Travel trailers are great family-friendly RVs thanks to their many perks and unique design. Read on to learn more about these towable campers.
Definition of Travel Trailers
A travel trailer (also called a travel camper, or camper trailer) is a type of towable RV, which means that it needs a towing vehicle (car, truck, etc.) of sufficient weight and strength to carry it around from place to place. You’ll recognize a travel trailer by its bumper-pull hitch, which anchors onto the rear bumper of the towing vehicle and creates a small gap between the two.
Outside of that distinction, travel trailers can be any size and any shape and span from the frugal to the extravagant in terms of costs. You can find tiny teardrop trailers or enormous camper trailers with multiple rooms and tons of space. It’s hard to pin down the category any more than that.
Towability of Travel Trailers
Never towed anything before? Not a problem! Learning how to tow a travel trailer is easy, and the bumper-pull hitch is pretty intuitive, so you’ll be able to master it quickly.
Once you get in a little practice with turning, reversing, braking, and parking, you’ll be able to navigate pretty much anywhere with your travel trailer in tow.
You can find models that even suit smaller vehicles, like SUVs and minivans, so you won’t have to upgrade your towing vehicle! If you want even easier towing, go with an ultralight model that will readily follow your vehicle without fuss.
