Toyhaulers?

[somethingnuw]

On a much cheaper note... anybody have a look at a trailer called a VRV... versatile rec vehicle i think it stands for? Looks like a car hauler but has bunks and maybe a small kitchen up front??? depending on lay out can hold 4 full size ATV's

Your choices are only limited by your truck, and your wallet!!

i have the raptor 3612, 110 gal water tank is nice, enough water for extended stays plus pressure washing the quads off but needed to add extra bracing, pulls great even in high wind.

Where are you adding extra bracing?

 

[higher n you]

the factory only installed 2 lengthwise paper thin straps for a 110gal tank. it fell down. i added heavy angle from frame rail to frame rail and extra strapping where the factory ones failed.

just bought a 2011 forest river sandstorm ... totaly not the way were going lol .... was looking at used weekend warriors in the 40 foot range .... but most are 30000 plus used ...

got the 38 foot sandstorm full load brand new for 35000.00


kind of a no brainer as far as price ect...

most the used ones have 300 plus hrs on the gennys and tires ect need replaced ... by the time u replaced stuff and serviced it it was close to the same price ...

new one has warranty [ which is nice but i know that sometimes u can't get it in for months lol ]

Good to know. I have a TT and should have a look at the strapping. Great trailer, but just had some furnace issues this last weekend. No ignition on pilot.....so she was a chilly night or two. I think the ignitor must have crapped out.

I was doing that to mine today. The tank was almost touching the axles. I went with 3/4 inch treated plywood against the tank and replaced the original straps with heavy angle iron. The belly cover is a real pain in the azz..screws broke off so had to drill new holes and replace screws. Mine has 4 straps.

It's a 3215 floor plan... Has a onan 5500 quiet series. Trailer is built by forest river. An identical trailer is a shockwave. Built by forest also...

A few things new fixed, straightened, ect.

Toilet leaks just ever so much when flushing-filling.
Tub surround is cracked.
Just small things.

Got it from cars Rv in red deer. They are not the original dealer. Festival Ford was but the Rv dealer went belly up, and cars is a forest river dealer -warranty.
