    Had both, toyhauler because of the amenities.

    Do you run a gas or diesel?

    If diesel I'd say toyhauler
    If gas I'd say enclosed.

    It basically all comes down to the toilet. Either you haul the extra weight of a toyhauler for the water & tanks, or you stay simple in an enclosed and camp and use a thunderBox.

    If there is a woman involved get a diesel and a toyhauler.

    I have this model with an 8" lift and double fold down bunks in the back of it. It's a 24 long and weighs 8500 lbs dry. I can put a stock suzuki samurai in The back of it. I believe it's the best hunting / camping trailer combo For
    my money!

    Have gone thru this thought process a few times and here is my opinion. If you intend to use for family camping, get a toyhauler with amenities(makes momma way happier). After Sept heat will become a issue so gen will be required for trailer heater or electric. I have a 4 season camper and a enclosed with heat and fold up bunks. Campers good till end of Sept-mid Oct. Enclosed with heat till Dec. Put a rutted up buck in camper and wife put a end to that so the enclosed. But I sure like Allan's setup.

    You can put a washroom easily enough in an enclosed and also put a wood heater in there too, you can do whatever really, a toyhauler is okay as well, and will be more comfortable

    I'd get a Work&Play and throw a small woodstove in it.

    One thing to be aware of is some of the Work & Play models are not insulated.

    I have a gas engine EcoBoost I don't need the bathroom part but work and play converted and camperised professionally I'm thinking. But the toy haulers you get the bathroom seems to be a little lighter then a cargo trailer and you can get some reasonable my question would be are they warm enough in the late-season hunting and are the body's durable for the logging roads
