TH19 vs. HQ17: Toy Hauler or Family Camper?

Article published at: Jun 20, 2026

The TH19 and HQ17 start at the same base price of $59,899, but they answer two different questions. The TH19 asks, "Where do I put my toys?" The HQ17 asks, "Where do the kids sleep?" Figure out which question is yours and the choice gets easy.

Choose the TH19 if…

  • You ride — bikes, ATVs, or side-by-sides — and need a garage with a tough diamond-plate floor to carry them off-grid.
  • You want a space that doubles as cargo and living, and sleeps up to six.
  • Your trips are built around the toys, not just the campsite.

See the TH19 product page for full details.

Choose the HQ17 if…

  • You're traveling as a family and want purpose-built living space with a queen, two bunks, and a convertible lounge.
  • You don't haul motorized toys and would rather have a dedicated, comfortable interior than a garage.
  • Kid-friendly sleeping matters more than cargo capacity.
