IF I was in the market for one, there are several things I would look at VERY closely:
1. I would NOT want one all-open, the smell of gasoline is the LAST thing I want to smell when I'm trying to sleep (or something else). Or for that matter the smell of a fresh cow-patty you rode through just prior to driving the bike up into the rig. A separate living quarters/toybox would be a necessity in my world.
2. Ease of cleaning. We all know good and well we're gonna load em up muddy, I want something I can take a hose or pressure washer and rinse out without ruining anything. (i.e. diamond plate floors & half-walls)
3. Facilities. I want full self-contained capability... a trailer is worthless if ya have to cart around a bunch of extra CRAP to make it usable in the field.
4. Weight.... can your truck haul it?
5. Insurance... I've never owned a toy-hauler, but I've heard that RV insurance is much higher for a toy-hauler due to the onboard fuel stations/fuel in the bikes inside the rig which creates an increased risk.
6. Size... ya got a place to put it?
7. As I told you earlier... DO NOT buy a Forest River product.. THEY SUCK.
8. Just do all this thinking to yourself and pull up with the damn thing on your way home from work one night.... surprise her.....
