The Forest River RV Sandstorm toy hauler fifth wheel is built for adventure seekers who want to bring their toys along on the road. With its rugged exterior and well-appointed interior, this RV offers the perfect blend of functionality and comfort. The Sandstorm lineup includes four floorplans ranging from 35 to 42 feet in length, each sleeping 5-8 people. All models feature at least one slide-out for added living space.

The bottom line: The Sandstorm delivers a versatile, durable toy hauler with spacious garages and comfortable amenities for active RVers, though its size requires a capable tow vehicle.

Try Before You Buy

With an average price point over $80,000, purchasing a Sandstorm represents a significant investment. Renting one through RVshare for around $160 per night allows you to fully experience its features, layout, and towing requirements before making a long-term commitment. You can see firsthand how the Sandstorm's spacious living areas, well-equipped kitchen, and ample storage suit your needs.

Renting also lets you determine what type of truck is needed to safely tow this fifth wheel. For those unsure about towing a large RV themselves, many owners offer delivery, setting up the Sandstorm at your campsite of choice.
