Narrowing down your options for your next trailer can be a little tough, especially given the size of the market. Travel trailers offer unique features that some campers find more beneficial for them than the features from other trailer types. This won’t be true for everyone, but if you think you’re going to settle on a travel trailer, then stop by Sumner RV in Sumner, Washington to check out some of these models for yourself.
Tow Vehicles
Travel trailers are towable RVs, meaning you’ll need a motorized vehicle to haul them from one place to the next. Unlike other towable campers, the type of hitch does not restrict the kind of tow vehicle you can use. This means you can theoretically use anything from a pickup truck to an SUV to even a smaller car. The only requirement is that the tow vehicle must be able to safely haul the additional weight. Ask your vehicle manufacturer about what your car or truck can tow and figure out if it’s safe to use that tow vehicle for your travel trailer. If you’re lucky and careful, you won’t have to buy a new car to match your new travel trailer.Another advantage to the towing options of a travel trailer is that the hitch is easier to learn with. It won’t take as long to figure out how to hitch the trailer or how to drive with it. This makes it ideal for first-time buyers, especially those who have zero towing experience.
Styles, Sizes, and Options
Another draw of travel trailers is the sheer number of them. These rigs come in all shapes, sizes, and styles. This won’t limit you as far as what you can buy, but you may be wondering how to narrow down the field. Start by thinking about how many campers you’ll regularly need to accommodate. If it’s just you and one other person, then you probably won’t need one of the bigger models. The more people who join you on a regular basis, the more sleeping arrangements you’ll need and the bigger your trailer will end up being.
Also, consider how long you’ll be traveling at any given time. If you only intend to make weekend trips, then all the bells and whistles may not be necessary. However, if you go camping for weeks at a time, then the bells and whistles will probably make your experience more relaxing and enjoyable. You may also want a bigger model so you don’t spend weeks in such a cramped space.
Speaking of bells and whistles, you won’t want to ignore the importance of luxury items. Things like dishwashers, televisions, and more spacious living areas may not seem like deal-breakers but your travel camper is all about a better quality camping experience, so if you don’t love your trailer, you might grow to hate camping. Think about what might make your trips just a little better and ask about travel trailer options that can make this happen.
Cost
Another great benefit of having such a wide selection is the varying prices available to you. This does mean you’ll have a number of more expensive options, but you're also more likely to find the right combination of features at a price you can afford. Not to mention, when compared to some of their bigger counterparts, a travel trailer is a steal. Combine that with the airfare, hotel spending, and other vacation expenses you’ll cut down on and you’ll be saving a ton of money both initially and in the long run.
You’ll also save on maintenance costs. With no drivetrain to worry about, most travel trailer maintenance and repairs are relatively simple. There are certain parts of the rig that will still need general maintenance, but not nearly as often or as expensive as some of the other campers.
When you’re finally ready to check out a travel trailer for yourself, stop by Sumner RV and let one of our experienced staff know which rigs you’re most interested in or what you’re looking for. We proudly serve the areas of Seattle, Silverdale, and Port Angeles, Washington.
