Which "Toy Hauler" to Purchase?
December 30, 2006 8:22 PM Subscribe
I'm considering the purchase of a trailer, and more specifically a Toy Hauler like the Wells Cargo GetAway IV.
I know nothing about these types of trailers but would appreciate brand and model recommendations.
I will be pulling the trailer with a 2005 Nissan Titan 4x4. It can handle 9,200 pounds but my preference would be something as light as possible to get the job done.
I am quality - as opposed to price - conscious, though value is important to me.
I will be transporting metal art to art shows in the back "toy area" which would need to be partitioned from the living area.
My wife and I will want a nice cabin in the living area to include LCD TV/DVD (which I will purchase and install), decent bed, nice bathroom / shower, microwave, stove, etc.
The Wells Cargo referenced above comes in either 26' or 28' versions, which seem far larger than I need. The living area is probably fine, but I don't think I need more than 6' of storage space in the rear. Ideally I'd prefer something in the 18'-22' range.
Also any advice regarding price negotiation with regards to trailers would also be appreciated. As I understand it there is far more margin in these than in automobiles, but how do you determine what to pay?
Thanks,
John
