Lite Travel Trailers

If you’re interested in the recreational vehicle lifestyle, but you lack a very large vehicle capable of towing some of the bigger homes out there, you might want to check out a lite trailer instead. A lite travel trailer is a compact form of trailer that weighs less than 6000 lbs. These trailers are easier on both your car and your budget. 

Construction

Manufacturers of lite travel trailers use lightweight materials to make their trailers weigh less from the outset. Aluminum frames and fiberglass on the outside reduce weight while still being strong and sturdy, while lighter weight materials used on the interior mean less dry weight overall without sacrificing quality or aesthetics. Sometimes slide-outs are used to create more space when the trailer is stationery, giving them a more homelike feel.

Towability

Lite travel trailers can be towed by SUVs and other large passenger vehicles, making them ideal for those who don’t want to invest in a half-ton or larger pickup truck. Their light weight and construction make them much easier to tow than a huge rig, which is a boon to people who aren’t used to driving while towing or anyone traveling in high altitudes or frequent bad weather conditions.

Wind Resistance

Often, lite trailers are aerodynamically styled to decrease their wind resistance, making them easier to tow and handle on the road even in windy conditions. Their styling also means they use up less of your gas because of the reduction in drag. Lite trailers are usually shorter and not as tall as other trailers, and their low profile helps decrease wind resistance too.

Cost

Lite trailers cost much less than their heavier counterparts, sometimes thousands of dollars less. This makes them great for budget-minded consumers who are looking to camp without spending too much money. They also use less fuel, so you’ll save at the pump when you’re towing a lite travel trailer, too. You can put these savings towards more fun things on your trips. 

When it comes to towability and saving money, a lite trailer is a great option for campers looking to experience the great outdoors without breaking the bank.
