in the area (so you don't have to lower the whole rear wall) and you added shoe/coat storage. As a long term bedroom, the ones I saw a few years back would have been less than stellar.
Which is not to say that some manufacturer has overcome this. Or a talented DIY could not upgrade this part of the trailer.
