What is a Travel Trailer Anyway?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A travel trailer is a towable RV that you can hitch to the back of a vehicle to take with you on road trips, vacations, or even to use as a temporary \u2013 or permanent \u2013 home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early 1900s adventurers called \u201ctin can tourists\u201d created their own travel trailers by building tents or small structures to the backs of their cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel trailers became more popular in the 1930s. Some folks even used their small travel trailers as housing to get through The Great Depression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel trailers have come a long way in the last 100 years. Now you’ll often find bathrooms, full indoor and\/or outdoor kitchens, slide outs for extra room, bunk beds, or even built-in workstations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The innards of a travel trailer have changed and the technology used to build them has improved, but travel trailers are still a budget friendly way to get out and enjoy the world without having to sleep on the cold, hard, lumpy ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Look for in a Travel Trailer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

COUPLE’S CAMPER VS BUNKHOUSE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important questions to ask<\/a> before you buy a travel trailer is “how many people will sleep in it”? Consider these two types of campers depending who you’ll camp with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bunkhouse Campers For Families or Groups<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you’re bringing along a family with 2 or more kids or a group of friends, check out bunkhouse travel trailers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some RVs may have a dinette or sofa that converts into extra sleeping space. A bunkhouse will have even more dedicated beds with one or more sets of bunks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find a bunkhouse RV by looking for letters like “BH (Bunk House),” “DB (Double Bunk),” or “TB (Triple Bunk)” on an RV’s model name<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Couple’s Campers for 2<\/strong> or Small Groups<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The name says it all. A couple’s camper is built for 2. These can also be a good fit for solo travelers or couples with one or two small children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find less dedicated sleeping space in one of these, but a little more space to move around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
