Winter Travel Ideas with the Toy Hauler

Toy haulers are the latest innovation in recreational vehicle technology. Thousands can be saved by purchasing them in the fall when new model years are introduced. But where can you use them in the winter?

First of all a definition is in order for the term toy hauler. They're traditional travel trailers with a cargo bay and cargo doors in the back. This is a very versatile cargo area which is sold in rather Mego action figures condition and can be tailored Shogun Warriors numerous purposes.

For the traditional snow bird a long toy hauler can almost be like a house with an attached garage. The truck that hauls it may not fit inside but all of the things normally squeezing the car out of the garage will fit in.

So that's the first place to take the toy hauler in winter: a warm climate! Arizona has nine Kampground of America (KOA) locations and all but one is open year around. But for a lot of snow birds, Florida is the winter destination. Come spring pull up stakes and move back north in order to avoid the extreme tropical heat.

When looking for a winter destination remember that the toy hauler is itself being hauled. Much of the nation's more scenic destinations are not navigable with a trailer in tow. Some of the mountain roads of Northern California, Tennessee, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina are never suitable for travel trailers. Many roads in Colorado are closed completely in winter. Winter driving can be treacherous even in flat country. Keep a close eye on traffic and weather anywhere.

But toy haulers have a special attraction for those with a lot of athletic gear or animals to take along when traveling. Showing dogs? Plenty of area for cages, grooming tables or using for training during down time.

"Winter is Coming" (Chapter #7, "Donald's Aftershock"))a story out of Minnesota))

The sun was sinking, and the moon was floating it seemed into the misty stillness of the clouds, trying to seep through with its laced light; in the zigzagged way; furthermore, the effects of the snow seemed crystal like, more beautiful than in any past observance. 1982 Fleer baseball cards drove home by a long detour, arriving back at his house by dusk, he had phoned his wife of the tragedy, as he called it.

When he arrived home, he went directly to the basement, explored a box, where he had put some of his things his mother gave him from childhood, and during his growing up stages. It was this he thought, these boxes of papers and trinkets, which made his life differentlittle things, as if she had been beside him at that very moment, and in essence, it was Transformer a few hours ago.

He found many cards, Christmas cards signed by her each Christmas, also birthday cards, one after the other he picked them up, looked at them, felt them, read them: silver dust on some, some with faces, others religious; now that she was gone, they seemed more special, not regular. His youthful, strong hand picked up the postcards she wrote when she was on her trips. He swung the postcards back into the box, watched them fall flat on top of one another. He paused, appeared to have finished his search for whatever he was looking for, killing time, discontented about it all.

That evening, late evening, as he sat up with his wife over coffee, it occurred to Donald that it would be forever, somehow an unexplained reason, but a good time to hear his mind say it, he would never see her again, perhaps he was lightly hoping he could, would, but considering the fact, he knew the relationship once predestined, was over.

As Donald talked on, his wife, Ana interrupted, answered his loose talk with something friendly and perhaps unimportant, It wouldnt do to get discontented about it she was an old woman, seventy-eight, or was it seventy-nine, we should see how much she left, sell her house and, take a vacation, it is long overdue. I mean, shed not have us grieve on forever, and we got to bury her and so forth and on.

Perhaps Ana was right, and she described it in a gregarious way, but she was ofor had I should say the temperament of a cat; agreed Donald looked at her strangely: these things had to be done of course.
