I like the options and floor plan of the Raptor, its an expensive beast. The things that are different are whether you get a straight through type or one with a garage in the back. By straight through I mean that there is no partitioning wall separating the living area from the area you haul the atv'/motorcycle. Mine is a straight through, I can put 3 full size quads, 2 youth atv's and 2 motorcylcles in mine.

The Keyston Fuzion is another one that has great options and different floor plans...these trailers are $55k to $75k...they are not cheap!

There are a lot of things to consider when buying, look at the belly storage and make sure there are no pipes and vents hindering the storage area. My trailer has the toilet drain pipe running through the middle of one storage compartment and the shower drain running through the middle of the other one. Very poor design. I didn't look at it closely when I bought it.

Other differences are double or triple axle, usually most toyhaulers that are over 32' have triple axles, but not all. There could be a book written on all the things to consider in my opinion.

 

55-75 used? I am looking at spending 20.

 

No not used, that's new. Not sure what one would be used...

There are a lot different models out there to choose from, I named the most popular and nicest featured one's. Several manufacturer's have some sort of toyhauler....

Figure out if you want a bumper pull or fifth wheel and then start looking at "RV Trader" online and look at ebay as well...you'll definitely find a great trailer used trailer for 20.

 

I am not sure on the hitch type, 5th is nice because you can pull a bigger trailer and it will handle nicer but then you dont have a bed, so I might go with bumper. Just depends on if I can squeeze a wide tool box and fuel tank infront of the 5th.

 

Do you have a longbed (LB) or shortbed (SB)?

 

Its a long bed, its in my sig. I am hoping to be able to have a custom made 150-200 gallon fuel tank built and then put an extra wide tool box in there and still have room for a 5th wheel but I dont think I have that much room. That would take up about 42-48" from the front inside of the bed. The axle is about 52" from the front inside of the bed. Need to know how much room a 5th wheel actually takes up, like how far infront of the axel is the furthest most point, or if it is the same bed, how far from the front inside of the bed is the furthest forward point. Then I can make a custom tank to fit.

 

I have a SB, so my 5'er hitch sits right on top of the axles, damn near centered front to back and its a sliding hitch so the trailer doesn't hit the cab when I turn. I have 31 1/2 inches from the front of my bed to the front of 5'er hitch. I would imagine you could add another 18 inches or so to that for having a long bed.

 

That 31.5", is that to the 5th wheel plate where the king pin is or to the mounting legs that extend further to the front?

 

That's to the mounting frame that sits on the floor bed...the 5'er plate sits at 33".

 

I just got back from town and measured a 5th, it protrudes 12" to the front, and if you mount it 2" to the front of center over the axle that leaves me 38" to play with, only enough to mount a standard tank.
