FRONT LIVING ROOMS ARE a popular layout in fifth wheels, but they’re surprisingly rare in toy haulers. Most toy haulers prioritize garage space in the back, meaning they often leave the front for a dedicated bedroom with a central living area between. However, anyone looking for a front living toy hauler should consider the clever designs highlighted below.
Instead of a traditional residential-style front lounge, these toy haulers rely on versatile furniture—like Murphy beds, fold-down sofas, or dual-use garage areas—that allows you to keep the front space as a living room while still having a comfortable place to sleep. Below, we’ll highlight some standout toy haulers with front living space, giving you excellent choices to balance hauling capability with ample room to gather, relax, and kick back in comfort.
Key Takeaways
- Front living layouts are rare in toy haulers, but clever designs with Murphy beds, fold-down sofas, and dual-use garages balance hauling capability with comfortable lounge space.
- Standout examples include lightweight travel trailer toy haulers like the Nightfall 20N, Momentum MAV 22MAV, Rogue 23SUT, and XLR Boost 2017B, plus unique options like the used Momentum 376TH (a luxury fifth wheel with a true residential front living room) and the 17MAV (a compact toy hauler with a rare front bathroom).
- Features like convertible garages that double as patios, versatile Murphy beds, and modern amenities (solar packages, JBL sound, walk-in showers) showcase how manufacturers blend space-saving versatility with comfort.
Top Toy Haulers with Front Living Space
While these campers may share a similar overall floor plan—with the living or sleeping area positioned at the front and a garage at the rear—the standard features and available options set each one apart.
From Murphy beds that maximize daytime space to garage areas that double as patios, we’ll break down four top toy haulers with front living potential, making it easier to find one that fits your RV lifestyle.
Forest River Nightfall 20N
Specs
- Length: 26’5”
- Dry Weight: 6,368 pounds
- Cargo Capacity: 4,947 pounds
- Garage Length: 17’
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 6
The Nightfall 20N takes a creative approach to toy hauler design with a rare front living layout. Instead of the traditional rear lounge, this toy hauler trailer uses a Murphy bed at the front and dual sofa sleepers in the garage, giving you a cozy daytime living space that converts easily into a nighttime bedroom. With the drop-down bunk as your primary bed (if you so choose), the front remains a comfortable sofa within steps of the entry door.
The massive 17-foot garage provides plenty of room for larger toys, while the patio deck and screened wall extend your living space outdoors. Add in the well-equipped kitchen, full bath, and features like the JBL sound system, solar package, and tankless water heater, and you’ve got a toy hauler that’s as comfortable as it is versatile.
Grand Design Momentum MAV 22MAV
Specs
- Length: 26’6”
- Dry Weight: 5,600 pounds
- Cargo Capacity: 4,350 pounds
- Garage Length: 13’6”
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 5
The Momentum MAV 22MAV uses a smart front living layout centered around a queen Murphy bed. Like the 20N, that bed can be maintained as a comfortable sofa by day, complementing the dual lounge chairs in the living area and rollover sofa in the garage.
If you use the top bed above the rear sofa as your primary sleeping area, you keep the front living functionality while retaining a dedicated bed that easily retracts to the ceiling during the day. While the sofa converts too, the handy table makes it an ideal communal space during the day.

Thanks to a ramp door that converts into a patio, the rear space doubles as a garage and outdoor hangout. It offers roughly 13 to 17 feet of cargo room without wheel-well interference.
Inside, thoughtful touches include under-bed storage, USB ports, motion-sensor lights, and a walk-in shower. With rugged thermal insulation and off-grid options like a solar package, universal docking station, and strong, insulated exterior walls, the 22MAV blends home-style comfort with adventure.
Forest River Rogue 23SUT
Specs
- Length: 27’2”
- Dry Weight: 5,498 pounds
- Cargo Capacity: 4,497 pounds
- Garage Length: 20’
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 4
The Rogue 23SUT makes hauling big toys like ATVs and dirt bikes easy with 12 feet of open garage space, all within a 102-inch wide-body frame. The garage transforms into bonus sleeping quarters thanks to flip-up sofas and a quick-set bed system, comfortably accommodating up to four people.
At the front, it boasts a similar Murphy bed-sofa versatility as the Momentum and Nightfall models above, allowing you to enjoy comfortable sleep or a front living lounge. With thoughtful touches throughout, such as a deep kitchen sink and a walk-through bathroom, the Rogue 23SUT proves you don’t have to compromise between hauling capability and comfortable living.
Forest River XLR Boost 2017B
Specs
- Length: 26’8”
- Dry Weight: 6,473 pounds
- Cargo Capacity: 4,837 pounds
- Garage Length: 17’
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 6
The XLR Boost 2017B is built for campers who want equal parts hauling muscle and everyday comfort. If you haven’t noticed a theme yet, you’ll find another versatile Murphy bed up front. The thread here is the flexibility to use that front area as a living space or bedroom, based on your preference.
The kitchen has a large refrigerator, three-burner cooktop, and overhead storage, while the full bath provides a spacious shower and modern fixtures.
Its rear garage offers flexible space for your gear and converts quickly into extra sleeping or lounge areas with opposing sofas and a drop-down upper bed. With room to sleep up to six and nearly 5,000 pounds of cargo capacity, the 2017B makes it easy to bring your toys, family, and home comforts all in one go.
A Used Front Living 5th Wheel Toy Hauler
Front living layouts may be even rarer in a fifth wheel. But if you’re willing to consider a used RV, here’s an excellent example of how a front living design can deliver residential-style lounging while offering plenty of garage space for big toys and adventure gear.
Grand Design Momentum 376TH
Specs
- Length: 42’
- Dry Weight: 15,900 pounds
- Cargo Capacity: 4,100 pounds
- Garage Dimensions: 9’3” x 5’3” x 5’6”
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 6
The Momentum 376TH combines luxury fifth wheel living with the utility of a toy hauler. Up front, you’ll find a spacious living room with theater seating, a large entertainment center, and a cozy fireplace that feels more like a residential lounge than an RV.
The garage is cleverly tucked underneath the rear bedroom, offering a secure space without sacrificing interior comfort. The elevated primary suite provides a walk-around queen bed and plenty of storage, while the full kitchen includes residential appliances and generous counterspace.
With sleeping for up to six, a bath-and-a-half layout, and premium finishes throughout, the 376TH delivers big-rig comfort while still allowing you to bring your adventure gear along for the ride.
A Rare(r) Toy Hauler with a Front Bathroom
Front bathrooms are unusual in toy haulers since most floor plans include a bath somewhere mid-ship. However, we found one example that’s ideally suited for solo travelers or couples who want comfort without giving up hauling capability.
Grand Design Momentum MAV 17MAV
Specs
- Length: 22’11”
- Dry Weight: 5,518 pounds
- Cargo Capacity: 4,432 pounds
- Garage Length: 11’6”
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 2
The Momentum MAV 17MAV is a nimble toy hauler built with solo travelers or couples in mind, offering a rare front bathroom that stretches the full width of the trailer for extra space and privacy.

At night, a queen Murphy bed creates a comfortable sleeping area, folding away during the day to open up the living space. The rear garage doubles as a patio with the ramp door down, giving you plenty of room for bikes or gear and an outdoor hangout spot.
Add features like a walk-in shower and a standard solar package, and the 17MAV proves that small-scale toy hauling can still deliver big on comfort.
Do They Make a Toy Hauler with an Outdoor Kitchen?
Several of the best toy haulers come with outdoor kitchens. Models like the Forest River Wolf Pack 365PACK16 and Salem FSX 290RTK feature exterior cooking setups that let you prepare meals outside while keeping the mess and the fun under the open sky.
Compare some of the top travel trailers with outdoor kitchens.
Who Makes Full House Toy Haulers?
Full House toy haulers are built by DRV Luxury Suites, a brand known for some of the most upscale RVs on the road. These luxury RVs are designed for full-time living and upscale comfort, with premium construction, lavish interiors, and generous garage space that makes it easy to bring your favorite toys along without sacrificing comfort.
Does Airstream Have a Toy Hauler?
Airstream is best known for its iconic aluminum travel trailers. They do not currently build a dedicated toy hauler, but plenty of their smallest travel trailers (Basecamp) and rugged camper vans boast abundant storage in creative places.
Their focus has always been on sleek design, comfort, and efficient use of space rather than garage storage for ATVs or dirt bikes. For RVers who love the Airstream style but also want to bring along bigger toys, the best option is typically to look at other toy hauler brands that balance rugged garage space with comfortable living areas.
While front living toy haulers remain rare, today’s RV builders find creative ways to blend comfort with function. From garages that double as patios to Murphy beds that open up valuable daytime space, these front living toy haulers prove you don’t have to choose between hauling your toys and having a cozy spot to relax.
