Meet Chase Booth: A Passion for RV Innovation

Chase Booth didn't set out to be a toy hauler guy—but he certainly became one. After entering the RV industry in 2009, Chase spent over 12 years honing his expertise in sales before joining Grand Design in 2021. Now, as the Product Manager for Momentum, he leads one of the most successful toy hauler lines in the industry.

"Would I have called myself a toy hauler guy three years ago? Probably not," Chase admits. "But now, I’d say I absolutely am. They’ve evolved so much—far beyond just hauling toys."

That evolution is exactly what makes Momentum special. Designed for more than just off-road vehicles, these haulers have become multi-purpose, residential-style spaces that cater to families, adventurers, and full-time RVers alike.

What is a Toy Hauler? A Lineup for Every Lifestyle

When people hear "toy hauler," they often think of off-road enthusiasts loading up ATVs and dirt bikes. But today's toy haulers offer so much more. Chase breaks down the different types of toys (and uses) that Momentum haulers are built for:

✅ Side-by-sides & UTVs – Designed to accommodate a variety of sizes, from compact two-seaters to wide-body models.
✅ Motorcycles & Golf Carts – Whether you’re heading to Sturgis or the golf course, Momentum has the space.
✅ Kayaks & Paddleboards – Ideal for water lovers who want easy transport for their gear.
✅ E-bikes & Outdoor Equipment – More RVers are using toy haulers for storage and adventure gear, not just motorized vehicles.
✅ Home Offices & Extra Living Space – Some owners convert the garage into mobile offices, kids' rooms, or even second living areas.

"Toy haulers used to be all about function, but today, they’re about flexibility. They’re evolving into a lifestyle choice." – Chase Booth

Momentum's Market Dominance: The Power of Innovation

Momentum is more than just another toy hauler—it’s a market leader. Chase reveals some eye-opening stats:

📊 1 in 4 toy haulers sold in North America is a Grand Design Momentum.
📊 Momentum fifth wheels account for 20% of the toy hauler market.
📊 Momentum travel trailers lead with a 25% market share.

So, what’s driving this success?

"It’s simple—we listen to our customers. Every change we make is based on what real RVers need. Plus, Grand Design’s customer service is second to none."

The Momentum Garage: More Than Just Storage

The garage is the heart of any toy hauler, and Momentum’s new garage LiftSuite is setting a new standard.

Introducing the Momentum LiftSuite

The all-new P2K Project 2000 BedLift System makes it easier than ever to convert your garage space. Unlike traditional HappyJac beds, the P2K lift operates independently of the benches, offering:

✅ Lightning-fast setup – Flip a switch, and the bed lowers instantly.
✅ Brighter interiors – Integrated LED lighting ensures no dark spots.
✅ Enhanced storage – Large garage windows and loft areas add functional space.
✅ Adjustable seating – Benches can be arranged as cots, a bar, or even a workbench.

L-Track Anchoring System: Customizable and Secure

One of the most exciting changes to the Momentum lineup is the L-Track tie-down system.

"Before, we had six to nine D-rings in a fixed position. Now, with the L-Track system, owners can adjust their anchor points every two inches along the track. That means total flexibility when loading gear."

More Storage, More Possibilities

Storage is always a priority in an RV, but toy haulers often sacrifice storage space for garage functionality. Momentum is solving this with a lowered generator position that creates extra pass-through storage without increasing the overall height.

✅ Drop-frame storage design for increased capacity.
✅ Beaver-tail storage box – Large enough to fit tools, gear, and even (as proven on the podcast) a full-grown adult!
✅ Hidden L-track system for a clean, residential-style floor.

Momentum Travel Trailers: MAV vs. G-Class

Grand Design offers two distinct toy hauler travel trailer lines:

Momentum G-Class – Feature-rich with premium construction:

✅ Laminated sidewalls for durability.
✅ Goodyear tires & ABS brakes for better handling.
✅ Three-season doors & full patio kits for outdoor living.
✅ Onboard fuel & generator options for extended off-grid camping.

Momentum MAV – A more accessible, rugged option:

✅ 101-inch wide-body design – More space in a compact package.
✅ Heavy-duty chassis & axles – Built for rough terrain.
✅ Cost-effective design – Fewer frills, more adventure.

"MAV is for the RVer who just wants to get out there and ride. No unnecessary extras—just solid performance."
