RV Expert Tip: Before you buy the nearest off-road toy hauler camper, consider your goals and know the limitations of RVs—even those designed for more off-road experiences. While toy haulers are built for the outdoors, they may not be suitable for more rigorous off-roading adventures.

What Are Off-Road Toy Haulers?

Toy haulers, also called sport utility recreational vehicles (SURVs), are towable RV campers with garage space typically reserved for motorized “toys.” Think dirtbikes and ATVs. There’s usually a ramp that comes off the garage, so it’s easier to load and unload your toys.

Common toys include:

Not all toy hauler manufacturers build their models for off-roading. But given their purpose to carry dirt bikes, ATVs, and the like, that capability certainly makes sense for many owners. In addition to the garage, toy hauler floor plans typically include a traditional kitchen, living area, and bedroom. Most models also feature a multi-purpose garage with fold-down couches and drop-down bunks. 

Some of the characteristics that differentiate off road toy haulers from normal toy haulers include all-terrain tires, upgraded RV suspension systems, increased clearance, spare tires, fuel stations, increased water tank capacities, solar installations, and rugged exterior materials like high-strength fiberglass or diamond plating.

Choosing the Best Off Road Toy Hauler

Here’s what you should consider when shopping for an off-road toy hauler camper trailer.

Garage Space

The defining feature of a toy hauler is that it has garage space.  When looking at toy haulers, the best thing to do is measure the garage space. Will it fit everything you’d like to travel with? Are there enough tie-downs for you to load your toys safely? Depending on the model, the garage can share some space with the dining and kitchen areas. Some models fix this by cleverly putting the bathroom between the garage and living room areas. 

Towing Capacity

Towing capacity is one of the most important factors to consider for toy haulers. The toy haulers for off-grid camping listed above have dry weights(meaning the RV is empty) ranging from less than 2,000 to more than 14,000 pounds. . Adding your luggage and toys will make the toy hauler even heavier. So, be sure your car can tow the model you choose. This is especially true if you’re planning to go off-road.

Use our Towing Guide to check your vehicle’s towing capacity.   

Off-Roading

Going off-road requires caution and knowing your tow vehicle and camper’s limitations. Most RVs are not intended for any form of off-roading. Those that are may only be intended for light-duty off-roading, such as maintained dirt or gravel roads. Those with added ground clearance and improved suspension may handle some unmaintained roads, but you won’t be taking many towable campers rock crawling.  

We recommend working with experts before taking your RV off-road for the first time. Learn what constitutes an off-road recreational vehicle and evaluate whether the camper you love meets that criteria. Finally, there are plenty of campgrounds where you can set up a basecamp and explore off-road with a truck, ATV, dirt bike, or other vehicle more suited to handling rugged terrain.

The Best Off-Road Toy Haulers

There are varying degrees of off road toy haulers, and our list consists of those we believe best suit campers looking to explore more off the beaten path. Let’s take a look at five of the best off-road toy haulers.

Forest River No Boundaries 10.6

Specs

  • Length: 13’10”
  • Dry Weight: 1,763 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 1,533 pounds
  • Garage Length: 7’4”

It’s not called No Boundaries for nothing. 

The No Boundaries off-road toy hauler is one of the smaller travel trailers on our list. It’s 13 feet,10 inches long, which may make it easier to get off the beaten path. It’s lightweight, too, with a starting weight of 1,763 lbs. 

It sleeps two to three people (depending on the model year), and has a queen bed and a rooftop tent. It can fit an ATV 4×4 and has a roof rack for extra storage. The cooktop is outside but comes with an electric refrigerator and cooking tool storage. With its lightweight and compact design, this off-road toy hauler truly knows no boundaries. 

RV Expert Tip: As you shop or learn more about this model, know that, in the last 5 years, the model code of this small NoBo toy hauler has gone from 10.5 to 10.6 to now 10.4 (for the 2025 model year).

ATC Pla 350 Ultra Light Toy Hauler

Specs

  • Length: 18’2”-20’2”
  • Dry Weight: 1,600-1,900 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,450-3,300 pounds
  • Garage Length: 9’8”-11’8”

The ATC Pla 350 lineup has two available toy hauler models, the 1210 and the larger 1412. These are lightweight, sturdy, and built for versatile adventures. On their own, they include a 6-side welded aluminum frame, a spare tire, an all-weather protection package, and a composite floor with a non-slip covering. With the off-road package, they are more equipped to get off the beaten path with all-terrain tires, raised ground clearance, and Jeep-style fenders. 

These campers only sleep 1 to 2 people, and they offer a fairly minimalist living setup. But they are also SUV-towable, can access less developed locations, and will improve your overall fuel consumption. 

The ATC Pla 350s showcase an important trait to many off-road capable toy-haulers: small size. While other off-road capable toy haulers include larger garages, dual axles, and the capacity to carry bigger toys, smaller RVs are more nimble and will likely perform better on uneven or rough conditions. 

Imperial Outdoors XploreRV XR22

Specs

  • Length: 23’4”
  • Dry Weight: 5,200 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 3,620 pounds
  • Garage Length: 7’6”

Imperial Outdoors builds an off-road-specific toy hauler with the Xplore XR22, a mid-sized and versatile camper ready for rough terrain and cold temperatures. Built with hung fiberglass and fortified with 3.5” thick insulated walls, this can withstand extreme temperatures, up to 40 degrees below zero. So for those looking to take their toys into the mountains and remain comfortable at those colder temperatures, the XR22 might be for you. 

Its off-roading capabilities are also significant. Go with the Xtreme Package, and the XR22 comes with 33-inch tires (2 spares) and a hydraulic ride adjustment that allows for 12-inch ground clearance on the road and 20-inch ground clearance for off-roading. Plus, an on-board air compressor and D-ring recovery points help you quickly get back on the road when needed. 

This is a significant off-roading toy hauler that sets you up for just about any situation.

Black Series TH19 

Specs

  • Length: 24’11”
  • Dry Weight: 6,172 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 3,828 pounds
  • Garage Length: 13’8”

Black Series manufactures some of the most off-road-capable travel trailers and toy haulers on the market, and the mid-sized TH19 is more than capable of handling your adventures. With significant cargo capacity, this double-axle trailer comes with an extra-strength chassis built with galvanized tubular steel and an off-road approved poly block hitch. Off-road tires help traverse uneven terrain, and it comes with two spares. Plus, if you find yourself in an especially precarious position, it also comes with rear-facing recovery shackles. 

Not that we suggest any rock crawling, but the TH19’s exterior construction includes aluminum diamond plating that will provide additional protection from rocks, road debris, and minor damage. This camper is fortified and is built to handle the trail.

InTech O-V-R Adventure

Specs

  • Length: 29’3”
  • Dry Weight: 5,700 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,800 pounds
  • Garage Length: 13’3”

InTech is a leader in the off-road towable segment, and its O-V-R Adventure toy hauler is one of our favorite examples of a well-crafted, well-intended overlanding camper. Similar in aesthetic to the Black Series but not to be confused, the Adventure includes diamond-plating rock guards around the entire camper. It features knobby tires that are ready for rougher terrain, and a spare tire is recognizably mounted to its front. 

The O-V-R Adventure’s cage frame is all aluminum, giving it lightweight durability and added protection, so you can adventure freely on less-developed roads and trails without worry. The Adventure can be equipped with InTech’s Off-Grid Package which includes 400 watts of solar, an MPPT charger controller, 200 amp hours of lithium batteries, and a 2,000-watt inverter.
