Best Motorhome RV Toy Haulers
A toy hauler motorhome puts a garage with a ramp door behind the living space, so the dirt bikes, side-by-side gear or kayaks ride inside and no trailer is needed. Only a handful are still built. Here is every one, how they compare and what to check before you buy.

Which motorhome toy hauler fits you?
Six quick answers. Each links to the full write-up below.
Best Class A for the money
Thor Outlaw 38K & 38M
Gas Class A with a 2,000-lb garage rating and 150 gallons of fresh water.
Most luxurious
Newmar Canyon Star 3947
The only front-engine diesel Class A toy hauler, with a 10-foot garage.
Heaviest hauling
Renegade Classic garage models
A semi-truck Super C that tows up to 30,000 lb behind an 8½-foot garage.
Need a bigger garage?
A fifth-wheel toy hauler
Towable toy haulers offer longer garages for far less money.
The short answer
Only four motorhome toy hauler lines are on sale for 2027: Thor’s Outlaw Class C (29T and 29J), Thor’s Outlaw Class A (38K and 38M), the Newmar Canyon Star 3947 and Renegade’s custom-built Classic garage models. For most buyers the Outlaw 29T is the one to drive first: it is 31 feet long, handles like any Class C and still has a 10-foot garage. Step up to the Outlaw Class A for a 2,000-lb garage rating and bigger tanks, to the Canyon Star for diesel power and a high-end interior, or to a Renegade if you also tow heavy. If your toys need more than about 8 by 10 feet, a fifth-wheel toy hauler will fit them better.

The 5 motorhome toy haulers you can buy new
Every one has a rear garage with a ramp door that folds down into a patio. Specs come from the makers’ 2026 and 2027 brochures and websites. Prices are starting MSRPs; dealers often sell well below them.
#1
Best overall · Class C
Thor Outlaw 29T
Ford E-Series, 7.3L V8 gas · 31 ft 2 in long · GVWR 14,500 lb · Sleeps 3 · MSRP from $180,880 (checked November 3, 2026)
The 29T is the smallest motorhome you can buy with a real garage, and the easiest one to live with. At 31 feet it fits ordinary campground sites and drives like any Class C, yet the rear garage is 10 feet long and 8 feet wide, room for a dirt bike or two, a small quad, or a stack of bikes and kayaks. Fold the ramp door down and it becomes a railed patio. The trade-off is sleeping space: the living area has one large slide-out with a sofa that folds into a queen Murphy bed, plus the cab-over bunk, so it suits a couple better than a family. A Class C toy hauler also has the least payload of any motorhome here, so weigh what you plan to carry.
What we like
- The longest garage in a Class C: 10 feet
- About 31 feet long and 11 feet tall, so most campsites and fuel stops work
- Tows up to 8,000 lb (22,000-lb combined rating)
Keep in mind
- Thor rates it to sleep 3
- Payload is tight at a 14,500-lb GVWR; check the cargo sticker before loading the garage
- Thor does not publish the garage floor rating online; ask the dealer
#2
Best for families · Class C
Thor Outlaw 29J
Ford E-Series, 7.3L V8 gas · 31 ft 2 in long · GVWR 14,500 lb · Sleeps 5 · MSRP from $180,880 (checked November 3, 2026)
The 29J gives up two feet of garage to make room for people. Two sofas face each other in the main living area, and a queen-size bunk drops down from the garage ceiling, so the garage turns into a bedroom once the toys are unloaded. With the cab-over bunk, Thor rates it to sleep five. The 8-foot garage takes a motorcycle, a pair of mountain bikes or a youth quad, and it has its own TV, so it doubles as a kids’ room, office or dog room on travel days. Everything else matches the 29T, including the 7.3-liter V8 and the 8,000-lb hitch.
What we like
- Sleeps 5, the most of the Class C toy haulers
- Garage converts to a bedroom with a drop-down queen bunk and TV
- Same easy 31-foot size as the 29T
Keep in mind
- The 8-foot garage is the shortest here; measure long toys first
- Toys and the garage bed share one room, so fuel smells and mud come inside
- Same tight payload as the 29T
#3
Best Class A for the money · Class A gas
Thor Outlaw 38K & 38M
Ford F-53, 7.3L V8 gas · 39 ft 9 in long · GVWR 26,000 lb · Sleeps 5 · MSRP from $280,700 (checked November 3, 2026)
Thor’s Class A Outlaw is the only gas Class A toy hauler on the market, and its 8-by-10-foot garage is rated for 2,000 lb, the most Thor publishes. Behind the ramp door is a 72-by-76-inch patio deck with railings, and the garage has its own 8,000 BTU air conditioner, tie-down rings, a work-shelf cabinet and a bug screen. You also get 150 gallons of fresh water, an Onan 5,500-watt generator, solar charging and an 8,000-lb hitch. Choose the 38K for a Tilt-A-View king bed and dual entry doors, or the 38M for a queen bed and a booth dinette.
What we like
- 2,000-lb garage rating
- 150-gallon fresh tank, generator and garage A/C for off-grid weekends
- A 26,000-lb GVWR stays under the 26,001-lb line that triggers a special license in some states
Keep in mind
- 13′3″ tall: watch low branches, bridges and some fuel canopies
- Its 30,000-lb combined rating leaves only about 4,000 lb of towing when the coach is fully loaded
- Gas Class A ride and fuel use, especially with a full garage
#4
Most luxurious · Class A diesel
Newmar Canyon Star 3947
Freightliner front-engine diesel, 340 hp · 39 ft 11 in long · GVWR 32,000 lb · Sleeps 6 · MSRP from $392,840 (checked November 3, 2026)
Newmar bills the Canyon Star as the only Class A front-engine diesel toy hauler on the market, and it is the one to choose if you want a toy hauler that feels like a high-end coach. The single 3947 floor plan has a 10-foot garage behind a rear ramp door with no hump to drive over, a side door into the garage and a fueling station for your toys. Options include electric lift bunks with a pedestal table that turn the garage into a guest room, a 10-foot rear patio deck with awning and lights, and a stacked washer and dryer. The Freightliner Custom Chassis puts out 340 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque.
What we like
- Diesel torque and a residential Newmar interior
- 10-foot garage with a hump-free ramp, side door and fuel station
- Optional lift bunks, rear patio deck and washer and dryer
Keep in mind
- The most expensive Class A here
- At 32,000 lb GVWR, several states require a special noncommercial license
- One floor plan and a smaller 75-gallon fresh tank
#5
Heaviest hauling · Super C diesel
Renegade Classic garage models
Freightliner Cascadia or Peterbilt chassis, 525–605 hp diesel · About 45 ft long · Sleeps up to 8 · Built to order (checked November 3, 2026)
Renegade builds the Classic on semi-truck chassis, from a Freightliner Cascadia with a Detroit DD13 to a Peterbilt 589 with a 605-hp Cummins X15, and three of its floor plans (2509, 2609 and 2509GS) put an 8½-foot garage at the back. This is the rig for racers, show circuits and anyone who tows a big trailer as well as carrying toys: Renegade rates the Classic to tow 30,000 lb, and it carries 150 gallons of fresh water and 120 gallons of fuel. Garage models are ordered with their own list of standards and options, so pricing comes from a dealer quote; Classic motorhomes are listed by dealers at roughly $705,000 to $855,000.
What we like
- Tows up to 30,000 lb
- Truck chassis built for heavy loads and long miles
- Three garage floor plans and deep custom options
Keep in mind
- About 45 feet long and 13′6″ tall, so many campgrounds are off the list
- California and some other states require a special license for a rig this long or heavy
- The garage (8′6″) is shorter than the Outlaw 29T’s

Pick your class
Class C, Class A or Super C?
Each class trades size for ease of driving. Here is what changes as you move up.
Class C toy hauler
What it is: A Ford E-Series cutaway van chassis with a bunk over the cab. The Outlaw 29T and 29J are the only Class C toy haulers built today.
Best for: Couples and small families who want to drive anywhere a pickup can, with a garage for one or two toys. About 31 feet, so it fits standard campsites.
Trade-off: The smallest garages (8 to 10 feet) and the least payload.
Class A toy hauler
What it is: A flat-front, bus-style motorhome on a Ford F-53 gas or Freightliner diesel chassis, about 40 feet long with two slide-outs.
Best for: Longer trips and full-timers: big fresh tanks, basement storage, a residential kitchen and a garage that doubles as a guest room.
Trade-off: At 12′11″ to 13′3″ tall and 40 feet long, older campgrounds and tight roads take planning.
Super C toy hauler
What it is: A motorhome body on a semi-truck chassis, with a long hood and a bunk over the cab.
Best for: Heavy toys plus a heavy trailer. The Renegade Classic tows up to 30,000 lb.
Trade-off: About 45 feet long, the hardest to park and price, and a special license in some states.
Or tow your toys instead
Fifth-wheel and travel-trailer toy haulers come in far more floor plans and often have longer garages: some fifth wheels, such as the Jayco Seismic 395, have a 14-foot cargo area. You pay less, and the truck is free for errands once you unhitch. The catch is that you need a truck big enough to tow it.
Check your license before you buy a big one
License rules depend on your home state. Many states let you drive any personal motorhome on a regular license, but some, including Texas and Pennsylvania, require a special noncommercial license above 26,000 lb GVWR. California goes by length: its DMV covers motorhomes up to 40 feet on a regular Class C license and needs a noncommercial Class B for 40 to 45 feet. The Outlaw Class A sits right at 26,000 lb; the Canyon Star and the Renegade are heavier, and the Renegade is longer than 40 feet.
Before you buy
How to match a toy hauler to your toys
Six checks to make at the dealer, with a tape measure and your toys’ spec sheets in hand.
- Measure the toy and the door Garage length is measured on the floor, and the ramp door opening is narrower and lower than the garage. Measure your toy’s length, width and height with mirrors and handlebars, then compare them with the door opening and with the ceiling under any stowed bunks.
- Add up the weight Use the toy’s wet weight (with fuel and fluids), then add riding gear, tie-downs, ramps and fuel cans. Compare the total with the garage rating (Thor rates the Outlaw Class A garage at 2,000 lb) and with the cargo carrying capacity on the coach’s sticker.
- Leave room for water and people The cargo capacity also has to cover passengers, food, water and everything in the cabinets. Water weighs about 8.3 lb a gallon, so a full 150-gallon fresh tank is roughly 1,250 lb before anything goes in the garage.
- Try the ramp and patio Ask the dealer to lower the ramp door and set up the patio. Check the ramp’s rated capacity, its angle and whether there is a hump at the hinge, which can catch long, low toys.
- Plan for fuel and fumes Gasoline toys share a wall with your bed. Keep the garage vents and the door seal in good shape, test the propane and carbon-monoxide alarms before every trip, and carry spare fuel outside the living space. A built-in fuel station, like the Canyon Star’s, helps.
- Test-drive it loaded Drive the exact model on a highway, up a grade and through a tight turn. Check its height against your routes and storage, and confirm the campgrounds you use take a rig your length.
Will a side-by-side fit?
Usually not. A motorhome garage is 8 to 10 feet long and has to clear the door opening, which rules out most side-by-sides. If a UTV is the main toy, look at fifth-wheel toy haulers with 12-foot-plus garages, or tow an open trailer behind a Class A.
