Just make sure you don't exceed the GVWR of your tow vehicle w/ the added weight of your "toys".

I have nothing but good things to say about toyhaulers.  I like taking my home with me and living nicely when we're on travel.  If you're worried about potential fuel smells in your living area, the simple solution would be to buy a toyhauler, like I have, that has a garage that is physically separated from the living area.   You didn't mention about what size of toyhauler you were thinking of or what your pull vehicle would be.  If you get a "pull behind" toyhauler, they can be anywhere from 16 to 30 feet long and most of them involve storing the bike when you're moving, in the living area of the trailer.  There are a few models of pull behinds that have separate garages.  If you're looking at getting a heavy duty diesel-powered pickup, and have a little bigger budget, then you'd be interested in a 5th wheel toyhauler.  Alot more amenities inside, and most have separate garages that can range from 10-14 feet.  My 36 footer has a 12 foot garage.   Look around if you're truely interested, there's a model out there to fit just about everyone's needs and budget.

I have a 24' Toy Hauler.  I have postioned the SERG to where I can leave it in the trailer while we sleep.  Mine has the drop-down bed in the rear.  That comes in handy if you arrive at your destination real late, or it happens to be raining.  I don't ever smell gasoline smell...just exhaust right after I load the SERG.  I travel with the vents open and by the time I get to my destination all of the fumes are gone. 

I LOVE MY TOY HAULER!!!

As long as you don't have any fuel or oil leaks, or carry vented containers of gas, odors from the bike will not be a problem (in my experience). And you can really open them up to air out if necessary.
Take to heart the advise to be careful to check the weight of the trailer and add the bike(s) and other stuff. Don't forget some carry over 100 gallons of water. Add another 600 or so lbs. for that.
What are you towing with ?

There is some really good information here. I can only add buy the largest one you can because you will want a longer one later! I love riding long trips but I can't plan around the weather. When you have a toy hauler the weather really doesn't matter.

When life changes on you and you can't make the rides you use to  - load it up and go.
