LIGHTWEIGHT TRAILERS

 Lightweight Trailer Characteristics 

Although there are many popular motorhome options, one of the best RVs for small groups and families is a lightweight travel trailer. These campers come in various sizes and weights, with many being light enough to be towed by compact SUVs and even cars. Besides providing better fuel economy than most types of RVs, lightweight travel trailers are incredibly versatile and perfect for a range of adventures.

A few of the most trusted lightweight trailer manufacturers in the market include Airstream, Crossroads, Dutchmen, Fleetwood, Forest River, International RV, Jayco, nuCamp, Taxa Outdoors, Thor Motor Coach, and Winnebago.

Lightweight Trailer Features

• Most lightweight travel trailers weigh 6,000 pounds or less with lengths between 10 and 22 feet.
• They are constructed with lighter materials and components than most other towable and motorized RVs, and may also be shaped more aerodynamically as well.
• Some lightweight trailers can sleep up to six people, with most sleeping up to four.
• Many lightweight campers for sale come with all the usual amenities you would expect from a travel trailer, such as a bathroom with a toilet, shower, and sink; air conditioning; a queen-sized bed; kitchen appliances such as a stove, fridge, and microwave; couches; an awning; and storage compartments and cupboards.
• Upscale models include additional luxuries and perks, such as solar kits, Wi-Fi, outdoor showers, outdoor fridges and other appliances, flat-panel TVs, LED lighting, bike racks, and king-sized beds or bunk beds.
