hey guys, Im looking for a RV. a pull trailer about 26' +- a foot.what I was wondering is with out going to a ramp trailer(toy hauler) are there any trailers with large holding tanks like the ramp trailers have?

I need 150 Gal. fresh water and 50+ gray- black and gen set
I dont want a fifth wheel because I have a rack that gos with me,plus i have a second water and fuel tank in the truck.

Its just me and the three kids and some day a wife
thanks

Good question. I've looked and never found one from the factory, but many have had the space for a larger fresh water tank to be added. Tongue pulls, that aren't toy haulers, with space for a gen set, are also rare. The wife and I have often thought it's not a bad idea to take a toy hauler and convert it over to what we want.

 

Rebel, In my searches before I bought my 5ver the 150 gal fresh was no where to be found from a factory, seems like there all around the 70 gal range. I looked at doing the toy hauler/conversion to get the gen set but I usually have the atv's on a trailer behind the fver so I throw the generater on there. It's kind of a pain but on the other hand it good because I just leave it on the trailer and go stick it in the trees away from camp and run a heavy cord to the trailer.

 

The main problem with a 150 gallon fresh water tank plus big storage tanks is weight. You are talking about 1300 pounds for the fresh tank alone. Then, add another 6 - 900 for storage tanks. Not good for the average trailer which has about 1500 total load capacity.

Go here http://www.warriormfg.com/fb-frame.htm We just bought an 07 FS2300 Superlite with a 100 gallon but this link takes you to the wide body chassis and they have 150 gallon and 50 g/b tanks. Most of the larger tongue types with on board pressure sprayers will have the larger fresh water tanks for obvious reasons.

What do you guys mean by "converting" a toy hauler over to what you want?

 

Staarma, Thanks for the in site on the link I will keep this for our next purchase. In reference to the "converting thing" I had looked at converting a toy hauler to a more usable living space (IMO) vs the fold down coaches and pull down bunk beds. My problem is I really didn't like having to go 34' + for the rear storage and then only being able to barely squeuze two atv's in it, as I usually haul 3 atv's. We looked a couple of the shorter toy haulers but the atv's in the kitchen just didn't sit well with the wife.

There is an outfit in Idaho that does excellent conversions as we have had them do a couple in some stacker race trailers, but just couldn't justify the cost for the RV.

I gotcha on the conversion part now. I had a little convincing to do on the wife with the ATV's in the kitchen as well. We have a queen up front for us and the three boys have double electric queen bunks in the back for them plus the two couches fold out into beds. I figure they are going to be tough on stuff as it is so we can pressure wash the rear out with the on board pressure washer and hose them down in the outside shower. Should be enough fresh water to do it over a weekend.

 

What I meant was, it's difficult to get large water tanks and gen sets on regular travel trailers, but easy on toy haulers. Many toy haulers can be easily converted over to a regular travel trailer with some imaginative thinking. Add some furniture and do a little decorating, and the hauling space becomes living space.

 

Check out the Desert Fox line of toyhaulers. The wife and I picked up a 29' desert fox toy hauler which has a 96 gal. freshwater tank. We love it. All though it is kinda heavy weighing in at 10100lbs. loaded up.

 

well I was hoping that there was one out there. but the toy haulers seem to have what I need. I have a rack for the truck that holds 4 atvs on itand thats why I wanted just a trailer , with putting atvs inside ,when I need to stop on the road I have to unload the atvs .Right now I tow my friends ragen rvt and its got 100 gal. 48Gray/black the new ones have 150/58/58 .toy hauler seem real spendy $$ but I guess ill have to pay for what I need.

 

I picked up our 07 for $23,794 out the door. That included 4.0 Onan Microquiet gen, fuel station, outside pressure sprayer, outside shower with hot and cold, tv/dvd combo, outside speakers, out side halogens on the door side, ramp and front for hooking up, entry door flood, awning, twin rv batteries and lp tanks, spare tire, stabilizer jacks, twin electric queen bunks in the rear with queen bedroom up front, screen for ramp when down, etc. etc. etc.

 

Sounds really nice. What's the make and model?

Edit: Nevermind, I reread your previous post.
