Guide to Travel Trailers
If you are a part-time RVer, the travel trailer may be an option worth taking a look at. It gives you some of the freedom of a full blown RV without the price.
A travel trailer is not quite a traditional RV. The obvious difference is you pull a travel trailer. At their core, travel trailers are essentially a form of a mobile home on wheels. Of course, they are designed to be hauled to and fro and can take a beating with the best of them.
Travel trailers come in a wide variety of forms. Some are tiny with next to no amenities basically a place to sleep. Others are really big and basically serve the purpose of a full blown home you can haul all over the place for extended trips limited only by your budget. Lets take a closer look.
The bottom of the market is the trailer that retails from about $12,000 or less. These trailers are the roughing it version of the market. You are going to get cheap fabrics and appliances, to the extent you get them. These appliances may be limited solely to a small propane stove. If there is any type of a bathroom facility, it will be laughably tiny. When considering this type of trailer, you need to be comfortable buying what is essentially a sleeping space and somewhere to get out of bad weather.
Moving up a step, trailers priced from $35,000 on down are tailored more towards the traditional RV travel experience. These trailers tend to come in two forms. The first is a shorter unit with lots of amenities. The second is a bigger, longer unit with fewer amenities, but a ton of living space for the price. Which should you choose? It depends on whether you need space or not. If not, go with the amenities version.
High-end trailers tend to be a luxury item. Whether to buy one is a matter of personal preference between preferring to haul the trailer or buy and drive a traditional RV. Why? Well, the prices are comparable. You can spend up to $100,000 or more on a high-end trailer. As a result, you need to ask yourself whether an RV would be preferable. There is no right answer, just your personal choice.
The quality and cost of travel trailers tend to be very brand specific. When shopping for them, make sure to research the different units and then canvas as many dealers as possible. You will be surprised how prices differ.
