Tips for Loading a Toy Hauler Properly

Before you can hit the road with your toy hauler, you’ll need to pack up all your supplies for your trip. This can include camping gear, clothes, and, most importantly, your favorite powersports vehicle! But this can involve a very particular process to avoid disaster, which is why we here at Campers Unlimited have provided a quick guide to properly loading your powersport toys onto your toy hauler.

Know Your Toy Hauler’s Limits

Make sure your toy hauler can handle the extra weight and has the room for whatever you're loading. It’s a good idea to check and make sure your tow vehicle is also equipped to handle the extra weight. An overloaded vehicle can create a road hazard and also reduce fuel efficiency. No need to go through the trouble of loading up an RV you can’t actually tow.

Proper Weight Distribution

When loading a toy hauler, it is important to distribute the weight evenly. This can be done by placing heavy items in the center and front of the trailer and lighter items towards the sides. Be sure to secure all items so that they do not shift during travel. Your toy hauler should have tie-downs available to make this step easier. 

Loading the Cargo Bay

When it’s time to put your powersports vehicle in the cargo bay, do so carefully, but with enough force that you can actually get up whatever ramp you’ve put down. You may even ask a friend or family member for help to make sure you’re entering the bay evenly. 

With a little experience, this process will get easier over time. But first you need the right toy hauler to hit the road with! When that time comes, stop by Campers Unlimited in Gadsden or Oxford, AL, serving Huntsville and Birmingham, AL. We’ll help you find the right model of toy haulers for you and your family!
