We have a similar rig and love it. My only concern with that rig would be the garage size. I would just make sure that 11 is plenty for whatever you would be hauling.

Brought the 2015 FZ 325 home last night.
So far the TH seems to be spot on.
We're moving up from a 26 ft bumper pull.
My concern was the 12,710 "shipping weight" because I've seen where that
weight may not include optional equipment like genies, a/c units, the hydraulic jack system, etc. Those features are heavy and could play into gcwr and rgawr
considerations with our Sierra.
The dealer was willing to weigh the TH ( and I did to ) and it was as advertised at 12,700.
Will reweigh it in different loading configuration to get a handle on "hitch" weight.
Lemme know if you have question.
Good luck.
p.s. LOVE the hydraulic jacks!!

You will like dealing with Holman. We bought ours there last year and it was actually a pleasant experience. Eddie Holberg was our salesman on it

I Will most likely build one to order...I do NOT want a generator or fuel tanks....I'll have no need for them. The rig I'm pulling now weighs 12,800 dry & I scaled perfectly. I would LOVE the 6 point leveling system!
Thanks for your info....

Okay folks.....so the wife & I went to look at the Fuzion 325....We like it a lot!
Question for all you toy hauler owners....we're coming from a 42 foot Bunk House Fiver to this TH.....
Did any of you put a small dresser or cabinet down low in the garage for the kids to put their clothes and such? The 325 has cabinets but they're pretty high out of their reach. And if you did...do you have any photos or links to the cabinet/ dresser?
Mark

Cannt help you with that model ,but we have the Raptor with the 14ft garage and love it .The dogs love the rear deck patio and the side one.You may want to go with the generator just for those long trips where you need to boonedock sometime ,We use ours all the time for that and when the power goes out in the house I dont have to get the generator and cords out we just go in the camper and start the generator

That's one hell of a rig you have there! And thanks for the advice, the salesman convinced me that if I do get it I should get the generator.

We did. If you look at my posts you will see photos of what we did.

I LOVE having the built in generator. It has helped me numerous times getting out of a jam. We have also boondocked a few times and it has been great.

Got her today!
What a great rig....Got everything transferred over to the Fuzion today...Holy mackerel did we have a lot of work to do! LOVE the 6 point leveling system! I tell you one thing...this rig pulls a hell of a lot better than my Elkridge did....Much better ride. (40 mile trip home from dealer) Taking her out on the maiden voyage Thanksgiving weekend....we can't wait!
all for your input!

We bought our toyhauler to have an extra bedroom for daughter's family. I built new cabinets for their stays.

Awesome What did you use for Wood and stain? The Match looks close I might try this with mine.

weigh it
I will tell anyone who buys a th weigh it loaded. what it is rated and what it is are 2 different things. mine weighs 14000 on the 3 axles it gives me 4000 to spare. of course the drive is at 9000+
oh get the generator. when you travel from point to point you might lay over at a wal mart or a truck stop like I do. better to have it than not. we were thankful to have it during the 2011 tornados.

Just wondering
Hey Mark, we take possession of a new 325 on 2/7. I'm wondering what you've learned since you got it...likes/dislikes...how does the 2500HD handle her, do you have air bags, really anything you've learned.
Thanks
