- Frequency of your road travel
- Distances and durations of your travels
- Your own comfort levels with regard to:
a. Staying in hotels
b. Pulling a trailer
c. Being independent of restaurants
d. Needing to carry lots of “stuff” with you
- Budgetary considerations which might push you toward a trailer or a Class C or A motorhome or away from any of these options
Decisions, decisions, decisions. If you are comfortable pulling a trailer around behind you and you don’t mind unhitching at your destination so that you can tour unencumbered, this might be just the thing for you. Travel trailers are in the class of fun toys and don’t have to be too expensive to buy or maintain. You can keep yours in your garage, or backyard, or even rent a storage space to store it when not using it. The maintenance on a trailer is minimal, especially when measured against a Class A, B, or C motorhome. No engine = no troubles. Licensing and insurance should be a fraction of the costs of licensing and insuring a motorhome.
The big question about a travel trailer is always the same, “do you want one?” The secondary question is, of course, “which one do you want?” In today’s marketplace, all you need to do is click around and you will surely find not only a dealer who will gladly convince you that you really need to buy a travel trailer and that he or she has just the right one for you. You can also find dealers that will rent travel trailers of various descriptions for the weekend or for an extended trip. This is a way to find out if you are comfortable with a travel trailer and which type/style/model you are most comfortable with. If you plan extensive research in this area, you might be spending lots of weekends on the road, often with trailers you don’t particularly like. Whatever you decide on, have fun and enjoy RV’ing.
