The broadest category of RVs is that of the travel trailer. These campers come with a massive range of floor plans, sizes, features to consider. With so many different model options available, the shopping process can easily become overwhelming.

Determine Your Price Range
The most basic travel trailer models cost a few thousand dollars. The biggest and most luxurious options can be over $100,000. Most models fall somewhere in-between those extremes. Whatever your budget is, there will be plenty of models to match.
Think about how much you can realistically spend on a travel trailer. This will eliminate models outside of that price range from your search. That way, you won’t end up overspending or passing on features that you can afford.
Factor In Your Tow Vehicle
Since travel trailers are towable RVs, you will need a tow vehicle to transport the camper to the campground. The bumper pull hitch design on travel trailers results in a wide range of tow vehicle options, including mini vans and SUVs.
Look up the weight restrictions of your intended tow vehicle. Remember that this number includes the weight of all cargo and any passengers in addition to the weight of the RV. Avoid getting too heavy of a travel trailer and being limited on the items that you can pack for your trip.
Think About Your Group Size
How many people does the travel trailer need to accommodate? There needs to be enough beds for everyone – and it doesn’t hurt to have an extra bed or two. If you or your child wants to bring a friend, there will be enough room.
In addition to knowing the number of needed sleeping spaces, it’s also important to consider the type of sleeping spaces. Travel trailers can come with a variety of bed options, from sprawling mattresses to compact bunk beds. There are even convertible furniture options so you can enjoy a couch during the day and a bed at night. Think about what the members of your traveling party will need. Grandma and Grandpa will likely need an extra comfortable mattress while younger kids can be just fine sleeping on a smaller bunk bed.
