My 30' Gearbox. Haven't weighed it yet, but imagine it's close to 13k loaded with all our toys.

Three Quads: My 05 Suzuki LT-R450, and my wife and daughters Honda TRX 250's.
Looking to sell mine though, and get one of those Polaris Rzr's since I'm getting too old to take the beating of a quad.

Cool ! and that all fits in there ?!?

I looked long and hard at a tow hauler, but the wife wanted more of a 'luxury' look rather than the 'utility' look of the ones we looked at....

I told her let's go look at other mfg's dealers, but NO :) she wanted THAT 5th wheel with the fancy cabinets that she never uses and .... and .... :)

now she's wants something else ! 1 month in her first tt, 1 year in her first 5er, now what ?!?!
(at least (so far!) I get to stay around and haven't been traded in on the newer model !!!)

There are some really nice high end toyhaulers now. My buddy just bought a fusion 390 and the darn thing has 2 bathrooms and a fireplace!

With plenty of room to spare. I've thrown in my buddies Raptor 80 quad as well (sideways). That generation Gearbox though is one of the heaviest toy hauler, tow trailers made. 1400lbs on the tongue alone. I'm creeping up the grades when fully loaded (Vasco grade, Vargas grade, and whatever that monster grade is on 101 in San Luis Obispo that seems to go on forever!). I fill the water tanks and fuel station when I reach my destination. Our next will be a 5th wheel for sure.

And I thought I had to plan out my fuel/food stops. You must have to send in a seal team to clear out the damn parking lots.

hehe thats my favorite place to fill mine up.. nothing like parking next to an 18 wheeler when your rig only has 6 lol.. had some interesting looks the one time i did that... using their bigger squeegee helps cleaning the windows too lol..
