The fun started to roll then. Good thing is with selling a few of the toys we will be debt free by the end of summer so that will feel good.

Well that is hard to argue with. I understand completely.

Yeah, it will make someone a nice trailer. Ive dropped some coin into it since buying it. If I can sell my Jeep first, then I can keep the trailer. Just depends what sells first.

So now that the wife has been back home and the State of Kentucky has lost yet another title on a new purchase it has given me more time to work on the toy hauler and try to get the wife to calm down.  Things are starting to look good as we are taking it out as a family this weekend for some park and camp.

Ripped up the old flooring and put down some roll garage flooring.

Started laying 3M grip tape on the back deck.

Installed a floor table and let the little girl play on her bed.

Installed over the weekend a Fantastic powered 2 way vent with vent cover to keep it open when it rains.

Yeah, we are hoping to go down to Renfro Valley this weekend or Levi Jackson this weekend.  Just depends who has a slot open for a single night stay.


I was re-reading some of the earlier posts and forgot to mention that I took it over the scales when I left Trails End last time.  My RZR was on my 16" foot trailer and my dad hauled it down since we were bringing two.  So Toy hauler with no RZR but full of camping gear and my truck weighed in at 12,680 lbs.

Truck 7,900 lbs
Trailer 4,780 lbs

So add on the weight of the RZR and I'll still be about 1,000 lbs under the axle weight limit of 7,000 lbs.

I got a few hrs on Sunday between the rain to do some more work on the toy hauler. Basically finished up the entertainment center. Installed a digital voltage gauge since I don't have my 3 way hooked up yet. Also found some old 5.5" weather proof speakers in the garage that I ran in the RZR for a while that was a perfect fit for the front of the bench. Also, added to quick connect speaker wire ports for some more speakers I found in the garage. I can then plug these in, put them outside and flip on just the outside channel for listening to music outside. All I need now is to pick up a flat panel TV for the girls.

On a side note, I took my wife and daughter down to Renfro Valley KOA in it 2 weekends ago and it was almost perfect. They had a great time but the best part was about 10:30 when we were getting into bed it came a massive downpour. Rained about 1" that night. We stayed good and dry and slept like champs. Momma said I can keep it finally so heading to Camping World on Wednesday in Bowling Green since I have a business trip there and pick up some more parts.

Cool. BTW if you want some outside speakers that you can just leave hooked up you might want to try what I did. I picked up some cheap 6x9 carpeted speaker boxes at walmart coated them in a couple layers of fiberglass resin. Mount the boxes under the floor pointed down. I stuck some 25 dollar marine 6x9s from amazon in the boxes. Sounds very good and the speakers have held up to plenty of miles on the road so far.

That is a great idea. I actually have a set of those speaker enclosures under my computer desk that I could use. They make great foot stools.

No real updates since I have been busy building a club house/play set for my daughter but did add a 24" Vizio smart LED TV last weekend to the Toy Hauler. Taking the wife and daughter back out next weekend in it to get some time away with them. Looking forward to it.

I need to get back to work on the toy hauler. I've been building this play house/swing set for my daughter the past 5-6 weekends.

Yeah, it is going to be pretty slick. It has a 2'x8' sandbox/table on the right side at ground level. A rock climbing wall on the left side. 2 slides. a trap door in the club house. a 6'x8' deck. A chain bridge on the bottom level to ground level. Some swings off to the right and possibly a draw bridge coming off of the deck to the top of the hill so the dogs can go up with her.

Wish I had something like this as a kid. I might end up getting more use out of it than her.

Had an interesting thing happen today.  For the last 2 months worth of weekends I have been working on my daughters play set in the backyard and my wife asked if we could go camping one more time this year before it gets cold.  I told her no problem so booked a weekend over Halloween to go to the KOA and do camping and trick or treating.

On a side note, my daughter and I have been getting a lot of use out of it while driveway camping.

Spent a bit of time working on the Toy Hauler on Sunday.

Finally added the articulating mount for the LED TV.

Added a step at the main door.

Modified one of the fold out beds to fit a full size mattress for when Momma goes in the camper and added some more tie downs in the floor for the RZR.

Nothing really new to report except for got it winterized a few weeks back and covered it up for a long winters nap.

When spring comes around I will be putting new tires on it and replacing the awning fabric and it will be ready for another season.

Getting to that time of year again to start getting the toy hauler ready for the season. Been collecting more parts over the winter and will now have a fold up jack knife couch, LED interior lighting, some little odds and ends as well as a new set of Maxxis M8008 trailer tires on the way. Amazon had the best deal I could find and can't beat the free shipping. Stepped up and D rated tires this time around as I wasn't sold on the C rated Goodyear Marathons that are on there now.

What new/used one did you go with Gimpy? I am really liking this XLR and the price is right but my RZR is about 8" too long for the garage.
