Ultra-Light Travel Trailers For Sale near Seattle, WA

Benefits Of A Small Travel Trailer

When you want to improve upon tent camping, but aren’t ready for the commitment of a typical large recreational vehicle, you might want to look into small travel trailers. Some of the lightweight campers available for sale are so compact that they don’t take up much room or increase your gas mileage too much, and they’re often much less expensive than a typical travel trailer. At Sumner RV, we know how important budgetary concerns are to our customers, which is why we wanted to outline some of the benefits of small campers.

Ease Of Towing

Small campers, owing to their lighter weight and compact, aerodynamic stylings, are much easier to tow than traditional travel trailers. In fact, many ultra-light travel trailers are specifically designed not to exceed the gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of an SUV or other larger passenger vehicles, meaning that you don’t necessarily need to invest in a half-ton truck in order to tow a great camper with all the amenities you want.

Environmentally Friendly

Ultra-light trailers generally weigh less than 3000 lbs, which is great for your gas mileage as it isn’t nearly as taxing to tow as a larger rig would be. Your towing vehicle can also be smaller, necessitating less fuel usage in itself. Any nature enthusiast will be thrilled to know that their lightweight trailer has a smaller footprint, making less of an impact on the environment.

Another way that ultra-lightweight travel trailers are more environmentally friendly is their smaller size which requires less material to construct. The materials used are often designed to be as compact and light as possible, which includes eco-friendly choices such as recyclable aluminum and composites made from recycled materials.

The Budget-Conscious Choice

Lightweight campers are an excellent choice for families looking to conserve money wherever possible, as they are often thousands of dollars cheaper than large travel trailers. The fuel savings add up quickly, too, meaning you can allocate some of your funds towards more recreational things instead of gasoline. If you’re not sure that the travel trailer lifestyle is for you, then a small camper is a great way to dip your toe in the water without making a massive commitment, as these campers are easily stowed for infrequent use.

Now that you know a little more about the great ultra-light travel trailers available that are towable even with passenger vehicles, you might be ready to check out some mini campers in person.
