  • 5 Alternative Uses for a Toy Hauler Garage

    A toy hauler’s garage gives it a level of versatility that simply isn’t found in most other RVs. Designed for transporting an ATV, motorcycles, bikes, and other gear, most garages convert into a bedroom or lounge when empty. But with a bit of creativity, that same space can be used for a variety of other purposes. Here are a few suggestions you might want to consider.

    A Work-From-Anywhere Office

    Many RV owners are lucky enough to have jobs that allow them to work from anywhere. Having a dedicated office not only improves productivity but also makes it easier to separate work from relaxation and play.

    The additional space a toy hauler garage provides makes it easy to create an office environment. In most cases, the garage is closed off from the rest of the RV, providing additional privacy for those all-important Zoom calls and meetings. Personalize the space by adding a desk, a comfortable office chair, and by mounting monitors on the wall and connecting a printer. Filing cabinets, Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and an easily-accessible power strip are also nice additions.

    Turn the Garage into a Gym

    RVing is meant to be relaxing, which can make it a challenge to maintain your usual exercise routine while on the road. But converting your toy hauler’s garage to a gym can add a healthy dose of motivation, not to mention convenience. Throw down a couple of exercise mats for pre-workout stretching or a full yoga session. It is also easy to add weights, resistance bands, kettlebells, a jump rope, or even a compact treadmill or stationary bike, provided you secure everything while in transit. Essentially, anything your home gym might have is also possible in your toy hauler.

    Extra Storage Space

    By its very definition, a toy hauler garage is a storage space, albeit one designed for an ATV, golf cart, kayaks, or other “toys.” But storage is always at a premium in any RV, making it a no-brainer to use the additional space for carrying more stuff. Add dressers, luggage, a rolling clothing rack, plastic storage tubs, or even a firearms safe.

    Obviously, everything needs to be secure while traveling, but the extra room can make a huge difference in what you can bring along and what needs to stay at home. And having a space for bulk storage always comes in handy.

    A Kid-Focused Playroom/Lounge

    As noted above, a toy hauler garage often serves as an extra lounge area, in addition to the main living room found inside the vehicle. But if you travel as a family, it is nice to utilize that space specifically for kids, giving them their own place to relax and play. Options include adding a rug to the floor and incorporating kid-friendly furniture, like bean bag chairs and a table for playing games. For older kids, consider connecting a video game system to the TV. You can even go all-out by painting the room with whimsical colors and patters, replacing the blinds with colorful curtains, and stringing up fun, mood-setting lights. In other words, let your imagination run wild. The little ones will love it.

    Hobby/Craft/Game/Rec Room

    Living for extended periods—or even going full-time—in an RV often means having to give up on some of your favorite hobbies and activities simply because there isn’t enough room. But, as we’ve already established, a toy hauler garage does offer extra space that can be used to continue those pursuits. For instance, you can set up a craft room for sewing, knitting, and quilting. Why not create an art studio for painting or sculpting? Convert the garage into a game room or make it the ultimate fan cave for watching your favorite teams play.

    Think of the garage as a blank canvas, allowing you to utilize it anyway you choose. That versatility is what makes toy haulers so popular, even if someone isn’t planning on filling it up with motorized vehicles, ebikes, and outdoor gear. If you are bringing those kinds of toys along with you, the extra items will need to be able to be packed away while in transit, but other than that, the sky is the limit. Get creative and make the extra space your own. It will only further enrich your travels and make life on the road that much better.

  • Buyer’s Guide: Toy Haulers Make for a Haul of a Good Time

    An RV is an essential base camp for many travelers, a rig that brings them closer to the next trailhead but not one they take too deep into the woods. As such, folks often seek ways to bring ATVs, dirt bikes, mountain bikes, snowmobiles and other auxiliary vehicles along. The large rear garage space found in toy haulers makes this possible—plus, it can transform into a patio, office, play space or a guest bedroom depending on the design. Here, we take a look at four options with modular spaces for any brand of adventure.

  • Video: The Keystone Raptor 441 is a Luxury Toy Hauler for Your Gear and Family

    Luxury toy haulers don’t come much more well designed and equipped than the 2025 Keystone Raptor 441. This fifth-wheel trailer includes everything you would expect from such a model, including an expansive garage, a large living space, and a spacious kitchen. But it also has a few surprises that make it stand out from the competition, including a lofted sleeping space that gives it room to comfortably sleep up to eight people.

    The video above takes us on a tour of this 44′ 9″ towable, giving us a thorough look at the luxury toy hauler, inside and out. That includes an interior walk-through that starts on the rear party deck before moving into the 14′ garage, complete with frame-welded tie-downs to keep all of your precious cargo in place. That same garage doubles as a secondary living room with twin opposing sofas that convert into a queen-size bed. You’ll also find a set of lofted bunks in this space with room for two more passengers. Keystone also offers an optional upgrade that adds a half-bath in garage area.

    Moving to the middle of the trailer, you’ll find the primary living room/entertainment area alongside a kitchen that has to be seen to be believed. Highlights in this section include a large L-shaped couch that converts into yet another bed, along with a smart TV and sound bar mounted over a fireplace. Nearby, a dinette table with freestanding wooden chairs sits adjacent to the kitchen, which features abundant solid surface counter tops, hardwood cabinets, a four-burner stove with an oven, a convection microwave, a farmhouse-style stainless steel sink, and a massive 20 cubic-foot residential-style refrigerator.

    Finally, the front of the Keystone Raptor 441 is home to the primary bedroom suite, which is just as airy and luxurious as the rest of the rig. It comes with a king-size bed, a headboard with integrated lighting, a built-in dresser, a smart TV, and a large closet. Of course, it also includes washer/dryer prep and sits beside the bathroom with a porcelain toilet, sink, linen closet, and a shower to rival the one back home.

    Moving outside, the Raptor 441 is just as impressive. The floor plan include two separate side entrances, along with the sliding doors found in back off the retractable deck. It also comes with three Omni-Chill 3/4-ton air conditioner units, 35k BTU gas furnace, a tankless water heater, and heated and lit cargo areas. And outdoor shower also comes standard, as does a Furrion wireless backup camera, a six-point hydraulic automatic leveling system, and no fewer than three awnings.

    As usual, just writing about all of those features hardly does the toy hauler justice. Watching the video will not only give you a firsthand look at the trailer, but will also show tons of other nice features. If you’re in the market for a fifth-wheel with plenty of room for your family and gear, you’ll definitely want to give this one a look. But even if you just appreciate outstanding RV design and build quality, you’ll be super impressed as well.

    The Keystone Raptor 441 starts at $160,690. To learn more, and view other Raptor floor plans, visit keystonerv.com

    The Alpine & Alpine Avalanche Four Season Fifth Wheels

    When you want to live the RV life, the change of seasons can get in the way. But not with Poulsbo RVs newest Keystones: the Alpine and the Alpine Avalanche. These Fifth Wheels are ready to travel the world wherever and whenever you are.

    The Keystone Alpine

    The Alpine is an embodiment of contemporary design and unparalleled innovation, where luxury meets cutting-edge technology to create an experience that is as fresh as it is unforgettable. With sleek lines, smart features, and ultimate-luxury amenities standard, Alpine Fifth wheels are an *excellent* choice for the four-season RV lifestyle.

    One of the most striking features? The Keystone Wide Body 100” construction. The inside *feels big* and the carefully placed windows provide light and air rare in any RV!

    Then there are all the innovative options! These include the one-touch six-point level-up system to provide camping ease. The full body paint protects MAX TURN high-gloss fiber glass front cap. With an impressive list of industry-leading advancements including features such as SolarFlex™ high-quality RV solar energy systems, Equa-Flex suspension, Therma-Shield holding tank protection system, Heated and enclosed underbelly, Astro foil reflective layer on roof, front and rear walls, and Insulation in the floor wrapped in Darco protective fabric, and more–Alpine sets the bar for four-season living.

    The Keystone Alpine Avalanche Edition

    The Avalanche Edition of the Keystone Alpine has the same bones as its sibling: the same Wide Body construction and spacious interior, the same SolarFlex™ system, the same Polar Pack for four-season living, and the same Residential kitchen and Theater-system living room with the plushest of seating and a 4K 65” television. Even the bathrooms in all Alpines are Residential and equipped with tankless heaters!

    Bunkhouse versions have sleeping space for as many as 9. Couples double-bedroom suites both have full en suite baths. *ALL* Alpines are built for full-on, five-star hotel luxury.

    So what makes an Avalanche different? A slightly shorter floorplan and a lower price. That’s all. So if you feel uncomfortable towing a longer fifth wheel (or if your budget needs a little more leeway) then the Avalanche is how you can have the full Alpine experience without any downsides.

    The Arcadia Fifth Wheel

    Just in time for Spring daydreaming! As the days get colder and grayer, and the sun sets before we even get home, we’ve brought on the spring! With the Keystone Arcadia line, you can start your Spring planning now!

    The Arcadia Fifth Wheel line is our newest Keystone, including the Super Lite and the ultra-affordable Arcadia Select.

    Arcadia’s philosophy is simple: no matter the floorplan, the fundamentals remain the same. These stunning Super Lite models offer Arcadia’s signature, but in lighter, easy-to-tow lengths. It’s a new approach for RVs in this weight class, and we think you’re going to love it.

     Let’s start with their Keystone weathertight build. Keystone tests *ALL* its RVs in their cold chamber, certifying them down to 0° F. So you can start the RVing season early, and end it late. It’s all part of their Peak Weather Protection Package, which includes:

    ·  35,000 BTUs high output furnace

    ·  Fully enclosed, insulated holding tanks with 12V heat pads

    ·  Reflective insulation in floor, roof, and front wall

    ·  Electric fireplace with 5,100BTU of heat

    ·  BladePure™ High Performance ducting with Merv-9 filter

    ·  Heated Pass-Thru storage

    ·  Nautilus Water Management System

    There there’s the floor.  The high-performance, water resistant floor.

    Stronger, lighter and more resilient than traditional wood laminated flooring, Keystone’s exclusive HyperDeck™ is an excellent example of how the Keystone Innovation Lab challenges industry norms to build better RV’s. By its nature, traditional wood floor construction presents the possibility of taking on water, key for RV owners who need to remain vigilant to keep moisture out of their coaches. Hyperdeck replaces wood with 100% inorganic materials, designed to resist water and water damage.

    The presence of a Girard Tankless Water Heater is a luxury for some, but it’s the sort that quickly turns into a necessity. The advantages include:

    • 42,000 BTUs provides the optimum performance for an RV’s plumbing
    • No special LP gas lines or special plumbing required
    • Quiet, brushless motor
    • 12V power operates at less than 3 AMPs
    • Freeze protection enables reliable winter use
    • Designed specifically for recreational vehicles
    • Compact design – fits in any tank water heater cut-out opening

    Add in the impossibly versatile, exceptionally designed, SolarFlex  Solar Energy and you have a  system that’s shattering customers’ expectations of factory solar power. SolarFlex™ eliminates the guesswork, delivering affordable, high-quality RV solar energy systems.

    Finally — and perhaps best of all – is the Curt ARV pin box. With its unique pivoting pin design, Arcadia’s ARV pin box minimizes fore-to-aft chucking for safer towing. Flexible, rubberized grommets at all attachment points reduce vibration by 50%, eliminating wear and tear on your RV.

    As for the Interior, take a look for yourself. Whether it’s the Arcadia Super-Lite or the Arcadia Select, you’ll find beautiful, well-built interiors with plenty of high-end amenities. Easy to tow, easy to enjoy, this might be the perfect Fifth Wheel for you. Come in and take a look for yourself.

    The Reign Travel Trailer

    The Reign is an all-new, ergonomically designed, premium single-axle travel trailer, built to elevate your camping experience with its compact layout and impressive features.

    To start with, the body and skin of the Reign is a brilliant new design: the outer layer is an exclusive automotive-finished laminate of sheet of aluminum. That’s where much of the lightweight, wood-less structure comes from. No wood? That means no rot is even possible.

    No Aluminum studs? One of the big advantages of this type of build is that it’s both strong and light, much like traditional Azdel-style laminated walls. But the aluminum studs are a poor insulator so there are times you can literally “see” them if the temperature is just right. 

    So, not only is this a strong built but there are fewer thermal losses.

    The unique wall construction is built on a B-A-L frame. The significance of that is that these frames are bolted together with huck bolts rather than being welded. These frames are stronger and more watertight.

    Then there’s the ride. Equipped with Dexter’s Torflex® torsion axles, campers will appreciate a smoother ride, minimizing road shock and vehicle damage over time.

    Inside the Reign

    If you like that sleek, clean European RV style, you are going to love the interior of the Reign. It’s bright and cozy, and the 78″ interior height will give you plenty of space to move about.

    You will also enjoy the ultrabright LED light strip and solid surface countertops in the kitchen, along with a large 12-volt refrigerator. A two-burner cooktop and air fryer/convection microwave will let you cook meals each day, and there is a huge countertop plus a flip-up extension for even more prep space. The fireplace is sure to make your RV feel like home!

    The flip-down Murphy Bed will complete your day easily, while leaving plenty of space during the day.

    Reign Interior Features

    If you’re looking for a camper that will last, provide clean interior and exterior style, and offers Keystone’s quality build and features, come in or call, and ask us more. We’ll be glad to talk about the Reign all day.
