Tips for Buying a Travel Trailer

Blog Posts

1. Set a Price Range

Travel trailers can cost a few thousand dollars, over $100,000, or somewhere in-between. By making a budget, you can instantly eliminate a large number of RVs from your search.

2. Determine Your Tow Vehicle's Limitations

A tow vehicle is required to get the travel trailer to the campground. But not all tow vehicles can transport all travel trailers.

Look up the vehicle’s weight limitations. Remember that this includes the weight of passengers and cargo, not just the towable RV. Keep this restriction in mind when shopping for a travel trailer. You don’t want to buy too heavy of a model for your vehicle to handle!

3. Figure Out Your Passenger Number

Travel trailers can accommodate a wide range of passengers, usually between two and ten people. Think about the number of beds you will need for your traveling party. It also doesn’t hurt to get an RV with an extra space to bring along a friend!

4. Pick Your Must-Have Features

Some travel trailers offer only the essentials, but many are packed full of perks. These can include multiple entries, a second bathroom, and a fireplace. Think about the features you want in your model, then shop accordingly.
