RN, we dont have an actual toy hauler but will be leaving Thursday to go to Georgia to pickup a 20x8.5 enclosed trailer w/ AC, insulation, etc etc. Personally, for what I want to do, a toyhauler is a) ineffiecient and b) cost WAY too much.

i had a 2006 sierra sport 26 ft toyhauler, bumper pull. for the three years i had it, it was good.. never had any problems. when i separated from the ex, she took it otherwise i'd probably still have.
i modified one of the cabinets to make the rhino fit in there better. i upgraded the power system from 1-12 volt battery to 2-6 volt batteries.. i recommend this.
we opted for a front bathroom instead of a front bedroom for more cargo room, a bedroom would've been nice though because often people ask to to go/stay with you on weekend trips etc.
plan on getting to your destination early enough to be able to unload the toys and allow plenty of time to let the smell of gas vacate the trailer before you go to sleep. also, sometimes campsites have a quiet time so if you get there late you have to push the toys out and around to lock them up, and set-up the trailer (level, lower beds, etc.) without the generator.
although my trailer came with a cable locking system for the toys, i'd still wake up often at night to check on them. all cables and locks do is keep honest people in check.
if i had to do it all over again though, i'd purchase a motorhome and an enclosed cargo trailer. it was convenient to purchase the toyhauler because i had a diesel, but i don't have the diesel anymore. no more gas smell, no more set-up, no more toys being exposed to the elements overnight.
