Options In Travel Trailers For Sale

By Harriett Crosby


When looking for travel trailers for sale you will find a multitude of choices to make. The first choice will be size and then the style you are interested in. Many prospective buyers do not know if they want a camper, a motor home or a larger trailer that they can actually live in on the road. The differences between the three styles are obvious once seen side by side.

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.

Floor plans for a traveler are many and varied. Each model may come with ten to twelve different lay outs to choose from. They have the look of an apartment when entering and easily convert at bedtime. They are perfect for roaming the country on vacations, tailgating at sports events or even for full time living 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.

Fifth wheelers are also an option. They can be larger and heavier because of the way they are hooked with a special hitch to the middle of the bed of a pickup truck. They can actually afford you extra room because the goose neck design allows for more sleeping room over the bed of your truck. The interiors are just as spacious and durable as seen in other traveling homes featuring lots of wood surfaces and comfortable seating.

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.

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.
