I just picked up a new Next Level 5ther from Richardson's in Riverside. I bought a Next Level TT from them last year too. Talk to Duffy or Ken. They both older retired guy selling RV's. Service department is great. They have some killer deals right now.

What kind of toys are you buying? :D
Still Have the Rhino & Harley,No plans for anything else in the immediate(sp?) future.
Looking at buying a toy hauler sometime in the near future.
I am going to sell my 36' travel trailer or trade it and i am selling a 6'X10'
enclosed Haulmark trailer if you know anyone in the market.
Just think a toy hauler will be more functional all year rather than our travel trailer we only use during the summer.

I'll keep my ears open. What do you use the Haulmark for, the Rhino? Wish is was a little longer, i might be in the market.
Yeah for the Rhino, it's a 2007 with ramp rear door,side door,extra 6" height
for rear opening,marine plywood floor,interior light,spare tire,with adjustable tie downs inside.
I don't have any pics but will probablly take some this weekend and post it in the spam section.

What brands are you looking at? If WW, go with Shawn. There are good dealers for other brands if you're not into a WW.

We went to Shawn like everyone recomended.
He quoted us $88.000 for the rig we wanted.
We got several other quotes at $58.000 for the same rig (Travelon in SD).
I'm guessing he's recomended because of the legendary appalling poor customer service both Giant and WW had, and he was able to get better treatment for his buyers.
WW has improved their service. and even has a dedicated factory service center near the 210/15.
Still hearing a few fuxstories,, but overall, their service has improved.
So,, to answer your question:
We liked Travelon for WW.

BTW: If you deal with Shawn,
The rule of thumb with any WW price is 28% off MSRP the hauler & all added options.

Ive got a Raptor 3612DS and tow it with a Kenworth T2000. Both will be for sale in the next couple of weeks. There are WAY to many extras to list right now.........

Lots of good used deals on Glamisdunes.com
If other brands are an option, check out Rage'n stuff, stronger built than WW, part of the reason WW bought a 51% stake in the co. Only change since WW bought them is more windows. Factory is separate, more steel in the frame, real oak cabinets. The best choice if you actually take your trailer off road.
Agreed on Travelon, they compete all the time against Giant and are usually cheaper.

If you are looking to only fit in a bike and rhino check out the trailers that have garages. Virtually every mfgr has a model. Mostly in the 5th wheel version. This will still get you the living space that was similar to the travel trailer. Many people have a hard time converting from a travel trailer to toy hauler interior since they are soooo different. The ones with the garages still have full stationairy dinettes, real couches (many with sofa beds), and much nicer kitchen options. I personally dont care for WW, as EVERY person I know with one has had problems. Ive had 3 forrest river (sandpipers) and havent had one problem (not to say that others dont, im probably just lucky). I looked at the 39 attitude and that one is the nicest layout ive seen in big 5th wheels so far. If you have a family, or like to cook, this one has a HUGE island, and 2 full size refrigerators!
Just an FYI, dont know what your pull rig is, but keep in mind that toyhaulers are generally much heavier than travel trailers since they have stronger frames.

Not sure if its the same one we went to shadow but we went to the pomona rv show 2 years ago but it wasnt a rv show but something giant rv was putting on.Sounded good in the add but with them being the only dealer it was not what we expected.We still bought something i think we did ok.

We just bought a toy hauler last month from Affordable RV in Corona. Good deal and easy to work with.
We stayed away from Weekend Warrior because of all the issues we have heard about. Besides that, I wanted to kick the guy in the junk at Giant in Corona. What a douchebag!!!
Here's what we got. 07 Redline 26' Frontbath. Most Cargo room in a 26' trailer we could find.

Any question we now ask Shawn of Giant RV's customer service about WW on GSSD.com he deletes.

TPC, Where did you find out that info about the 28%? I knew of a similar number, however it was a little less than 28.
On another note, I saw a new toyhauler as I was driving on the freeway, so I jumped off at the next exit and went to look at it. It was a X-Aire by Newmar. The exterior was the nicest and cleanest I have seen in a toyhauler. However, the MSRP was $99k and I didn't want to play the game for an hour with the guy to see what it could go down to. This is the Newmar I looked out and check out the rear door. You see no handles or springs or bars. http://www.newmarcorp.com/bin/images/misc/lg_XAFW_Galaxy.jpg

There is also another bad a$$ toy hauler I saw, which was a step above the Newmar. It was an Escalade by KZ. You can get a fireplace in it! Check this out and click on the different pictures. http://www.kz-rv.com/escalade_sp/highlights.html
These are all bigger than what Shadow is looking for, but what the heck, it is a toy hauler thread.

I check those out about a month ago. Very cool and really heavy. You need a truck like yours to pull it.
