One owner put it simply: it was the only smaller unit that fit their side-by-side, and it "pulls nicely full or empty". Which says a lot about the 186's appeal. At just under 26 feet, it punches above its size class by squeezing in a full bath alongside a functional garage, making it genuinely useful rather than just technically a toy hauler. Forest River's wide dealer network means parts and service are rarely hard to find, though as with most mass-market builds, a close pre-purchase inspection goes a long way. If you're hauling a compact SxS or dirt bikes and want something easy to manage on the road, the 186 hits a practical sweet spot.
Other travel trailers floor plans (around 25 ft 10 in), similar in size and price to the Sandstorm 186.
