Small toy hauler trailers are the best fit resources for towing a garage-like space with you on your recreational adventures. They are capable of hauling your favorite toys – ATVs, golf carts, side-by-sides, four wheelers, dirt bikes, motorcycles, mountain bikes, kayaks, canoes, watercrafts, and more – while doubling as a family camping home or office.
Small toy hauler trailers can be towed by a standard SUV or small truck. They have rear or back-side drop down door(s) that are ramps to load and unload your recreational toys. And, although they are small, they are tough and have the special features to help you stay comfortable camping in both on-grid and off-grid areas.

Really the only disadvantage is that the smaller toy hauler trailers are not able to load heavy or big toys, as they do not have as many weight amenities as the larger haul trailers.

It is also one of the easiest to tow to your most adventurous experiences in remote areas.
