When Bike Week comes around we need to haul our bikes down to FLA. There are times when we just want to camp in comfort (ie ABATE field meet). So we are getting rid of our current Toy Hauler and getting a larger, more comfortable trailer. We had decided on a Forest River Grey Wolf 26RR, but it isn't "load friendly" without adding ramp accessories. So our next choice is the 25 ft. Canyon Cat. Almost as luxurious, sleeps six, and no loading modifications. Take a look at our current contender:      |

Very nice...looked at the TH's the past couple of years...just need to check the tie down locations...I have a 99 IS and well...it gets a little tight with the inside walls when double loading BIG bikes.
Good luck with your selection....they are all very nice...

Now it's just a matter of making your choice. No slides, no leaks.

nice, very open and roomy and uncluttered. I like the design layout and modern looking features. Ever thought on buying a used toyhauler say off craigslist or dealer? I would think near like new, but saving thousands off new?
I had a quick chance at a used toyhauler was much older, but pics seem to be well taken care of for around 6-7 grand is all, not as big though. It had all I would want and nothing fancy in hopes 2 full sized ATV's would fit inside somehow. Unfortunately, a local craigslist shopper snatched it up the very next day. It even had aluminum diamond plating on floor in back for easier muddy cleanup of toys.
Gotta go get them good deals when you can ASAP or they will be gone the very next day.

My current Toy Hauler is a 17 ft and it was set up to haul two Interstates although I only own one. We took my I/S and my 98 Rat Rod to both Inzanes in Bellaire MI. And in 2013 we took my 97 Bobber and my 98 Rat Rod to Daytona Bike Week. The trick is to have your wheel chocks staggered. |

I'm limited on towing to 5k...not much I know, but probably enough for my needs. I've recently started to look around. |

I went to the RV dealer today and was going to pay for the Canyon Cat and the owner of the dealership said that he has another person interested in the TH that I was going to buy. He pulled me into his office and said that if I could wait another six weeks, that he could get me a 2016 that has more upgrades and a few "one off" custom features from a dealer show trailer for the same price as the 2015 model. What could I say(?),.......OK lets do it!!!   Will be scheduled to be built on 6/10/15 and to be delivered on 6/15/15. Whooo Hooo!!!!! |
