Garage Space – Nearly 14 Feet of Pure Hauling Potential

At the heart of the 17MAV lies one of the most important features for adventure enthusiasts: the garage. With nearly 14 feet of unobstructed length, this space is ideal for hauling UTVs, dirt bikes, kayaks, bicycles, or any combination of gear.

Convertible Living Space – Smart, Functional, and Stylish

One of the most appealing aspects of the 17MAV is the dual-purpose rear living area that transforms effortlessly from a high-capacity garage into a cozy, welcoming living space.

Many toy haulers sacrifice bathroom size and functionality to keep the garage and living space roomy—not so in the 17MAV. The thoughtfully designed bathroom offers comfort, space, and plenty of storage for extended trips.
