My 1st truck camper was 89 Lance Squire ls3k, I rebuilt it, now I have 2023 palomino ss1500 TC, perfect timing coz I might upgrade to a toy hauler in the future, thks my friend 4 showing it🫡🤙🙏
That was amazing!! I would have never thought of looking at a toy hauler before this video. And what a great idea that someone who is mobility challenged could use this very easily with the ramp. Awesome Taylor. And thank YOU Colby.
Jocko Moto I’m a part-time wheelchair user and fulltime RV’err always looking toward what the future may hold so I’ve paid attention to wheelchair-accessible rvs. What I’ve seen people do is also have the wall to the bathroom in an rv taken out, or not put in at the factory in one case, so that the bathroom is accessible. Some fifth wheel toyhaulers have a second bathroom back in the toy space that can be modified “easily.” Someone else who was able to used a shop roller chair to access the bathroom. One of the Class A brands (sorry I don’t remember which) just started a standard line of accessible RVs with a wheelchair lift, and there’s also a lift that can be attached to the side of a class A for people who are able to stand on a small lift.
Please be aware that the ramp is not safe for a wheelchair The slope is too steep I resolve this issue by installing an ATV winch Thank you for the tour
I'm really starting to like the toy hauler concept even though I don't have a "toy" to haul. That "garage" space is just so useful. It is an office, gym, seating area, can be a deck, etc. It can also haul bikes, patio sets, lawnmowers, and other large items you might want to bring with. It can be used more like a traditional trailer too for trips to the hardware store to buy lumber or when you need to haul furniture. It really boosts the overall usefullness of the trailer by a lot over a typical closed setup back there.
We were pretty smitten with the First toy hauler we saw, but we eventually realized that only with the truck camper we could go anywhere! Thank you Taylor another great video.
Really glad Northwood hooked up with you, man. I love the blank canvas aspect of the toy hauler. I’m building a custom studio desk into the back of mine.
We just got a 2005 Desert Fox M38-5U 38’ toy hauler for the same reason. I have the space to set up a mini art studio in the back 12x7.5 area (I ship my work to galleries to sell) and my wife works at medical billing online (using a StarLink for internet). We can now live around the country 6 months at a time in the places we like. We will have the unit moved to new locations by a transport company that specializes in moving larger RVs and still keep our Suburban for driving around our new areas.
outlaw I know it’ll fit in a 27FS, it is extremely tight to fit a Maverick Max. Have to strap up the front wheels and come and turn the wheels a bit up by the stove and it will fit I believe.
Should have removed the black shades in back to get more light in. Should have lain on the king/queen? bed to give us a better idea of how a tall guy like myself might be more comfortable. I'm 74 inches and my problem is all RV's have the short 75 inch queen mattress not the normal 80 inch
Requested info from Northwoods. Sent me a brochure with all three models 21,24, and 27. Tried to order a 24. Never mind.......they don't make the 21 or 24 anymore.
Hmmmmm, my retirement trailer I'm thinking. The roof top ladder looks like it pulls out from the body some, do you know if that is true, or just how it looks in the video? Thanks Taylor, Wicked job as always!!!
I'm thinking this would make one heck of a basecamp while I take the F-350 with the Alaskan Camper a bit further for a couple days of off grid exploring. Reg Cab, gas engine, 4x4 with the Godzilla 7.3 v8. Although, I did see a GMC 3500 in the same config with the new 6.6 v8 in a cool looking dark, metallic brown with the right options for $44k. 2020 I know they are both great trucks...what to do?
Do you actually still live in Your truck camper?? Feels like that isn’t really a thing for you anymore but you still say you do. Just wondering thanks!!
I would love to see some of the smaller toy haulers. I have to $3,000 bikes that I worry about too much and it's just me and puppy but we go off grid for long periods
The bedroom was behind the door in the front. He didn't show it. The bigger toy haulers have a front bedroom so you can sleep without unloading your "toy".
Do people travel / live in these in the campgrounds, like folks with bigger campers & 5th wheels? Probably don't need as powerful of a truck, or maybe you do?
I like the thought of a toy hauler but the prices are absolutely insane for what u get. No engine no gears no computers like a car and prices similar if not higher.
Taylor, check your video light when you keep turning into partial light the video goes black and we can't see what you are displaying. How do you secure the back ramp/door when closed? Not looking for surprise visits anytime.
VERY nice (!)...but due to the tongue weight (1060lbs!) it'd take a larger truck than I thought. Even if it could handle the trailer's weight (6688lbs) it couldn't handle the high tongue weight. Specifically, I was thinking of a mid-size truck like the new Ford Ranger...even with it's high towing-capacity (7500lbs) the tongue weight woudl only be about 10% of that, meaning 750lbs or so -- not enough for this Desert Fox 21SW. So for a small TT (21' IS small), it needs a larger than mid-size truck to tow it safely...but some of us don't want a larger truck (for several reasons). :-( -- BR
Even if you think a Ranger could tow it COMPLETELY EMPTY, look at the GCVWR on the Ranger. Add the GVWR of the Ranger and GVWR of smallest Desert Fox at 25' of 10,400 and I'd bet you'd go WAY over. As for the weight, this is a Desert Fox, same construction as the Arctic Fox. Full aluminum frame, fully insulated. These two brands are expected to be heavier. I doubt you'll find a toy hauler that a Ranger can handle from any brand. Remember to look as the Gross Vehicle Weight. That combined with GVW on the Ranger is what will get you in trouble.
@@Adiscretefirm Then the Ranger (or any mid-size truck) would be out of the equation completely, even for this 21-footer as it's even heavier than I thought. -- BR
@@billredding2000 toy haulers large cargo capacity vs dry weight often makes them a candidate for a bigger truck than a camper of similar outside dimensions. I watched a video by a dealer about a "half ton towable!" hauler that had a GVWR over 11,000 lbs, that is really a 3/4 ton at least. Tow ratings are figured with flat trailers and small dense loads, just because your door sticker says 12000 does not mean you should hook a 12000 camper up and expect the higher center of gravity and big walls and nose catching wind to handle safely.
Question that I'm having trouble getting answered. We've been researching T.c. for a while now. The 865 A.F. T.C. has my attention. I have a 4×4 2017 Dodge Laramie 1 ton ext. Cab 8' bed. Artic fox advertises this 865 camper will fit on the truck. But a dealer I've talked to says it will NOT fit with a on board generator.. I have emailed Artic Fox a few weeks ago and to my surprise I've had no response at all... Im looking for a non-slide t.c. Will the 865 a.f. fit on my 2017 drw 1 ton 4×4 ext. Cab 8' bed, with the on board generator?..your my last hope in getting an opinion I can trust. The dealer I felt was trying to push me into another t.c. so..hopefully you'll clear this up for me. Or maybe not getting a response from the factory is a sign on customer service, who knows. Thanks for your time on these videos. Very well done.
Great video you doing a nice job! I try to watch them all Keep up the good work !! do they make a toy hauler in a 5th wheel ??? let me know in your next video thank"s
finally a toy hauler with a real sound system nice
My 1st truck camper was 89 Lance Squire ls3k, I rebuilt it, now I have 2023 palomino ss1500 TC, perfect timing coz I might upgrade to a toy hauler in the future, thks my friend 4 showing it🫡🤙🙏
Needs wall between living and garage area !!
That was amazing!! I would have never thought of looking at a toy hauler before this video. And what a great idea that someone who is mobility challenged could use this very easily with the ramp. Awesome Taylor. And thank YOU Colby.
My wife and I have been considering the 27FS. Not for hauling "toys" but potentially grandchildren. Great look, Taylor. Big thanks to Colby, too!
Im watching this video from the bedroom of my 27FS. We bought it because we have twin 4 year old boys. Works great for the kids....
Omg, the handicap accessibility is such a good point. Since I care for my handicap mother that is huge! Thank you so much for the video Taylor! 💖🙌

SpoonieRV oh that’s so cool, thank you spoonie for sharing that! I’ll definitely take that into consideration 🙏

The slope is too steep
I resolve this issue by installing an ATV winch

It’s always worth it for the future when that toy ends up in your hands lol 😂 u have the perfect trailer to haul it in
We were pretty smitten with the First toy hauler we saw, but we eventually realized that only with the truck camper we could go anywhere! Thank you Taylor another great video.
AMAZING. Looks almost exactly like every toy hauler I've seen for the past 15-years! Truly AMAZING !!
Really glad Northwood hooked up with you, man. I love the blank canvas aspect of the toy hauler. I’m building a custom studio desk into the back of mine.
Nice.....but those cupboards are right out of the 80s.
My fav unit and the review I’ve been waiting for. Thanks Taylor !
I like the “old fashioned” cabinetry in this trailer also the colorful fabrics on the upholstery.
I'd love Northwood to make a 5th wheel toy hauler. We would happily test it out!
They made a prototype but it didnt make it to production.
@@MrThiefHater Bummer. We love the brand, saw Outdoors makes a toy hauler now. They're too short for us.
We just got a 2005 Desert Fox M38-5U 38’ toy hauler for the same reason.

Amazing tour, I've never seen a toy hauler before. Looks like top quality stuff.
Nice to see you're back at it!! I always liked your style, welcome back!
Really good video they are a really high end builder, nothing like the Indiana stuff. Great quality production!
@ 0:00 Retired charter member of The Hounds of the Barrier.
I want this thing. Badly !
Thats what My daughter & I got after husband passed Daughter drives & hauls it
I absolutely LOVE this Toy hauler.!!!!! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Unfortunately, I bought one last year and had to compromise on it.
Looks like you have a new job as a saleman for Northwoods.
exactly!! i am already starting to think about buying one.. LOL
I like the 1st one you showed.
I've watched a few. So far you have the best show with good info
Can’t wait for you to get out there and do new videos
How long is the area to park your side-by-side ? Also what is the cost ?
If this can fit a 4 seater rzr, this is the perfect toy hauler!
outlaw I know it’ll fit in a 27FS, it is extremely tight to fit a Maverick Max. Have to strap up the front wheels and come and turn the wheels a bit up by the stove and it will fit I believe.
Finally a real review.

yet no pricing
That 32' is what I want!
Dude even dogs dig your Vibe!
Wow, that was amazing. Great campers.
Good video, we are presently looking at toy haulers, subscribed!
Taylor, when are you going to take out one of those big 5th wheel Arctic Fox campers and review it?
Not so nice when oil or gasoline smell is impregnated into the RV part without a wall
What a sweet rig !!! Skål !!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
how much and is it & is it sold in the USA?
wish those ramps weren't so steep
My aunt Kelly Sweeney has a camper just like that
My
Name is
Taylor, too.
Hmmmmm, my retirement trailer I'm thinking. The roof top ladder looks like it pulls out from the body some, do you know if that is true, or just how it looks in the video? Thanks Taylor, Wicked job as always!!!
I have a 27FS. It does pull out from the side.

Liked and Subscribed, cause you found the perfect hauler for me (the first one), if I had the money for it..
7
They pull great,,,love 5th wheels
I dont think its a 5th wheel
My wife would love that. Her maiden name was D. Fox. Too short for us though.
Boys love toys !
: very nice thanks for the tour
Man them are sweet. Just think Taylor you could live with your boat in your living room Lol. Keep Livin That Dream.
Do you actually still live in Your truck camper?? Feels like that isn’t really a thing for you anymore but you still say you do. Just wondering thanks!!
Loved the trailer, only one thing that caught my eye that I didnt like....the stove is right next to the couch, no splash guard or wall.
What’s the price? Love this one. Would my Tundra 4x4 king cab haul this? Thanks…great video. ❤😎
I would love to see some of the smaller toy haulers. I have to $3,000 bikes that I worry about too much and it's just me and puppy but we go off grid for long periods
That is a small toy hauler. It is a 21. There are other companies that make 17 foot single axle toy haulers that would be good for bicycles.
Real nice travel trailers.
Nice little hauler
Sweet.
Awesome!
That FS is nice. Wonder if it's made with Azdel. If so, I think I just found my next trailer.
Tanks don't freeze just the water lines in between artic fox freezes alao just the same.. sorry boys not four seasons..
Awesome tour man................I want one ...But the $$$..lol
Want one!!!!!!
Taylor can u put a link to the hat u wear in all of your videos
BUT HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?????
Can you drive over the inner fender well s with your toys?
Come on back T... Give an update something
You never showed the bedroom and the amenities it has... sorry for pointing it out.
The bedroom was in the ceiling, he didn’t forget to show that, but he did forget some amenities.
The bedroom was behind the door in the front. He didn't show it. The bigger toy haulers have a front bedroom so you can sleep without unloading your "toy".
So you can go glamping with your Sledneck buddies, hey? Highmarking ahoy!
This cool. But really wishing you did the outdoors rv toy hauler. Can’t find any anywhere to run through.
The only drawback to toy haulers is that it’s difficult to boondock. Most set up for beds only after you take out your toy.
I miss his videos.
What size is the cargo area I have a rzr 4 seater 77. 1/2 wide and 14’ long
Can I haul 2 Harley’s in it? One weight 700lb, another 900lb.
Watch for de lamination issues
Dang! That’s nice!
Nice!
probably costs what a house "should" cost !
It does 😂
Cab you haul this with a halfton?
I’d like to know if a Seadoo on a trailer would fit
What’s the price for one
Awesome video 👍
Do people travel / live in these in the campgrounds, like folks with bigger campers & 5th wheels? Probably don't need as powerful of a truck, or maybe you do?
I want that trailer now, selling my current trailer hopefully to find one. Also hope you are well. Cheers Mainland Steele.

It locks
what about the master bedroom?
is there such a thing as 4 season toy hauler for Snowmobiling? 40c for us Canadians.

Supreme!
I will have check them out. Thank you for the information.
I have this! It is awesome. Its such a great boondocker. Huge tanks. Huge gas tank.
And... no toys.
tall bike guy nope
tall bike guy just you? Probably.
I just sold mine.
I wanted something smaller. It did set the benchmark for boondocking and power needs.
Can I fit my kubota RTV 1140
Great video you doing a nice job! I try to watch them all Keep up the good work !! do they make a toy hauler in a 5th wheel ??? let me know in your next video thank"s
As of right now, Northwood only makes toy haulers under the Desert Fox brand, and they're all conventional tow.
What toy hauler is it
Really nice
Price?
