Five Affordable Toy Haulers for 2027

You do not need a huge fifth wheel to bring along your dirt bike or ATV. These smaller toy haulers combine a garage with comfortable living space.

Toy haulers combine living quarters with a rear garage for dirt bikes, ATVs, kayaks or mountain bikes. Many are large and expensive, but several compact models keep both weight and price reasonable.

1. inTech Flyer Explore

This micro toy hauler is built on a welded aluminum cage frame, keeping it light yet tough. Its rear ramp handles a dirt bike or small ATV, and tip-out sides add sleeping space when parked.

2. KZ Sportsmen Classic 180TH

A traditional trailer with an indoor bathroom, kitchenette and air conditioning. The garage area has fold-up benches that double as a dining space. It can be towed by many mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks.

3. Forest River No Boundaries

Lightweight composite construction and all-terrain tires give it real backroad ability. Flexible interiors convert between gear storage and living space.

4. Coachmen Catalina toy hauler models

Larger than the options above, but still affordable, with full bathrooms and power ramp doors on some models.

5. Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro toy hauler

A smaller toy hauler with a front bed, rear garage and good off-grid packages.

Buying tips

Check the garage length and ramp weight rating against the toys you plan to carry. Add the weight of fuel, water and gear to see your true loaded weight. Prices change frequently, so confirm MSRP and dealer pricing before you buy.
