Travel Trailers

Rating Over 28 Different Travel Trailer RV Manufacturers

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. Many units feature a slideout to quickly extend the unit's living space. Small trailers may weigh less than 2,000 pounds and can be pulled with a wide selection of compact vehicles. The ease of towing, combined with their relatively low purchase price, makes them an excellent first choice among RV buyers. Facilities are very compact, but completely suitable for short-term use.

Medium-size travel trailers range in weight up to about 5,500 pounds before supplies and fluids are added, and in price from about $7,000 to about $45,000. These are the most popular travel trailers, the majority requiring some planning in selection of a tow vehicle. Many models are suitable for towing with properly equipped full-size cars. Most models offer a high degree of self-containment, with full bath, galley and dining facilities. Large travel trailers range up to about 11,000 pounds and vary in price from about $35,000 to $100,000. Depending on the floor plan, these units can be suitable for large families, or for extended use by two people. Ranging in size from about 25 to 40 feet, these trailers offer a wider selection of floor plans.

By far this category has seen the most increase in sales volume, out performing all other categories for 2006. Higher gas prices have increased the desirability of travel trailers as never before. Light-weight units have really seen an increase in sales due to ease of towing and affordability.
