Is a smart car the only car that will fit in the Thor Outlaw 37RB Toy Hauler Class A Motorhome? What size car will fit inside, and is it the only RV with garage? The RV Garage in my Motor home is about 9.75 feet aka 117 Inches in length. My Smart Car is about 107 Inches Long. If you’re looking for an RV with car garage, then you’re probably wondering, “What size car will fit in a toy hauler?”

Well, you might be surprised to know cars like the Toyota IQ (the smallest 4 seater car I can find) will fit in a class a toy hauler as well. But, not mine! The Thor Outlaw 38MB and Thor Outlaw 38KB have more space in terms of length and height. Although the RV Garage Capacity might only hold 1600 lbs of weight. All things to think about when trying to buy an RV with a garage or trying to find a car that will fit in your RVs garage.

Here is the video transcript:

00:00:00 is this smart car the only car that will fit in this RV garage that’s a good question and one that I’m answering today about my 2018 Thor outlaw 37RB toy hauler class a Motorhome it’s Blogging Brandi here from RVersity a University for RVers and I get asked a lot of questions but today I wanted to answer the one that I get asked a lot is about my RV garage which we’re in so if you haven’t seen my RV garage can hold a smart car it was something that I researched for a really long time people say hey is that the

00:00:38 only car that you can put in the garage is a smart car and I know why you’re probably asking is because the smart car only fits two people I thought I would tell you what research I’ve found I’m still looking into this so one thing you want to think about is the length of the car in the garage as well as the weight capacity in the garage so in this garage the measurements on it are about nine feet maybe like nine point four that’s in length and you need to think about width of the smart car I think is maybe a hundred and six inches maybe I can show

00:01:14 you so you see from this garage you’re on the ring light – this door here 116 inches 116 inches in length maybe give or take an inch or two but I came out to like nine and a half feet almost okay but you really want to measure this but I knew this smart car would go in this garage because I knew somebody else had done it the smart car itself is one hundred and six or seven inches in length and then of course you measure the width but there is another car that I do believe will fit in not this RV but

00:01:53 a similar RV so if you look at the 2020 and they may have like a 2019 2018 but look at the Thor outlaw 38MB and also check out the Thor 38KB those are both some options and the reason I said check those out is because they have longer garages maybe by foot or half a foot but the Toyota iQ I believe will fit I measured it it was like a hundred and sixteen or seventeen inches I didn’t measure it I found the measurements on it online but the Toyota iQ is one that I think will fit I’ve checked some of the smaller cars but

00:02:35 they just don’t really seem to in the RV yeah that’s what I found out so far so you might wanna check out some other RVs that are similar to this RV and I’ll put a link to that below this video just to give you some specs on the cars let’s check this out so on the smart car this smart car in length is a hundred and six inches and the other car I’m talking about is a hundred and seventeen inches and then it even talks about one of the Scion iQ 120 inches so these cars are small but what you want to look at and just so you can see

00:03:19 what this Toyota iQ is I think it’s a four-seater car yeah you can put like four people in this thing and then a smart car that I was you know my car obviously you can only put two people in but the outlaw that I’m talking about you have the 38 KB and the 38 MB and these have bigger garages so if you go to Thor’s website and you look at this you can see the garage it’s like 9 by 10 feet and 10th 10 feet 2 inches almost so you can fit you’re looking from one side to the other in length and then also in width but this is for the KB and then

00:04:09 you just want to look at the same thing for the MB and this one tells you there’s a garage 8 by 10 but then this has a drop-down bunk so you want to think about the height of the car so that’s something else to think about because the height in here is obviously I mean you can see it’s only this high but if I walk over here you can see that I can raise my hands because I have this cabinet here in my garage and then I have couches too on either side of my garage which I’m trying to sell if anybody wants another one that I would look at is maybe they

00:04:50 and this is rvs but the canyon star I think the Newmar Canyon star which is maybe older one you can find and it’ll fit a car but again you want to look at the weight length height width of the car length height width of the RV and also look at the weight class of what you’re going to be towing if you look at say a lot of the 38 MB and you look at the specs on it it will tell you on the specs it’ll say garage capacity so garage capacity 1600 pounds and so you just want to check that there may be some other cars but those are my small

00:05:28 part in the Toyota iQ are the ones that I found but the IQ won’t fit in this RV it’ll fit most likely in the Thor KB and Thor MB just an off the 37 RB the other thing is I will tell you that KB and the MB are really similar to this it’s just a couple little things that are different like how the bunk is in the back and then some of this setup in the front from having like a dinette versus a couch and then the bathroom the way it’s set up so floor plans are a little different but the general layout is about the same that’s fun and you just

00:06:00 have to look at how the garages and what you’re gonna be putting in there hopefully I answered your question thanks for asking a question if you have any more please drop them below this video and if you haven’t subscribed be sure to subscribe now if you have questions about buying a RV or trying to find the right RV for yourself then don’t forget to pick up my RV buying guide down below this video I’ll drop a link to that until the next time I’m boggin Brandi and this is rversity a university for rvers and if you
