When you see a Class A motorhome going down the interstate, you might imagine a luxurious interior with porcelain floors and beautiful cabinetry. But did you know some motorhomes are actually outfitted with a rear garage? It’s true! Take the Thor Outlaw toy hauler motorhome, for example. Instead of towing a separate trailer for outdoor gear, you can pack kayaks, bicycles, motorcycles, golf carts, and more in the rear of this motorcoach.
Let’s take a closer look at these Outlaw motorhomes!

Starting at around $300,000, the Thor Outlaw is one of the only Class A toy hauler motorhome options for RVers. Thor also makes a Class C Outlaw toy hauler that starts at around $175,950.
