1. You Want an Affordable Model
If you don't want to spend a fortune on an RV, then a travel trailer is a great match. These models are smaller in size, which means you'll pay less for the construction materials. They also lack an engine, so you won't be paying for those complex internal parts.
Travel trailers are not only more budget-friendly upfront, but they can be the most cost-effective option in the long run. Their maintenance costs tend to be lower due to the lack of an engine. The lightweight construction of travel trailers makes them more fuel-efficient to tow, saving you money on gas as well.
2. You Want an Easy Hitching Experience
Travel trailers rely on a bumper pull hitch, which is a simple and intuitive hitch style to figure out. Enjoy a stress-free hitching process that you can do on your own, rather than needing to enlist the help of others to wrangle a complex hitching system.
3. You Want More Tow Vehicle Options
Another benefit of a travel trailer's hitching style is that it's compatible with a greater number of tow vehicles. Some RVs can only work with a pickup truck, but travel trailers can be towed by an SUV, a minivan, and many other options. The key is making sure your travel trailer, cargo, and passengers all fall within the tow vehicle's weight limits.
4. You Want an Easy Towing Experience
Travel trailers are easy to tow thanks to their hitching style and lightweight nature. As you go down winding or windy roads, you won't be working against a heavy RV swaying from side to side or obstructing part of your rearview. Instead, enjoy an RV that's easy to transport to your destination.
5. You Want Simple Maintenance
If you don't have tons of time and money to invest in RV maintenance, then a travel trailer is a good match. These smaller RVs take less time to clean inside and out. The lack of an engine means you aren't stuck maintaining one. There will always be some RV maintenance tasks of course, but they will be minimal on a travel trailer.
6. You Want an Upgrade from Tent Camping
Not everyone wants luxury features such as multiple entertainment systems, the fireplace, and high-end kitchen appliances. Some families simply want a step-up from tent camping. Travel trailers allow you to get the upgrades you want, but without paying for features you don’t.
7. You Want Plenty of Choices
The category of travel trailer is a broad one, giving you many options to explore. Pick from a range of sizes, floor plans, colors, sleeping arrangement numbers, and more. It's easy to find an RV that fits your family when there are so many travel trailers on the market.
