Choosing 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 meant to be towed by a van or truck and designed to give you all of the comforts of home. They contain baths with hot water, refrigerators, two to four burner stoves, ovens and relatively large living spaces. Many come with pop up sky lights and awnings for the outer front area.

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 larger models range in twenty two to twenty four foot in length and will be up to fifteen feet tall. They can sleep twelve people in a cozy style but eight comfortably. You will not find many with width or length extensions because the original sizes are more than adequate and the extra weight would limit the number of vehicles that can tow them more than they are now.

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.

A final choice would be the toy haulers. They are called that because it is exactly what they are designed to do. With less of an eye towards comfort, they use space in the rear for a platform to hold bikes, ATVs or items such as canoes. The living space is much smaller but they still offer many of the amenities of home.

Sales personnel at RV lots can show you many different models of travel trailers for sale. The size and opulence of your choice is up to you. The best way to begin is to research prior to stepping onto the lot. As with any big purchase you need to know what your preferences are and the limits of your budget so that you can feel assured that you are getting exactly what you want.
