Looking For 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 largest of these will be around twenty four feet in length and fifteen feet tall. You will not find many with any kind of slide out extensions. The extra weight and bulk would serve to damage the overall package you are purchasing. The available models will sleep at least eight and will handle twelve if necessary.

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.

Toy haulers are the final option available in this size range. They are designed to carry all the toys you may want to use while away from home. There is a platform on the back of them to accommodate bikes, ATVs or any other large items you may need to transport with you. The room for the platform is taken from the living space of the vehicle. This tends to make the toy hauler have less of the amenities available in other models.

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.
