LAM! Got me a holy grail toy hauler!

[Big B Hova]

Sold my old used toy hauler and wanted to go purchase a brand new one this time.
Found this 2018 Forrest River Shockwave 24fs for a great deal. Don't know how they measure 24 feet because I measure 27.5 feet plus the trailer tongue. Fits my 4 seat RZR plus tons of living & storage space. Roomy bathroom, queen bed upfront. Electric full size bed in rear, couch folds Into a bed, power awning, 15k ac.

I'm happy!

Tight fit. Looks nice.
Bumper pulls jus make me cringe. Even though I have been considering one. Jus hard to go from a gooseneck to a bumper pull.

Congrats and many miles of use and fun

Very nice. Check if the fire extinguisher made by Kiddie. There's a huge recall on those.

 

[Roaddawg]

Congrats man. Looks nice

 

[Advantage 1]

Nice purchase! Congrats!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out!

I want to be able to use my truck bed while towing. I know 5ers tow better. T
The price is what made this one appealing!

Simple. Flat earthers built and measured your trailer.

Looks nice.

Somebody parked a car in your kitchen.

 

[GRADS]

Very nice!

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Are you able to get in there to tie down the RZR?

 

[sml]

Looks nice! And i can’t figure out these manufacturers length specs either....mine is a 2800 but measures out a little over 31 plus the tongue.

Yes. I hook the tie downs in an x pattern and lay them on the floor. Then drive in. Had to do the same on my last toy hauler. But its pretty simple

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Congrats, nice setup.

 

[Flyinbowtie]

Congrats. Looks nice. Since this isn't yer first rodeo you know the RV program..oh and check your springs and balance beam and see if you have the dreaded nylon inserts in mounting points...if so don't run it more than a year or so without dumping them for bronze...find my thread about how quickly they fail...easy to fix at home but a disaster if they fail at home!

So I've heard! I will check it out.

 

[USMC2010]

Very nice! We were originally looking at this same layout in the Sandstorm when we changed and went up one size. Our 25 is 29' tongue to tail, lol. I think you will really like it and I have no issues with a bumper pull even though all of my friends hate them.

 

[charlyox]

Sweet. Congrats. [emoji106]

This!
Brian this is what we were talking about yesterday in the driveway

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

She's a beaut!
We have a '18 Sandstorm with the same layout. Been a great trailer. At least they didn't short us three and a half feet...
When's the first trip?

How long is your toy space ? Will it hold a 2 seater Rzr ?

 

[TCHB]

Very nice. It is strange RVs say 30 and they are really 33ft long. It is the opposite for most boats which include swim steps. See you at Glamis in the morning.

2018 not 18 feet...

 

[Taboma]

Ahhh, OK
I'm considering getting a toy hauler for staying up on our ranch property, but I want a short one if possible that will haul the Rzr, but be able to negotiate the narrow tight rough roads getting in.

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

To answer the question, yes, 2 seat Can Am, one quad and two dirt bikes...

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

Here's the shortest Shockwave:

Plenty of room

 

[JayBreww]

Nice!
Just better do all your shopping before you go out. Ain’t opening that fridge with it loaded up. [emoji1303]

The way his RZR is loaded in the picture, you can still open the fridge.

Thanks, appears with a Rzr you'd hold it tight to the right side, hopefully it would clear those overhead cabinets on the right side ?
I'll have to go check those out. My son has a larger Shockwave, but he needs the room for the kids and dogs. He's certainly happy with it.

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

Can't speak for the RZR cage. Not really close on the Can Am. Same basic cabinet set up as Big BH's.

 

[Big B Hova]

13' x 75"

My front tire was literally 1.5" away from the right wall and it cleared the overhead cabinet by a few inches

Just enough to grab a beer!

 

[Paul65k]

Sweet......very nice!!

My 32RL is actually 34'11".......go figure!!

 

[River Lynchmob]

Nice pick up, congrats!!! I don't get the measurements either. Mine is a 3016GS. While it does have 16' clear for the toys, the length of the trailer is 35'4" including the hitch is 37'4" bumper to ball.

 

[Big B Hova]

Just swapped out the shitty 4" speakers for some 6.5" alpine with 1" spacer rings (just so I didn't gave to cut into the ceiling)

Sounds pretty damn good now!

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

Let the Mods begin!

 

[Hye Power]

Congrats looks real nice.

 

[Singleton]

Nice upgrade. Wife wants that stereo upgrade as well.
My upgrade / mod list on the ToyHauler is longer then the boat. But then again the boat update list currently has big $$ items (refresh interior, upgrade motor, replace carpet with SeaDek), while the ToyHauler has smaller $$ items that allows me to work on it myself with my 6yo daughter being my assistant.
Last update on the ToyHauler was the 2000 watt inverter plus solar charger. The worse part was the battery cables from the battery to inverter. I now have 3 additional outlets (2 inside and 1 outside) powered by the inverter, separate from the 110 genertor/power setup. Allows for coffee to made in the morning when out in the dirt, without firing up the generator and waking up the kids.

 

[Big B Hova]

More upgrades. Stereo sounds amazing. I was going to buy an amp but after the speaker install it sounds great.

Spice rack / key holder

 

[dribble]

In the market. If you don't mind could you PM me with what kind of a good deal you got as opposed to list price. I need a negotiation start point.
