Options In Travel Trailers For Sale

By Harriett Crosby


If you are looking for travel trailers for sale it is important to know what to expect ahead of time. Many people do not know the difference between a motor home, a camping trailer and a travel trailer. Campers and travelers are similar but the size and amenities are worlds apart. Motor homes are in a class by themselves and cannot be compared to a trailer because they are driven rather than towed.

Travelers are much heavier than campers. They are meant to be towed by a van or large truck. A car is too light for these homes. Many models offer pop up sky lights that can be set up by one person in less than a minute. They contain large living spaces, kitchens complete with refrigerator and stove and hot showers in the bath.

You will find a large number of floor plans to choose from. Each one of a manufacturer's models may have several different lay outs and most will look like the interior of a well furnished apartment. You will feel like you are at home when tailgating, vacationing or simply roaming the back roads of America after retirement.

The sizes range from twenty to twenty-four feet in length and twelve to fifteen feet tall. Most do not feature slide out extensions because the size is more than adequate without them and it would detract from the original designs. Many of these models can sleep up to eight comfortably and twelve if you don't mind being cozy.

The vehicle you own may limit the size of any selection you make. You need to own a van or a large pick up to tow the larger models. A car or SUV would prove inadequate for the job possibly leaving you stranded on the side of a road with a break down.

A fifth wheeler is a viable option for those who have a large pick up. Fifth wheelers are as large as the travelers with the added footage of storage or sleeping area over the goose neck. The fifth wheeler attaches to your pick up in the bed by a special hitching assembly. They offer all of the comforts you are looking for while on the road.

The last option is the toy-haulers. These are designed with a platform on the back to accommodate the owner's toys such as dirt bikes, ATVs or bicycles. The platform takes living space from the interior of the vehicle and so the feel is somewhat less luxurious than the other models. They have been likened to a garage on wheels by some consumers.

You can find many models of travel trailers for sale. The average sales lot will have more than one manufacturer and can supply you with information on the models they do not have in stock at the time you visit. It is smart to look into many models and dealers prior to committing. While not as expensive as a home this will be a major purchase in your lifetime and it is better if you truly like what you have chosen.
