In this issue we review toy haulers and the innovations that make this type of RV – which include motor home, travel trailer and fifth wheel models – so popular. By offering many of the amenities, luxurious interior features and dynamic exteriors found in high-end motor homes coupled with an expansive cargo area, these RVs have become the RV choice for many of those who actively pursue outdoor adventure.

It is always exciting to discover the latest innovations that are being introduced in the ever-evolving RV industry and have we got news for you! There really is a remote that can do "everything." Imagine having a gadget that will not only surpass your entertainment needs but it will also tell you if bad weather, or stop-and-crawl traffic is ahead. Additionally, at the touch of a button it will tell you where you can find the cheapest gas, or a great restaurant. All of this is at your fingertips with the Open Road Media Center, a space-saving marvel essentially consisting of a remote control and compact computer.
