I have a new commander coming in this week. Would like to find a small toy hauler/camper that will accommodate the side by side. Does anyone have suggestions? looking around a little online, seems like all the haulers are too big or not tall enough ..........

It's all about personal preference. I started with a cargo trailer, then 23' camp trailer, then 28' toy hauler and now the 40' 5th wheel my friends call the Black Mamba. I highly recommend going Black Mamba style

Well. Then my next bit of advice is to live on Craigslist. There are always deals. And thoroughly check out whatever you buy.

Is that a 6" exhaust stack in the bed? Probably got triple turbos and a 300 gallon fuel tank to drag that behemoth!!

Hey Jason, when do you plan on going with a large fiver instead of that one!?

Jerry, Most of the new haulers I thought had rear decks high enough for most UTV's...maybe I am wrong though. Maybe something like this would interest you (although I am not sure of the width, therefore, while I have seen Rzr's on them, never a Commander)? From what I have seen, however, they are sometimes just as expensive as a toy hauler.



Obviously your budget is going to make a difference in what you can get, as well as what you plan on towing it with.

I used to have a tent trailer and while it did its job for the most part, a trailer with true walls is definitely a lot nicer!

I grew up camping in a tent trailer. They make them pretty nice now. I would definately consider something like that if space at home was an issue

I'll tell you one thing that I LOVED about my tent trailer, with the desert lift on it I could pretty much take it anywhere! Can't say the same for my 36' foot fiver.

If I were single or just had the wife and me, a cab over would be perfect! Then you can just tow a small utility trailer and you are good to go!
