toy hauler capable of hauling a car
Having some issues with forest Rivers work and play branch. not going in to details, but I think it is time to move on and not be part of this bumbling , lying, who cares about the little guy (we sold the trailer not an issue for us any more) family. we were getting ready to buy a new work and play catalyst 40wch because it would be able to carry our car with its 9,000 cargo capacity . now with these warm and fuzzy feelings i am having towards work and play, I do not think I can bring my self to purchase another one from them. Does any know of another company that makes a "toy hauler " that is capable of having that weight capacity/ ability? (need something with 9,000 or close to it carry capacity )
thank you in advance.

that was the unit we were looking at, but with the recent actions (almost 2 months worth of BS ) from Forest River I am going to look in other directions, but I have yet to find any thing with the ability to haul a car in it. other than a race car trailer. (they are to long and do not have the creature comforts we are looking for

That is an amazing looking toy hauler. I also noticed they are the only company that is making anything like that. They are made to put some weight inside of them that's for sure. Sorry to hear of your trouble with WP. Maybe you will have better luck with this unit and won't have to deal with them.

wyo700 that is what I was afraid of (not finding another company that makes this trailer) the whole thing is with the trouble I am having with WP is that I do not want them to get any more of my money (already have the new toy hauler we bought this past spring, + all the occurred expenses from the repair they have done to it and the accumulated 7,000.00 worth of hotel / motel stays + loss of income,while it was being fixed )

You're very likely moving onto the next league of haulers and looking at purpose built that you won't find in FR or the forum here... Premier Custom comes to mind along with Continental Cargo custom-made and Play-Mor from what I can recall seeing around the tracks. There are several owners over at RV.net, but don't post all that often. Heck, maybe a MotorGarage is really what you need ala Haulmark and others?

thank you for the info GEOTEX1, have been looking at those, but we need to have a simple 5th wheel VS a motor coach (need to have two vehicles when we get to an area, as both myself and my wife still work full time) that is the reason why we were looking at the 40 wch had the ability to haul it with our truck and transport the car in it while on the road along with all the other stuff we feel we need. I just refuse to drive two separate vehicles while on the road. I really do not want to have to get my CDL to tow our camper, and if we go to large with the camping unit , then trying to find a campground that can handle that is tough. at least what we have seen so far

Fair enough. Take a look at the Play-Mor 5er haulers.

Don't know about your state but most don't require a CDL for a private RV being pulled by a semi.

This thing would be awesome to haul my car to shows but a 17' back would be tight, the car measures right around 16'. Still a nice rig, I think this is in F-450 territory.

Have you looked at heartland RV. Road warrior
looks like they have 3-6000lb axles but they don't put the hitch weight into the gvwr which Fr does. Might not work but not sure if you saw them.
