My New (Old) Toyhauler

[CarlS]

I pulled the trigger and bought a 2008 42 foot fifth wheel toyhauler yesterday; I came across it during Bike Week. It is Weekend Warrior, Full Throttle FTL 4005. I have a 23 foot fifth wheel travel trailer now; but I "need" a toyhauler.

It is fully equipped:
5.5 kw gasoline Onan generator with 30 gallon gasoline tank.
Fuel station with 40 gallon gasoline tank and pump.
AM/FM CD system with outdoor speakers.
Meagwatt Kicker sound system
42 inch flatscreen TV in living room.
19 inch TV with DVD player in bedroom.
Heated tanks for fresh water (100 gallons), blackwater storage (50 gallons), graywater storage (50 gallons).
1000 watt inverter.
AC and furnace
Ice maker
Queen size bed in master bedroom
Queen size bunk over garage.

The garage is 12 feet deep and 8 feet wide.

The pics are not of the one I bought; they are from the website.

Living room looking toward the rear. The door is the door to the garage. You can see the bunk bed over the garage.

Wow! Did you hit the lottery!?

I assume the refrig runs on AC/DC/ and Propane?

Now you get the fun of dumping the blackwater tank!! BTW....does it have an indicator to let you know how full the black/gray water tanks are?

Dave, I pull it with my Ford F-350 diesel dually. This not my truck. I don't have any photos of it here. Mine is red.

Nice one
that'll keep you entertained.
Now,ya not doin an olaf on us are you ?

 

[CarlS]

LOL! Nope I will take some photos of it when I pick it up - with me standing beside it!

 

[DaveM]

That sure is COOL

But if the guy standing by the rig looks too much like George Clooney, I'm going to suspect something

WARNING: Don't ever forget to retract the TV antennae when you pull out!

My Wife did that with our motor home and it wasn't cheap to repair both the antennae or the damage to the roof.

good one Rocky

I wish I had hit the lottery!! I am selling my 23 footer and my F-150.

The refrig is 120 AC or propane. It does not run on DC. There is an indicator for all three tanks: freshwater, blackwater, and graywater. There is also an indicator for the fuel level for the generator tank and the fuel station tank.

Wow, I'm impressed

Thanks Rocky, now if I can only afford the diesel to actually tow it!

 

[CarlS]

That sure is COOL

Thanks, Dave; I have been wanting one for a long time. My GF has a lot near New Smyrna Beach where we can park it and be close to the ocean. We can take both bikes with us and have a good time over there.

I have to practice my photoshopping...

I have seen that happen; but I have never done it. I use a checklist before driving away.

With the ability to take the bikes with you,you will have an absolute ball Carl,and God knows,you deserve it.
Well done and a great choice.
Did your 23 footer have the bike carrying ability?

 

[CarlS]

Thank you very much, Harry. No, it did not and from day one I regretted not buying a toyhauler.

 

[Sea Dog]

That's awesome Carl. You are getting into some serious toys now! You need plenty of space to park it, that is unless you intend being on the road for a long time.

 

[otherwise]

You can deny it all day long but I know you won the lottery.

I really look forward to future posts about Carl and the other rich people on the open road.
