What is a Toterhome?
If you’re looking at one, you’ll probably immediately notice it’s built a little strangely. They’re certainly not hard to miss. This is because a toterhome is an RV built on the frame of a heavy-duty truck. Usually, someone takes the front part of a semi and starts adding to it to include a living space and sometimes an enclosed garage. This often involves attaching a fifth wheel trailer to make the process simpler. It’s a kind of luxury experience you can’t get with your standard RV and why, when you need one, you’ll need to go to a very unique and particular vendor, like Victory Custom Trailers.
Why Get One?
Such a specific type of RV that’s not that commonly seen on the road, you can probably guess that they serve a fairly specific purpose. While we wouldn’t discourage anyone from checking these campers out, they’re particularly popular with dual-purpose camping enthusiasts who want a little more room to bring all the toys along. If the standard toy hauler isn’t doing it for you, then this is the answer you’ve been looking for. The design can make it easy to load up even more recreational equipment, or tow or haul items that won’t fit in the garage. They also offer more living space and often come with some of the latest amenities.
More specifically, if you tour with a pro sports team, like a racer, these are probably going to be ideal. Toterhomes can often sleep a dozen or more people, which, if you’re constantly on the road, headed to the next track, you’ll find this saves a lot of money, and gives you a secure space to store your precious cargo.
What to Look For
So if you do decide to get a toterhome, you’ll need to do a little thinking about what it is you really need. There are some considerations that won’t be much different from when a person looks for a more traditional RV. For example, you’ll want to do a headcount of your traveling party and ensure everyone has a comfortable place to sleep. Your team works hard, so make sure they have the opportunity to recharge your batteries every night.
You’ll also want to make sure you have enough room for your precious cargo. If your racing and recreational items don’t fit, then there’s not much point in investing, is there? Don’t forget that these toterhomes have towing capabilities of their own, which can offer an alternative solution to hauling needs. Essentially, you’ll want to start jotting down some of the must-have items and features of your ideal RV, or toterhome in this case, and we’ll help you find a model to match.
