That's what people from your way say to those of us who know better.
Spokane isn't where I want to be but Idaho riding is within an hour drive any direction and Iike that. My heart is doing that I just wish all you guys lived closer the commute is becoming a b****. Just need to win the lottery so I can relocate into Idaho full time and have you all come here to live and ride for free. My plan is solid lol

Wife took me looking at toyhaulers yesterday. How sad is it she has to talk me into it? Looks like a used class 8 truck may be in my future. As much as I'd love a nice crew cab dually. I'm not interested in forking out another $65+ on a hauler after she spends that on a trailer.
I've got a really nice cyclone toy hauler I'll see ya. Let me know if you're interested

So you didn't really need to go look...

Funny thing.... She went to the dealership to look at destination/park model trailers. I told her to think bigger. Toy hauler wasn't even on her radar until she saw how much extra room the garage adds.

She is deadset on a Spartan 1245. She works way too hard to not get her way.
You need this bumper sticker!

You can put a whole lotta SHTUFF in there. I do like it a lot.
This one has the 2 queen beds in the garage. I have no clue if our Pioneer will fit in the garage with both beds lifted to top height. I told her not to get excited until they agree to lets us bring the Pioneer onsite to confirm it fits. I don't want to have to swap tires, lower air pressure etc just to get it in and out. If it fits in it's current state, she is golden.
Right now Chalmers (our Pioneer) has a Honda roof, Highlifter bracket lift, and 28" Terrabites. I don't know if it will fit under the queen beds.

YIKES.....its gonna be darn close. Mine has a loft that sticks out into the garage plus a bed in the garage. The bed clears fine but the loft is tight. I dont have a lift but my tires are 28". Mine barely fits. By barely I mean I have about 1/4" between the roof and the loft. Yours may have more clearance though. Also depends a lot on the depth of garage.

12' garage on it. I am not worried about the loft part. Just mainly trying to squeeze it under the floating beds.
This is the model, but not the dealer she was at.

Oh Cool. Mine is a queen loft so it sticks out further. My buddy has a cyclone very similar to the spartan you're looking at. I would encourage you to make sure you get one with Load range G tires and 7500# axles. Axles, tires, and frame are absolutely critical. Anyone can make a fancy interior. just my 2 cents. You'll want that triple axle for the weight of the side by side. Thats a sharp looking rig.

According to their brochure.......
Upgraded Load Range G Tires.
7000lb axles.

I plan on purchasing something like this to haul it with. It might be overkill, but a dually is way too much $ now a days.

I'll buy one with a sleeper later on to convert a little closer to retirement.

I actually have. The shop I work for just acquired a CNC pipe/tube bending company. I plan to get over there with their engineers to see what we can draw up and have fabbed up off the clock. This might be an off season project though. And as a bonus, Chalmers could be in nice heated storage all winter while I fit a new cage. If anyone has a model or drawing of the bungs, feel free to pm me for an email. If not, I'll try and model them one of these days.

@Tigermark has a Spartan toy hauler. He could probably tell you. Sounds a lot like his.

Mine is a Spartan 300 series, 3611. It also has the dual queen beds in the rear. My Pioneer has the Highlifter Kit and 28 in tires and fits fine. In my Spartan you can also lower the bottom queen bunk and fold it up against the walls if your sxs is taller.
