Travel Trailer Buying Tips

The broadest RV category is that of travel trailer. It's wonderful having so many choices of sizes, features, and price points - but it can also make navigating the options a bit overwhelming!

Ask yourself the following questions to help narrow down the search.

How Much Do I Want To Spend on a Travel Trailer?

Some travel trailers cost a few thousand dollars. Some cost over $100,000. Most models fall somewhere in the middle.

This large range of prices means that you can easily find a travel trailer that suits your unique RV budget. Spend some time looking over your finances, then determine what your realistic budget should be. This will instantly eliminate all of the campers that are outside that range from your search.

What Can My Tow Vehicle Handle?

Tow vehicles vary in the amount of weight that they can safely and legally handle. Remember that this amount includes the weight of passengers and camping supplies, not just the travel trailer. You don't want to get too heavy of an RV and then be limited in the items you can bring on your trip!

What Do I Feel Comfortable Towing?

Your tow vehicle may be able to handle a massive travel trailer, but that doesn't necessarily mean you are ready to tow one! Those new to the RV lifestyle may want to stick to smaller travel trailers that are easier to tow.

How Many People Are Traveling With Me?

If you want to travel with others, you'll need to make sure that the RV has enough beds!
