Setups for hauling multiple toys?
Looking for ideas on hauling 3 four wheelers, a SxS and a couple dirt bikes for the family of 6 with a single rig. I have a 2006 F350 crewcab longbox powerstroke, In the market for a pull behind toy hauler. I have looked at the diamondback truck covers to haul 2 four wheelers on the bed and buy a TH large enough for a SxS, one atv and a couple 125 dirtbikes. but most floor plans will not accommodate that many toys nor handle the weight so looking to see if i have overlooked anything else.

You might be looking at 44-48’ enclosed goose neck trailer with a small living quarter added to the front or finding a motor home the significant other can drive.

That is a TALL ORDER.
A large diesel class A pulling a 30ft cargo trailer might be the only rig capable of living 6 with all those toys. Just for drill add up the weight of all the toys and shock yourself.
You are into 2 drivers at this point. Even if mom drives an SUV with a 15ft trailer that will do the trick.

My truck has a 12500 pound tow rating and the 2 trailers i have found that would allow me the room and weight i need are the impact 3118 or xlr 30hfx.
The xlr 30hfx is the heavier trailer and has a UW of 9000 gvwr 13265 which is over my trucks tow rating so figuring 3k for cargo to stay under my tow rating.
1200-rzr
750-atv
250-2 small dirtbikes
2200 total for toys leaving 800 for the rest of the cargo in the trailer.
1200 for 2 atvs on the back of the truck
700 passengers
500 misc cargo
1250 TW
2650 total on the truck is well less than the 4300 cc
7000-truck
2400-cargo
9000-trailer
3000-trailer cargo
21400-total weight
23500-gvcwr
2100# under capacity if i have done the math correctly with the heavier trailer?
The impact 3118 is lighter overall and gvwr matches my trucks tow capacity of 12500 but will have a heavier hitch weight.

No water? Fuel? Is the UW weight including a Generator, batteries, propane?
Find something with a lot of empty tongue weight, throwing a SXS in the back will unload a lot even with an ATV in the front. My 30FBW has ~1800 empty.

I have never hauled any of my campers full of water, I have always filled and emptied close to Where i camp. I only carried 5 gallons of extra fuel but only had 1 polaris sportsman and my generator in the past. I dont know what is included in that weight(so probably not), just figures i was able to get from the manufactures site to see if its even possible. TW on the 30hfx is listed @998# and the 3118 is listed @1289#

Looking at pictures of the 30hfx... no way. The cargo area goes to the door and the Axles are right there. All your weight will go on or behind the axles making it a nightmare to tow (sway).
My father had a Stryker 2912 that you had to back a single rzr900 in and park it over the axles or it would sway bad (2011 Ram 3500 CC DRW Cummins)

Looks like the 3118 is about the same, maybe axles a couple feet further back.

I’m going to be honest with my opinion.
I don’t think any of the bumper pull TH are able to safely do what you are wanting, with the exception of the WnP 28FBW and the 30FBW. The rest are simply built with the axles too far forward and with too little tongue weight to handle 3000lbs loaded above and behind the axles. Even my 30FBW gets a little loose if I don’t load right with one quad and one rzr, and as I said it has almost 1800lbs tongue weight with generator, LP, and batteries.

I can load almost to the door. Notice the axles further back.

If you're not too worried about the luxury of your sleeping quarters you could get a double-decker car hauler that has a little office in the front of it. Get one without all of the cabinets. Race teams around Concorde NC will have them for sale all of the time. Not sure about price, but probably not crazy, but it will have miles on it.

What about a gooseneck flat bed trailer with a camper mounted onto it? You could make enough space for all of the toys.
