We looked at toy hauler when we 1st retired & went full-time 10+ years ago, here's our opinion.
We did not have toys to haul, only a couple of bicycles & thought the extra room would be great as a sort of hobby room/workshop, that part would've worked great. The drawback was it made the living area seemed cramped with the tv about 9' up in a corner at 90 degrees from limited seating areas. By cramped I mean the 2 of us moving around felt crowded with not much room for guest to sit or stand.
Since we've looked a newer ones they've improved the living areas quite a bit, but still feel broken up & small.
Another consideration is if it has a rear or side drop down patio, unless you plan to only boondock you will find VERY few parks that are long/wide enough to use them. Also if you're any thing like us you'll quickly find boondocking regularly will get old & looking for places with more amenities, basically saying you'll want to be "living in" your RV more & not "camping" as much.
Size does matter also, you'll be at 40'+ of RV which will eliminate the majority of state/national parks, they weren't built or designed for RVs of this size, not just THs.
If you're hauling a motorcycle or other larger toys the TH is your only choice, but shop closely to find the best of both, garage & living area.
