If you ride, race, or haul gear, the first decision isn't which model — it's which type. A travel trailer and a toy hauler can look similar parked side by side, but they solve different problems. Here's how to decide.
The core difference
A travel trailer is built entirely for living space — beds, kitchen, bathroom, lounge. A toy hauler trades part of that living space for a reinforced cargo bay with a fold-down ramp, so you can load motorcycles, ATVs, e-bikes, or dirt bikes inside and still have a place to sleep.
Head to head
| Travel Trailer | Toy Hauler | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Couples & families | Riders & gear haulers |
| Cargo | Storage only | Dedicated cargo bay + ramp |
| Living space | Maximized | Shared with garage |
| Black Series models | HQ12–HQ21 | TH19 & TH22 |
When to choose a travel trailer
If you don't need to carry powered toys, a travel trailer gives you more dedicated living space for the same footprint. The Black Series HQ line sleeps 3–5 with full bathrooms, kitchens, and off-grid power — from the compact HQ12 ($49,899) to the flagship HQ21 ($69,899).
When to choose a toy hauler
If your trips revolve around what you ride, a toy hauler earns its space. Black Series toy haulers both sleep 6 and carry your gear on the same expedition-grade chassis and off-grid systems as our travel trailers:
- TH19 — sleeps 6, cargo bay for bikes and ATVs. From $59,899.
- TH22 — sleeps 6, a massive cargo bay for larger toys, full off-grid systems. From $69,899.
Don't forget off-grid capability
For off-road use, the type matters less than the build underneath it. Whichever you choose, look for a galvanized steel chassis, independent off-road suspension, solar-and-inverter power, and real water capacity — so you can basecamp anywhere, with or without your toys.
The bottom line
Carrying powered toys? Toy hauler. Everyone else is usually better served by the extra living space of a travel trailer. Compare the full Black Series lineup to match a layout to how you travel.
