Question Considering upgrading our rig to a Toy hauler

HI everyone! First year with our Jayco Jay Feather 21' TT. Already looking to upgrade to a 5th Wheel toy hauler. (surprise!). We will be using an F450 to pull the trailer. We want to put a small car in the toy hauler space, so we can use it to visit our customers when we travel across Western Canada. Not really wanting to use the big dually to do the daily sales calls. What type of cars do people put in their toy haulers? Or...do you all just use that space for your "toys"? (quad, etc). Thanks for all your info.

Garages r only rated for 2500#
Door is the biggest limiting factor.

One of those death trap smart cars weigh 1600# and would easily fit in a toy hauler.
There is a couple here locally that have a full size, single rear axle Volvo semi and pull their rear living floor plan 5th wheel and put their smart car on the truck sideways close to the back of the sleeper. They drive it on from the passenger side of the truck too.
A Chevy Spark weighs 2300#. Has a 9gal gas tank and gets 30mpg.
Fiat 500 is about 2400#

If you open to other brands I've been following the ATC brand for awhile. Great looking trailers and can fit a full size jeep wrangler in some of the models.

Two problems with the car hauling idea. They aren’t designed for the weight of a car. Hey are designed for a motorcycle or golf cart. Depending on the model, the garage only goes from 9-13 ft.
