Travel Trailers – Versatile, Towable Comfort for Every Budget
Travel trailers are the most popular type of towable RV, offering a huge range of sizes, floorplans, and features to fit almost any camping style. From compact weekend rigs to spacious family models with multiple slide-outs, travel trailers combine flexibility, comfort, and affordability
What is a Travel Trailer?
Travel trailers are towable RV’s that hitches to the rear bumper or frame of a tow vehicle using a standard ball hitch. They range from lightweight 12-foot single-axle campers to 40-foot luxury models with residential kitchens and king beds.
Inside, layouts vary widely — you can find bunkhouses for families, couples’ retreats with large living areas, and even toy-hauler travel trailers with rear garages. Many have slide-outs to expand interior space, outdoor kitchens for easy cooking, and pass-through storage for gear.
Their versatility makes them popular with weekend campers, seasonal travelers, and even some full-time RVers.
