That sounds like a good idea too there Rick. I would suggest one thing if you have any walls that you cover them with this FRP (fiberglass reinforced panels) that way it is all cleanable surfaces. The health folks like that stuff too.
The FRP is a givin I think. 3 sinks, stainless counter for prep and counter for assembly, propane hookup for at least 3 high heat burners with venting I assume. Another seperate fridge would probably be needed. Must leave room for a smoker which could be rolled outside since I would want wood fired. Hmmm. Someday maybe.
what is a toy hauler camper? Just a regular type pull behind camper, self contained?

A toy hauler is a trailer w/ sleeping area in the front and a large rear area w/ a ramp door in the rear for hauling your toys (dune buggy ,4 wheelers ,motorcycles etc.
Rick, check the frame and weight load under the unit. Most the toy haulers I see here in Colorado have a relatively light load capacity.
Food, reefers, water, ect on the back end behind the axles can weight a lot more then a couple motorbikes or 4 wheelers.
Love the idea, but I want you safely there.

Excellent point. I suppose you could design around limitations to some extent but will be a must to look at. Thanks
You can roll the axles, then ladder bar the back to the drag axle. Gains you about 450 pound in tail end payload. Works real nice if they are using torsions.
LOL. Not even a thing yet just knockin around an idea. LOL I only got a 7500 lb tow capacity! LOL
Just as they can change where a tire gets forced to the road, backwards they can change the load distribution of a trailer.
