I just purchased a xlr viper 305v16 and it is perfect for needs. It has a 16 foot garage and all the extras you could want.

I too am looking for a 14 foot garage model. I am considering the Stealth LM3814. Haven't found much talk about it online, but it sure is a nice model.

My wife and I purchased a 41ft XLR triaxle TH with a 14 ft garage in 2011. We tow it with a Ford SuperDuty F-450. On the road you hardly know you are pulling it. We love the TH. When not using the garage for our golf cart we use it as a den. We bought two compact recliners and a 29 inch tv. Makes relaxing very easy. The only downside I can think of is the sheer size of the rig. I ran it in the ditch in front of our house on about the third trip out and then scrapped a traffic pole at a campground. Had to replace a lower panel as a result of the "ditch trip" to the tune of only $200 and had to replace the front steps for about $300, including labor for the scrapped sign. Wish I had the 6 point leveling system and more experience in towing such a big rig. All in all we love it.

You should take a look at the new Work and Play Catalyst line. They have a new 5th wheel with a 17' garage! They are really nice and loaded with standard features!

We had a FR wolf pack 27 WP to haul our two full size Harley Trikes. We could easily get them in there end to end, but once they were in, you were not using the camper until they were unloaded. So we started looking for a 5er with at least a 14' garage, but did not find one we liked, as the living space just got smaller. We fell in love with the new Vengenance 39R12, and after some measuring, figured we could get the trikes in there, so we bought it on the spot. The TH is actually 41'-7" 13k empty, 18k gross. The first trike gets backed in on the right side (yes I have reverse) and the second one pulled straight in on the left. Both are 4 point strapped. Unless you have something that really needs the length, you might want to check out the 39R12. 60k price range, if you shop.

what is the weight rating for the garage? Just curious, 16 feet would accommodate some small cars or a Jeep.

Sticker says 2000, and both trikes together weigh in at 1800.

Is that trailer cargo capacity or just the garage capacity?

So you must have two stickers?

One for garage
And one for everything ahead of garage?

Turbo, thanks, we really like it! More living area than we ever had before, and we don't have to unload the trikes if we don't want to. Great for Wal Mart camping!

We have the xlr 300x14. It has the 14' garage. It has the triple axles. The garage weight capacity is 300lbs on this unit. We carry 4 four wheelers back there and go to West Virginia. My family really enjoys our home away from home.
