Whether you’ve just purchased a new travel trailer or owned your model for years, you’ll want to check out our helpful article below! In it, we’ve listed several amazing travel trailer upgrades that are guaranteed to come in handy as you travel the open road. If you have questions about upgrading or customizing your travel trailer, feel free to stop by Horn Rapids RV to speak with one of our expert employees. 

Lithium Batteries

Lithium batteries are the best choice for travel trailer owners! Not only are these batteries longer-lasting than lead-acid batteries, but they also require less overall maintenance. Lithium batteries are also much lighter in weight than lead-acid alternatives, allowing you to make extra space for helpful gear and luggage on your next travel trailer trip.

Suspension

If you’re a real travel enthusiast, we recommend upgrading your travel trailer’s suspension system whenever you get the chance. This will not only reduce the overall wear and tear on your tow vehicle but also make driving with your trailer a much smoother experience. As an added benefit, an upgraded suspension system will allow you to travel off-road with your travel trailer, making camping in secluded areas a breeze!

Disc Brakes 

While most travel trailers are fine with a standard set of drum brakes, if you’re traveling through hilly or mountainous terrain, or your travel trailer is a bit larger than the average model, it may be a good idea to upgrade to a more powerful set of disc brakes. Disc brakes will not only hold your trailer in place no matter the circumstances but will also provide you with more control as the driver.
