    To be honest I just swiped that pic off the net. We are looking at the A191RB which has the queen bed in front and the full bath with corner shower in the rear. We looked at the 191Rd but I didn't like the shower and toilet being across from one another, the RB felt alot more open. I don't have kids so we don't need a private bedroom. The dealer we've been to is small, does mostly service instead of sales. He sells them at almost invoice and gets complaints from other dealers across the country because of his prices. He said the 191s average about $19,900 across the country and his advertised price is $17,800 and he said he'd cut us a smoking deal below that. Tonies RV in Salem, VA check him out. He has one of each on his lot, a 191RD and RB. Super nice guy too. We are leaning more towards the Retro.

    I'm looking at one of these:

    VRVXTR719_zpsee4fb658_306d75ec8e811dab76ec612b7f571c532f18c488.jpg

    It's a 7' X 19' VRV XTR that is nearly 100% aluminum so no rust or rot!

    Some have said it will be too heavy and I'll hate towing it with the Tacoma.

    It has an dry tongue weight of 550 lbs so it should be less when the back has toys in it...

    The dry weight of the toy hauler is around 3500.

    If I order one, it will be a blue similar to my Tacoma.

    Cool, yeah I found a 191rb 2013 model for 16,500 but my wife wants the tub, just not sure how big the tub is, I don't like how it only has a curtain

    Yeah I didn't like that either....plus that narrow hallway really closes in the feel. How many baths is one gonna take when camping?!?!?! LOL The corner shower seems ample enough to me.

    Funny I came accross this thread because recently my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee was broke down on the side of the road. I tried to rent a Uhaul Car Hauler (not the dolly) and was told their computer said that my 2012 Toyota Tacoma 4.0 6 could NOT pull the Jeep and trailer. The lady admitted that she was sure it could but since their computer wouldn't allow it that I couldn't rent the Uhaul. The story ended well cause I had forgotten to take Roadside assistance off of my Jeep when I bought my Tacoma so for $10 I had it towed instead of the $70 plus for the Uhaul.

    Anyway, I tow my dirt bikes on a small trailer which is not that interesting BUT here is something even smaller which usually gets looks or questions.

    I recently bought my daughter a CRF80F. When I went to go buy it, the guy selling it said that he was also including a hitch hauler. It was new in the box and I had to put it together. I was just going to sell it, but after putting it together and playing around with it on the hitch, I'm going to keep it. Especially since it takes up little space. It sure is easy to load/unload the motorcycle.

    Well here it is, picked it up last night and now I'm on they way home.

    2012 Livin Lite VRV 7x18. 2500 lbs dry and 500 - 550 tongue weight unloaded.

    I have Timbrens and the Prodigy P3. It tows very well, but I will be adding the Equal-I-zer WD hitch.

    Nice trailer and it looks like a good size for the Tacoma. I'm thinking some airbags in addition to the Equalizer WD/sway control. It's totally worth the extra $ for the Equalizer. It's stout and works very well. Although it's noisy as the bars slide on the plates. Remember, do NOT lubricate those noisy bars. You'll get used to it eventually. It does sound like it's broken/breaking when you first hear it. You'll be alarmed. It's normal. Also, there's a trick to hitching/unhitching the Equalizer. When you hitch up, after you connect the ball, lower the jack (raising the truck) and allow the hitch to lift the ball. You'll be able to place the bars w/o using the bar tool. When you unhitch to it in reverse. Just easier than trying to muscle those bars on/off. That's where the electric jack would come in handy. :)

    Thanks. Compared to the bed of the truck, it's huge.

    I guess we're gonna see hi 20s the next night or two!

    Good news is no mice or rodent evidence! Can't wait to make use of it!

    I love the bike hauler...had never seen one before but now you can find them even at WalMart. Minie is actually made for Jet Skis and can be crunk/cranked down to be level with the ground. Its rated at $550lbs but I added a ramp that the bike sits on and it does well. Bike is 320lbs...ramp is rated at 500lbs, hauler at 500lbs...so I think I should be good.

    I picked this up a week ago. It's a 2014 K-Z sportsmen 19BHS. Dry weight was 2840 lbs. I'll be taking it to Orlando this weekend. Wish me luck on my first trip!
