I'm looking for feedback on 5th wheel/toy haulers

[Synnamin]

My hubby and I have an International 4900 crew cab (former fire truck) we are converting to a fifth wheel hauler. We are looking at mounting our CamAm Spyder behind the cab. If anyone has ideas on a good hydraulic lift for this we would like to hear. Our next big dilemma is a choice for a trailer. I want a toy hauler. I like the idea of the hideaway bed area, second bathroom, and the deck on the ramp. I figure the garage is great if we do need the work on the bike, as well as room to carry a kayak or 2. I like the ramp deck, and sitting area in the toy haulers. My hubby wants just a 5th wheel with a large living room. Go figure...he's the mechanic and I want the garage? There are a couple of things we agree on... 2 bathrooms, a real bathtub and an island in the kitchen. If any one has owned both we would appreciate some feedback as to pros and cons. Thanks

This is the link for a pretty cool lift.

Can lift and CamAm Spyder or a Smart Car.

I only have experience with having the 2 bathrooms, love it! As for the lift, it's probably something you'll have to custom engineer and build. I have seen a truck that had a Smart Car parked sideways on it once, so it's very doable. An engineered ramp system may even work, rather than some sort of hydraulic lift.

Why not just load the Spyer in the TH?

That's cool! The one I had seen, the guy made himself. Looking on that site, I saw this Motorcycle Loader, may be able to use the trike adapter and load it backwards.

We haven't decided in the toy hauler or regular 5th wheel yet. If we go with the regular 5th wheel we will need the lift.

The trike lift looks awesome. I'm going to drop them a line.

Spendy, ohhhhh yes but It just might be the easy way.

If it was me I would put a hitch right over the back axle of the truck and pull the biggest three axle TH I could afford.
Spyder in the back and you can still have the party deck.
