The difference that matters

Similar-sized toy haulers that split on hitch and on what comes standard. The XLR Boost 286B is a fifth wheel with a 2,095 lb pin, 9,524 lb dry and a 14,824 lb GVWR, leaving 5,300 lb for toys and gear. The Outdoors RV Trail Series 25TRX weighs 8,900 lb dry with a 1,500 lb hitch, a 13,995 lb GVWR and 5,095 lb of cargo capacity.

The Outdoors RV is the more complete package: a Cummins Onan 4K gas generator, two 200 W solar panels, a 40-gallon fuel station, a ramp rated for 3,000 lb, 6,800 lb axles on load-range G tires, and a fully enclosed, heated underbelly. The XLR answers with a 40-gallon fuel station and generator prep, 200 W of solar, a Euro garage bed and the largest fresh tank of the two, 150 gallons against 100, with 97 gallons of gray against 65. It sleeps six.

Riders with a fifth-wheel truck who want the bigger tanks and cargo margin have the XLR. Buyers who want a generator and cold-weather build from the factory have the Outdoors RV.
