Complete newbie to toy haulers. Been shopping for a small TH to haul my kawasaki tyrex sxs. My tow vehicle is a 31ft class C Motor home. The tyrex is 10ft long, 62 inches wide and 75 inches tall. We need a front bed. Kitchen facility's not important.
Where should I look? TIA

Look at a box or open trailer to tow behind that.
If you want to tow something heavy, gotta move up to a Class A.
Even most class A have a 5k lbs tow rating until you get to the diesel pushers then most are in the 10-15k range but even some older ones are only rated at 5k. There are a couple of new gassers that have around 7k tow rating.


I guess I should have been more specific, none of the Class A's I camp with have gas motors.
They are all the big boys towing 25' stackers that weigh 15,000lbs.
They have no issue behind their Class A's.

But I still stand behind what I said, no Class C should be hauling a decent size toy hauler.
Enclosed, yes.

Look at Carson, Dune sport, featherlite and have them add the features you want to one of their enclosed trailers. Not sure of the temperatures you camp in but in addition to furniture may need to consider heating and cooling.

There was a very small Toy Hauler made in So Cal called a Rebel. I believe Carson Trailer made it. A friend had one and it had all the amenities but was only about 18' long. You might find one if you do a search. Don't know what it weighs.

I have an enclosed trailer with a couple folding couch/beds similar to these folding bed and an air mattress that we use an "guest quarters" for the kids/friends.

Trailer is 2200lbs, stuff inside Rhino, 2 dirt bikes, gear, 20 gals gas, tools I haven't weighed it but I figure I am at about the 5000 lbs the RV is rated for.

You are not going to find a true TH that will fit the teryx and be within the weight you need.

If all you need is a bedroom why not a small box trailer and put some drop down beds in it? Could cut in a window and get one with a side door.

Assuming your Class C has the "normal" 5,000 pound tow rating I think you might be asking a lot. It looks like your Kawasaki weighs a big over 1,600 pounds. That leave less than 3,400 for the trailer and whatever else you put in it.

Take a look at the KZ Sportman 18TH - 3,800 lbs from the factory;
I've had one for 2 years now - it's so light it tows like a dream;
1 queen bed, 1 single bed, 1 pull-down sofa bed, shower/toilet/sink/cooker etc
Big water tanks.......

What is the tow rating of your Class C? Some only have 5000 lb capacities which really limit any true toy hauler choice.

Rv type trailer is what I'm shopping for. We need basically a second bedroom for kids and grand kids when we camp.
