Im looking at buying a wheel house but was debating on getting a toy hauler edition or just a regular one. The guys with the toy haulers does the back door leak air or is it pretty well sealed?

Why would you want to sleep or fish with the exhaust smell and spilled gas and oil?

That’s an easy one… Don’t spill gas and oil when you fill it inside the the toy hauler. Fill it outside. Also don’t keep the ATV or whatever running while its inside the fish house… Kind of a no brainer IMO.

Why would you want to haul two different trailers to do things like camp, hunt, and ice fish when you only need one? I converted a utility trailer into a toyhauler/ice house and don’t have any gas/oil/exhaust issues once you let the trailer air out for a few minutes after unloading. If your ATV is leaking any of those you’ve got a bigger issue than just the smell.

Check out the door before you purchase to see if the seal is up to your standards.

August 15, 2017 at 9:01 am #1710119I have a ridgeline toy hauler and I am happy with the ramp door and overall seals on door and windows. It gets used probably once every 3 weeks between fishing, camping, and eventually I hope hunting.
I think I would be disappointed without a hauler ramp. I had planned to put down plastic or rubber when hauling the quad but opted to do proper maintenance – no drips or problems.
August 15, 2017 at 11:38 am #1710148I have a Yetti with the double doors in the rear. YES, it leaks air and YES, it will build a nice snowdrift at the floor if it’s windy. Yetti knew of this issue and all the weather stripping in the world doesn’t keep it from leaking slightly. 95% of Yetti houses now have the drop down rear door and I do not believe there is an issue.
It does suck that mine leaks so bad, but it just isn’t worth it for me to buy a new house. Once I unload for the weekend, I run gorilla tape around the seams to keep air out. It works great and I’ve had no issues, just a pain. I’ve tried rubber flaps, bulb gaskets and PVC foam gasket tape to help seal and none work well or hold up better than just taping the seams for the weekend…
