"Highwayman" tow bodies give you 70 cubic feet of storage.

By now you may have guessed, we are big on storage. That's only because our customers have told us over and over that; when you're living on the road, you just don't walk out to the garage to get a drill or a water hose. And you don't want tools in the 5th wheel. So we make sure we give you as much storage as possible.

Just to give you and idea of how much space 70 cubic feet is. The average refrigerator is about 20 cubic feet. The average space in other rv haulers in about 8 cubic feet which is divided into two compartments; one on each side of the truck. Why pay thousands of dollars for a tow body if you can't even stow a suitcase. Needless to say, you will be disappointed with that small of storage area.

When you're on the road you don't have a garage so storage of those items you normally have is a problem.
With the "Highwayman" you have king size storage for a lot of those items like oil, tools, chock blocks, tarps, garden hoses, lawn chairs, fishing gear, etc. You don't want this stuff smelling up your RV and living space is limited. This is why you should buy a "Highwayman". No other RV tow body gives you the space to keep these items.

Remember, you will have this unit for a long time. Get a good one.

Check out the standard features of our world class rv haulers:
Marine grade heavy gauge aluminum construction (1/8" decking and 3/16"body panels), stainless steel paddle handle slam locks, stainless steel piano-style continuous door hinges- 1/4" pins, automotive weather stripping around all doors, adjustable shelves, 12 volt interior cabinet lights, gas-assisted door springs, 1/2" flex mats, 30,000 pound combo fifth wheel or gooseneck ball hitch, extra heavy duty Class 5 receiver hitch, rubber fender trim, wheel well undercoat, four double tie downs in bed, white body paint, white Zolatone coating on the inside of the compartments, and charcoal Zolatone coating on the inside of the bed.

Stop, turn, and backup LED lights. As you know, LED lights take very little power to run, last longer, and are two to three times brighter. That's why we use'em.

Our top-side "Bonus" compartment may become your favorite stash for smaller tools, duct tape, and items you use a lot. Being chest level, it 's easy to get to and since it's a top open compartment, you can fill it up if you like. You'll be amazed at what you can put in these top-side compartments. And you get two of them! Warning men: The ladies will try to take these compartments for themselves. (Roll-Over Image)

As standard equipment, a locking fuel filler box on all our Highwayman packages keep the fuel thieves away. They don't know what's in the box and will need a key to find out. There's also drain holes in case of spillage.

Adjustable shelves are standard in all side compartments.

Allows you to carry larger items like wash buckets, tool boxes, or you can take the shelf out completely for extra large cargo.

The shelves have a 3 inch flange which is deep enough to keep your smaller items from sliding around. A high density plastic floor keeps everything off the metal surface and gives a nice appearance.

Rather have drawers instead of shelves? Drawers allow you to really organize the smaller things. We even let you pick the size of drawers, and how many. You could have drawers on one side and shelves on the other. (Rollover image)

Save time fumbling around for a flash light on those dark, rainy nights.

Switched 12 volt interior lights hard-wired to your truck in all side compartments.

Gas charged door props make opening the doors a smooth operation. And they prevent the door from slamming against the side of your truck. We set them up to be an over-center operation so once the door is mostly closed, they start pulling the door shut. This also keeps the doors from opening accidentally.

Running Boards add an extra step, making getting in and out of your truck a snap. Added marker lights demand attention at night from side traffic and as a bonus, they also light up the ground for a safer entry and exit. Plus, there's nothing like running boards to add beauty to a truck.

We took the pain out of carrying a spare tire that most other RV toters don't have at all.

This compartment will be your best friend the first time you have a flat tire. We've heard some say, you're not going to change a tire anyway. Why bother to take one. We both know it's not a matter of if it happens. When it does, you may get stiffed by the guy changing your tire. But one, you will have a spare tire to change, and two, you won't be charged tripple for it. Plus, there's extra room in this compartment for stuff you don't use very often. i.e. Jumper cables, bottle jack, snow chains, water jug, etc. You won't see this anywhere else!

Chances are you'll never need this much hitch, but like everything else, we like over-kill. Especially with our hitches. Reese, rated at 30,000 pounds. We also install air ride hitches and suspensions.

More options:
Painted tiara with LED directional lights; load lights; painted running boards with LED lights and diamond plate overlays; "Kelderman" Air Ride"; 50gal auxiliary diesel fuel tank with spare tire holder; air horns; flow-through tailgate; spring-loaded pullout step; custom paint (*Available options vary per model.)

Worried about swing room? "Highwayman" tow bodies are designed to work with all 5th wheel and goose neck trailers.

The Wrangler™ RV Hauler body is a sleek, simplified version with fewer storage compartments. This model has beautiful lines and still has large side compartments with a center hatch to keep your spare tire and a few other items. This one shown with with optional tiara and running boards.

Having the Highway Products "Highwayman" rv hauler on our F-450 really helps. I spent 1999 researching beds for MDTs (medium duty trucks) before we chose theirs, which happened to be on an F-450 out of Eugene, Oregon. Highway Products is located near where we resided before beginning our full-time RVing and I'd gone out to see the plant and beds. The "Highwayman" has more than 70 cubic feet of storage, with two front storage boxes with pass-through storage area (kayak paddles fit there), two back storage boxes, two over-the-wheel well boxes and a center hatch (spare tire and other things go there)—more than any rv hauler for the F-450/550 that I know of, and many Class 6 MDT rv haulers too.

All our hiking/backpacking, mountain biking, dual-line stunt kites, kayaking and other outdoor gear is there. Well, the Dagger Blackwater 10.5 recreational kayaks are on the roof rack above the cab and the bikes are on a rack on the back of the Excel 5W when traveling since we drive to locations most times to do those activities. We have 133,000 miles on our 2000 Ford F-450 with the "Highwayman" rv hauler and love the combination. We love this bed, plain and simple.
