Travle Trailers Travel trailers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from a small bedroom on wheels to the equivalent of a Class A motorhome without the engine and transmission.

Newer travel trailers feature a slide-out or two that quickly extends the unit's living space. There are many different sizes and floorplans available and larger trailers can weigh as much as 10,000 pounds, which requires a large heavy duty truck to pull unit. Smaller travel trailers or light-weight trailers will weigh around 6,000 to 4,000 pounds. Another classification is called, ultra-lite or hybrid trailers which typically weight less than 3,100 pounds and can be pulled with a SUV or normal size pickup truck. Travel trailers are an excellent first choice for first time RV buyers because of ease of towing, combined with their relatively low purchase price.

Advantages: Travel trailers are very affordable costing $15,000 to $75,000 on average. They come in many different floorplans to accommodate anyone’s travel needs. Light-weight trailers are easy to tow and don’t require a large truck, which allows RV buyers to use their existing SUV or small truck. Most travel trailers can sleep up to six people and there is adequate storage for your belongings. Once at your favorite destination you can unhitch your tow vehicle and travel to local sites, restaurants or travel to town for supplies.

Disadvantages: Travel trailers can be overloaded and exceed weight limits set by the manufacturer, which can cause undo stress on the structure. You cannot travel in the trailer while it is being towed this is illegal, which may be a problem for large families. Travel trailers are not typically designed for full-time use. Appliances, showers and plumbing fixtures are not adequate for full-time use. If you plan to travel long distances or spend three months or longer in your RV you may want to consider a Class C Motorhome or a Fifth Wheel. There are luxury travel trailers available for such use, but they will cost more. Travel trailers have limited storage space and this can be a problem for some.

FREE GUIDE - Learn How to Spot a Well-Built RV A common mistake with most new RV buyers is that the floor plan is the most important aspect in their RV purchase. It is estimated that over 90% of new RV buyers focus more on floor plans than anything else. In contrast, most experienced or educated RV buyers focus on the chassis or frame, drive train, engine, suspension and exterior construction when selecting a particular RV model. Bottom line - What’s underneath your motorhome, trailer or fifth wheel is the most important aspect and should take top priority in your decision process. Focusing on these important features will ultimately determine how satisfied you are with your purchase.
