How much does RV transport cost?

When considering the cost of RV transport, it’s important to understand that there is no set cost. Every transport request is unique, with its own set of requirements, meaning that no two transports are ever exactly the same. Here are some general factors that are taken into account when determining the cost of RV transport:

Factor 1: Distance Where are we picking up and delivering your RV or trailer? The distance of the shipment is one of the most significant factors that will determine the cost. Longer distances will typically cost more than shorter ones.

Factor 2: Type of RV or Trailer What’s the year make and model of your RV or trailer? Larger, heavier units, such as Class A motorhomes, will cost more to transport than smaller Pop Up campers.

Factor 3: Shipping Method Do you prefer tow-away, hauling or driveaway service? Although most of the RVs and trailers we move are via our towing service, we also offer hauling service for units that cannot be towed on their own and driveaway service for motorhomes.

Factor 4: Seasonality When is your RV or trailer ready for transport? The time of year can also affect the cost of shipping. Shipping demand during summer months is typically higher which can drive up prices. Alternatively, in the off-season, less demand can lead to lower prices.

How to prepare your RV for shipping

We ask that you carefully prepare your RV or travel trailer. Following these simple steps will help make sure that there are no safety incidents or delays during transport.

Check your trailer lights

Check your trailer lights to ensure they are working properly. ( brake, turn, clearance, license plate etc.) Trailer Wheels & Axles: Inspect the wheels and axles on your trailer for proper lubrication. It is recommended that bearings, bearing seals and bearing cups on a trailer be greased every 12 months or 12,000 miles.

Check your trailer’s weight rating

Do NOT overload your RV trailer. Check the gross trailer weight rating (GTWR) of your trailer to prevent overloading. Overloading your RV trailer can lead to tire blowouts, resulting in damage to the trailer.

Secure personal items

Any personal items inside your trailer or RV must be properly secured. Make sure cabinet doors are closed, locked if possible, and any items that are not mounted, be removed or placed in a secure area in the trailer.

Disconnect power supply

Disable your trailer’s power supply to prevent any accidental activation of electrical components or battery drainage. Unplugging appliances and disconnecting the battery are two ways to effectively shut down the power supply.

Remove hazardous materials

Gas tanks, propane tanks, ammunition or any possible dangerous materials should be removed from the trailer. Our carriers can be fined if such items are found in the trailer while in transport.

Understanding trailer transport differences.

It’s important to understand the differences in recreation vehicles, travel trailers and campers, especially when it comes time to transporting. Although these terms — among others — are often used interchangeably, there are some notable differences.

RV Transport

Recreational vehicles are typically some sort of motor-home. They are equipped with a few of the amenities of home and can be motorized or non-motorized. RV movers will generally haul, tow or drive-away the recreational vehicle to its destination. 

• RV Towing: Most often, a dually pickup truck with a matching hitch will hook up and tow the RV.  
• RV Hauling: Recreational vehicle is loaded on to a wedge or flatbed trailer for transport. There is no towing involved. 

Trailer Transport

Trailers are basically an unpowered vehicle towed by another. Trailers are used for a combination of things, but generally the function of a trailer is to haul something. The important thing to know about a trailer is that they are not motorized.

• Trailer Towing: Most often, a dually pickup truck with a matching Bumper Pull or Fifth-Wheel hitch will hook up and tow the trailer.  
• Trailer Hauling: Trailer is loaded on to another wedge or flatbed trailer for transport. There is no hooking and towing involved. 

Camper Transport

Camper is another term for travel trailers. Campers come in a variety of trailers such as popups, truck campers, teardrops and others. 

• Camper Towing: Most often, our camper movers will have a dually pickup truck that will hook up and tow the camper. 
• Camper Hauling: Camper is loaded on to a wedge or flatbed type trailer for transport.

Motorhome Transport

A “motorhome” is another term for recreational vehicles (RVs). Motorhomes can vary in size and style, including Class A, Class B, and Class C motorhomes.

• Motorhome Hauling: Motorhomes that are too big, heavy, or non-operational, are moved using our flatbed hauling service.

Hitch Up the Easy Way With Our Travel Trailer Towing Guide

Some 56 million Americans are expected to hit the highways, byways, and backroads this summer with a recreational vehicle, according to the latest RV Industry Association (RVIA) surveys. Another 10 million RVers will join them in 2022. About 1-in-5 of those hitting the road will be hitching up and towing a travel trailer—everything from teardrops to tent trailers and travel trailers to toy haulers as individuals, families, and friends head out to enjoy all the freedom and adventure our great country offers.

For more than 110 years, automobile owners have been towing recreational vehicles so they can explore America. Towing a travel trailer is part of adventure-seekers’ DNA, and we’ve been doing it as long as automobiles have been around.

The urge to explore at one’s own pace with a travel trailer in tow was hugely popular in the 1950s and ‘60s . Today, that popularity in RVing is once again thriving as Americans look for ways to travel the nation comfortably and safely.

The safest way to travel

“More and more Americans are ready to travel this summer, and 56 million of them are planning to go RVing in an RV they rent, own, or borrow,” said Craig Kirby, President and CEO of RVIA . “Even with other forms of travel returning, the desire to use an RV to get outdoors and experience an active outdoor lifestyle is stronger than ever. RVing has been cemented as a mainstream travel option that is here to stay.”

The appeal of exploring the country while towing a travel trailer appeals to all age groups and interests, too. The popularity of RVing has even attracted media attention from the Wall Street Journal , which ran “ The Safest Way To Travel This Summer ” in a May 2020 issue.

This surge in the popularity of RVing comes to light when you try to book reservations for an RV campground space at county, state, and national parks . You can also see it on the road; the number of cars, pickups, vans, SUVs , and crossovers towing travel trailers has never been greater.

Americans hitting the road to vacation with an RV trailer in tow is at an all-time high. Make sure your travel trailer is the proper Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and doesn’t exceed the maximum tow rating of the vehicle towing it.

 Safety concerns towing a travel trailer

From Gen Z to Boomers, RVing via a travel trailer of any type offers freedom and a sense of self-sufficiency. It’s both a practical and comfortable form of lodging. You can disconnect your tow vehicle and have a base camp to explore the area around you.

But towing a travel trailer can bring some unexpected drama and safety concerns for millions of first-time RVers. Trailers add weight to the back of the tow vehicle, and that added weight changes the handling dynamics and braking of the tow vehicle. That’s why you need to make sure your trailer and tow vehicle are properly matched.

This guide explains the basics of towing a travel trailer so your RVing experience is easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

The basics of towing a travel trailer

Towing a travel trailer consists of three components: the vehicle, the hitch, and the RV.

Within those components are variations based on the vehicle’s towing capacity, the weight of the RV , the hitch setup, and towing-related accessories to tie everything together safely.

In this towing guide, we are specifically talking about “tow-behind” or “bumper-pull” RV trailers that attach to the hitch ball on a hitch mounted under the bumper of a pickup, SUV, crossover SUV, or car, not a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch that mounts in the bed of a pickup truck.

You can easily avoid drama and stress by properly matching the tow vehicle, hitch, and travel trailer. But get one of those wrong, and you have a recipe for disaster.

The best vehicle for towing any trailer is the one that fits both your personal needs and requirements while the trailer falls within the limitations set by the vehicle’s manufacturer.

What is the best vehicle for towing a travel trailer?

So, let’s begin with the tow vehicle. One question I get a lot from first-time RVers is, “What’s the best vehicle for towing a travel trailer?” The answer is, “It all depends.”

It all depends on what type of trailer you want to tow, whether you intend to tow with a vehicle you currently own, or maybe you have neither a tow vehicle nor a travel trailer and want to get both.

The most important aspect of towing a travel trailer is making sure the vehicle is up to the task of towing the trailer you plan on attaching to the hitch ball.

Here’s the deal when it comes to tow vehicles: The vehicle manufacturer determines how big (heavy) a trailer the vehicle can safely tow—not you. From a legal standpoint, that’s it, but I’ll explain more later in this RV trailer towing guide.

RV trailer numbers you need to know

There are two important weight-related factors when it comes to RV trailers: GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and tongue weight (TW).

GVWR is the safe maximum weight of the trailer when it’s loaded for camping with water, fuel, supplies, and cargo. The TW is how much downforce the loaded trailer places on the hitch.

Both numbers are displayed on the metal Federal Certification / VIN ID tag located on the front left side of a travel trailer. You can also find the specifications listed on the trailer manufacturer’s website.

Every RV trailer has an ID/VIN decal or metal tag somewhere on the left front. It shows the trailer’s GVWR, which is the maximum it can weigh fully loaded. This is a critical number to know when matching a tow vehicle to a trailer. The trailer’s GVWR should never exceed the tow vehicle’s maximum tow rating.

Concentrate on those two weights, not the RV’s bells and whistles or nice furnishings. Those two numbers set the basis for choosing the vehicle best suited for towing a travel trailer.

Tongue weight of RV trailers, sometimes referred to as “hitch weight,” will be typically between 10- and 15-percent of the trailer’s GVWR.

For example, a 32-foot trailer like the Forest River Aurora 28BHS , weighing 7,600 pounds GVWR, has a TW of 730 pounds, while the 32-foot Grand Design Imagine 2800BH has a GVWR of 7,995 pounds and a hitch weight of only 604 pounds.

So, do your research. RV trailer weights can vary widely by brand, type, and size. That’s why it’s important to narrow down these numbers to the specific trailer you plan to tow and then make sure those weights match your vehicle’s towing limitations.

Payload calculator

A website called Keep Your Daydream Today does a great job of explaining all the weight-related towing nuances, and the site has a nice payload calculator that can be downloaded to figure out what you can safely tow per the vehicle manufacturer’s listed tow ratings.

How big of an RV trailer can my vehicle tow?

Now that you know the trailer’s GVWR and TW, it’s time to focus on the tow vehicle. Towing a travel trailer from your home to a campground begins with dropping the trailer tongue on a hitch ball. But the most critical aspect of safely getting from Point A to Point B is having the right vehicle for towing.

Your tow vehicle needs to have the power to pull the trailer up hills and maintain reasonable speeds over the open road. More importantly, the tow vehicle has to be properly equipped for towing, per the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines, and have the factory tow rating capacity to handle the load it’s towing.

Having the right tow vehicle for the trailer takes all the drama out of the RVing experience and maximizes the safety factor for others on the road.

The only one who can set the limit on how much weight any vehicle can tow is the vehicle manufacturer.

To find your tow vehicle’s maximum trailer towing capacity, and what it needs to be properly equipped per the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications, dive into the towing/trailering section of the owner’s manual. There you’ll find the bare-bones information.

RV tow rating information

But what you really want is the detailed tow rating information. For that, you’ll have to dig deeper. The information is usually on the vehicle manufacturer’s fleet/commercial website under a heading like “RV & Trailer Towing Guide.”

When matching a trailer to a tow vehicle, a good rule-of-thumb is to keep the trailer’s GVWR at less than 75 percent of the tow vehicle’s trailer towing capacity.

So, if the tow vehicle is rated for a maximum of 6,000 pounds, the chosen trailer should have a GVWR of 4,500 pounds or less. Likewise, if the tow vehicle is rated to tow 10,000 pounds, a good trailer weight is 7,500 pounds or less.

You can find detailed trailer towing information on the vehicle manufacturer’s fleet/commercial website under a heading like “RV and Trailer Towing Guide,” “Towing Guides,” or “Trailering Guide.”

Where to find pickup truck manufacturer trailer towing ratings

To make tracking down trailer tow ratings of the Big Three pickup manufacturers easy, here are those website links:

• Chevrolet: www.gmfleet.com/Guides
• Ford: www.fleet.ford.com/towing-guides
• GMC: www.gmfleet.com/GMC Trailering Guide
• Ram Truck: www.fcausfleet.com/ramtrucks/towing-guide

It’s easy to find the trailer towing limits for cars, SUVs, and crossover SUVs. Pickups are a whole different story.

Pickup truck ratings for towing a travel trailer vary by year, make, model, cab configuration, transmission, and axle ratio. They can also vary related to the type of hitch setup, whether “conventional weight-carrying” (towing-on-the-ball) or using a weight-distributing hitch system. So read the numbers and annotated information carefully.

Vehicle’s trailer tow ratings can’t be changed

As you review trailer tow ratings, you’ll see that just because a vehicle has a hitch doesn’t mean it can tow whatever is attached to the hitch ball. Every vehicle that rolls off the assembly line has a towing limitation, just as it has a unique VIN.

Once a vehicle leaves the manufacturing assembly line, its tow ratings and cargo-carrying capacities are set in stone—just like the VIN. Those ratings could have higher/lower capacities, depending on the engine and transmission package, axle ratio, and other options available on that particular model vehicle. This is especially true of pickup trucks.

Even though installing aftermarket products like air bags and anti-sway bars can improve the ride and handling when towing a travel trailer, such modifications do not change that particular tow vehicle’s limitations as set by its manufacturer.

Installing overload springs, anti-sway bars, air helper springs, a heavier-duty hitch, or making other vehicle suspension, drivetrain, or engine modifications does NOT change the vehicle’s tow rating or load capacity. Those ratings are set by the vehicle manufacturer when the vehicle is built.

Why are vehicle manufacturer trailer towing ratings important?

Why is it important to know the trailer towing limits of your vehicle? Safety. Warranty. Liability.

Vehicle manufacturers set vehicle tow ratings and load capacities with safety, warranty, and liability at the forefront. They do so using special test procedures specified under SAE J2807 , which is a strict vehicle manufacturing safety standard focused on keeping the driver and occupants reasonably safe when towing trailers.

At the same time, SAE J2807 testing protocols allow the vehicle manufacturer to set a comfortable weight limit for the vehicle to function reliably through the warranty period when used for such towing and cargo-carrying tasks.

Among the battery of tests within SAE J2807 are emergency accident-avoidance and vehicle control tests with a loaded trailer in tow. If the vehicle being tested doesn’t pass these tests in a manner deemed safe by the vehicle engineering team, then the trailered weight is reduced and the vehicle re-tested until it meets the safety standards. When it meets the safe standard, that’s the maximum trailer towing capacity for that particular vehicle.

Towing a travel trailer that’s heavier than the vehicle is rated for towing, or not having the tow vehicle properly equipped, can put the burden of liability on you if you’re in an accident. Your insurance company could very well deny coverage because under the law, you, the driver, are considered negligent .

Trailer tow ratings can be confusing. But they are very important from a safety and vehicle handling standpoint.

Real-world lessons in trailer weight ratings

A neighbor recently joined the millions of Americans towing a travel trailer on his family’s first RV adventure. He hitched a beautiful Forest River 2021 rPod 190 travel trailer to the hitch of his 2017 Lexus RX 350 AWD. His first weekend on the road towing the trailer “scared him to death” because of trailer sway. He couldn’t understand why his Lexus handled so poorly when it was “rated” to tow 3,500 pounds—according to the trailer salesperson—and the trailer only weighed 2,900 pounds.

We looked at the numbers. He had two issues. First, the “dry weight” of the rPod was 2,900 pounds, but the GVWR was 3,800 pounds. Second, his Lexus was rated to tow 3,500 pounds only if equipped with “a sway control device with sufficient capacity” per the owner’s manual. Otherwise, the trailer towing capacity was limited to 2,000 pounds.

So, he installed a Blue Ox SwayPro 350 weight distribution hitch and made sure the trailer’s GVWR didn’t exceed 3,500 pounds.

He and his wife have spent anywhere from 3 to 5 days traveling around the Pacific Northwest at least twice a month, loving the RV life! For now, the Lexus and rPod are a happy match for their lifestyle.

Even though a salesperson says the vehicle you are buying is “perfectly capable” of towing such-and-such trailer, have the trailer’s GVWR number memorized, and then have the salesperson show you the maximum towing specs for the specific vehicle. In pickups, the difference in axle ratios alone can make a 2,000-pound or greater difference in a tow rating. In smaller vehicles, the same can be true for different engines.

Don’t rely on salespeople for accurate towing info

Another friend bought a 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie 4×4 Quad Cab and an equally nice 26-foot Backcountry Mountain TRX trailer so the family of four could enjoy the outdoor lifestyle during summer and fall. The salesperson at the Ram dealer said the Hemi-powered 4×4 could tow as much as 12,750 pounds, so no problem towing the 9,995-pound Outdoors RV camper.

But what he found out later when looking up the maximum trailer tow ratings in the Ram towing guide was that his particular pickup, with the standard 3.21 axle ratio, was limited to just 8,330 pounds. Fortunately, he persuaded the dealer to swap his new pickup for an identical one that was equipped with the “premium” 3.92 axle ratio, which was rated to tow 11,430 pounds—a much better match to the trailer and much safer for his family.

To that end, you must go back to the basics of weight when it comes to how much your vehicle can tow. You need to know the GVWR of the trailer and the maximum trailer capacity of your specific tow vehicle.

If the trailer’s GVWR is more than the trailer tow rating of your tow vehicle, find a lighter trailer  or a tow vehicle with a higher trailer towing capacity.

A good rule-of-thumb in choosing a trailer is its GVWR be no more than two-thirds the max trailer tow rating of the vehicle. This gives you a margin of error on the safe side. Your tow vehicle must also be properly equipped as specified by its manufacturer.

What is the best 4X4 for off-grid RVing?

So what’s the best 4×4 vehicle for towing trailers when camping off the grid and exploring roads less traveled? Most people think the obvious answer is one of the many Jeep models, such as the iconic Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon or Grand Cherokee. They’re partially correct.

Jeep Models

Setting fuel economy and price aside, the Jeep Rubicon 392 is king, setting the highest bar among the Jeep line when it comes to overall backcountry and off-road performance. Its V8 power, technology, and agility are amazing.

Jeeps are the icon for off-pavement/off-road travel. But the soft, pliant suspension takes away some of their towing ability, limiting most models to towing trailers less than 3,500 pounds. Off-road trailer manufacturers such as Vorsheer, which makes the 2,600-pound (GVWR) XOC, build their trailers to accommodate these tow ratings. Photo courtesy Vorsheer Mfg

But the Jeep Wrangler’s soft, pliant suspension, across all models, is also its downfall when it comes to tow ratings. They are among the lowest in this class of SUV, with a maximum towing capacity of just 3,500 pounds for the 6.4L V8-powered Rubicon 392 to as little as 2,000 pounds for the base model two-door Wrangler Sport with the 3.6L V6.

Jeep’s Grand Cherokee is an excellent tow vehicle for those who do a lot of highway RVing and backcountry travel with “light off-roading.” Some models can tow up to 7,650 pounds.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee has higher tow ratings ranging from 4,000 to 7,200 pounds (Hemi V8-powered SRT). But the Jeep Gladiator pickup is the best choice with a trailer towing capacity of up to 7,650 pounds, depending, of course, on the model and axle ratio.

Ford Bronco

A new contender when it comes to the best 4×4 for RVing off-grid is the latest iteration of the iconic Ford Bronco . Ford’s new SUV leads the pack for four-wheeling in overall performance, with excellent fuel economy, suspension travel, and traction capabilities.

Broncos equipped with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and 10-speed automatic combo are ideal for towing. The trade-off for the Ford Bronco’s off-road prowess is a limited trailering capacity of up to 3,500 pounds when equipped with the optional Class II Trailer Tow Package.

If money isn’t an option and you want the very best 4×4 for off-grid travel and towing RV trailers, the 702hp Ram 1500 TRX , with a tow rating of 8,100 pounds, wins. Hands-down. It’s won both Four Wheeler and MotorTrend magazine’s Truck of the Year and several other prestigious automotive pickup awards this year.

Hitch types and hitch capacities

The term “properly equipped” means the vehicle has the factory towing package, which can vary from vehicle to vehicle and from manufacturer to manufacturer. But it always includes a factory-installed receiver hitch and wiring to connect between the tow vehicle and the trailer.

Properly equipped also means using the proper hitch type for the weight of the trailer. There are two hitch types for towing a trailer using a receiver-type hitch: weight carrying and weight distributing.

Attaching the trailer to the hitch ball bolted on the shank that comes out of the hitch is called “weight carrying” because the full load of the trailer’s tongue weight is carried by the hitch assembly.

This is a typical “weight-carrying” hitch setup that comes from the factory. It accommodates a “shank” with a trailer ball mount. The load capacity of a hitch can be found on the hitch manual’s decal—the same with the shank. The hitch ball capacity is imprinted on the top of the ball.

The towing capacity of the hitch is determined by the hitch manufacturer, and the maximum load/towing capacities are listed on the hitch, the hitch shank, and on top of the hitch ball. Hitches come in five classifications depending on the size of the opening for the receiver (shank) and load capacity.

The typical factory hitch on cars, crossovers, smaller SUVs is Class I or II.

Midsize pickups, SUVs, and vans generally come with a Class III hitch.

Full-size pickups usually have a Class IV hitch, while some 1-ton diesels use a Class V hitch.

Hitch classes and Gross Trailer Weight

NOTE: Changing the size of the hitch to one with a higher capacity DOES NOT change your vehicle’s tow rating.

Understanding hitch balls and capacity

The most important connection point between the tow vehicle and the trailer is the shiny round thing sticking up from under the bumper—the hitch ball. You’ll have a big problem if the ball isn’t the correct size to fit the trailer coupler, or the ball isn’t installed on the shank (mount) with the correct amount of torque on the nut.

Standard RV trailer hitch balls come in three different diameters: 1-7/8″, 2”, and 2-5/16″, while shank sizes varying from ¾” to 3″ depending on the hitch capacity. The smaller 1-7/8″ hitch balls have a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds and are typically found on cars, smaller SUVs, minivans, and crossovers.

Hitches equipped with 2″ tow balls are rated for 8,000 pounds and are typical of that used on smaller travel trailers and overlanding/adventure-style off-road trailers. The larger 2-5/16″ hitch balls are rated from 12,500 pounds to 21,000 pounds and are common on RV trailers that weigh more than 8,000 pounds.

A typical weight-distribution (WD) hitch has two “spring bars” that extend from the hitch head to the trailer. The bars act like wheelbarrow handles, so some of the weight of the trailer on the hitch can be shifted fore and aft to better balance the tow vehicle/trailer combo. A WD hitch also greatly reduces trailer sway.

How do weight distribution hitches work?

A weight distributing hitch , or weight distribution hitch, uses a special head with provisions for attaching one or two long arms that attach to the trailer frame that can be adjusted to transfer some of that tongue weight fore and aft so the tow vehicle is better balanced.

The typical WD hitch also incorporates an anti-sway device or design for better trailer control.

“The weight distribution feature will transfer some of the weight to the front axle, as well as some being transferred back to the trailer’s axle(s)” explains Josh Jones, a customer service rep at Progress Manufacturing , makers of the Equl-i-zer Hitch and Fastway trailer towing components. “Basically, 1/3 of the tongue weight is transferred from your tow vehicle back to the trailer, and the remaining 2/3 is evenly distributed on the front and rear axles of your truck. This gives all four tires equal contact with the road, improving steering and braking, and the hitch’s built-in sway control eliminates sway before it starts so you have a smoother, more enjoyable towing experience.”

Both weight-distributing (top) and standard hitches have maximum trailer towing ratings. Using a reducer sleeve (bottom) to step down from 2.5” or 3” hitch receivers to 2” also reduces trailer towing capacity.

That’s why the “weigh-carrying” tow capacities of a vehicle, especially full-size pickups, vans, and SUVs, are usually considerably less than a “weight-distributing” setup because more weight is put on the rear axle when one is just towing on the ball.

These dual-capacity tow ratings really apply to pre-2018 and older heavy-duty pickups with some max trailer towing limits of 5,000 pounds towing-on-the ball unless a weight-distributing hitch is used. Also, using the 2″ adapter sleeve in newer pickups’ 2.5″ receiver hitches significantly reduces both the weight-carrying tow limit and maximum tongue weight.

The Best 2022 Pickups For Towing Trailers With GVWR Under 5,000 Pounds

Brake requirements for rv travel trailers.

Attaching a trailer to your tow vehicle places an additional load on its braking system. That means the heavier the trailer, the less responsive the brakes and the longer it takes to stop the vehicle. That’s why most state motor vehicle laws require trailers over a certain gross weight must have their own trailer braking system .

Some state trailer laws require a braking system on trailers with a GVW of 1,500, some 3,000 pounds, and some 6,000 pounds GVW. Other states require the tow vehicle/trailer combo must stop within a certain distance from a designated speed, or the tow vehicle be able to hold the trailer while stopped on a “hill of any grade under all conditions.”

Thankfully the RV trailer manufacturers make the braking aspect of towing a travel trailer easy by equipping their trailers, even the lighter off-road/overlanding camp trailers, with electric brakes on trailers that weigh more than 1,500 pounds. This way, the trailer can be sold in any state and meet the legal brake requirements.

As for trailer brakes, the typical RV trailer has electric-actuated brakes along with a “breakaway” system in the event the trailer decides to go for a little side trip on its own. (Breakaway systems are required on trailers with a GVW greater than 3,000 pounds.)

Aftermarket electric brake controllers send electronic signals to the trailer brakes when the driver hits the tow vehicle’s brake pedal. There are lots of types of controllers, and most allow the driver to manually apply the trailer brakes via a dash-mounted controller if needed. Photo courtesy eTrailer.com

 How do RV trailer brakes work?

Electric-actuated RV trailer brakes on bumper-pull can be either drum or disc, much like those that stop your tow vehicle. The braking is applied when an electrical signal is transmitted from the brake pedal to a separate device in the vehicle called a brake controller , which then signals and activates the trailer’s brakes.

In an electric drum brake system, the braking signal goes to an electromagnetic actuator inside the brake drum that pushes the brake linings into the drum. On an electric-over-hydraulic disc braking system, the signal from the controller activates a hydraulic pump that pushes fluid in the brake lines to the calipers that engage the brake rotor.

Some of the newest pickups and SUVs have built-in brake controllers, while older pickups and most cars, crossovers, and SUVs will need an aftermarket brake controller unit installed. Either way, it’ll be up to you to make the proper brake controller adjustments per that particular brake controller’s instructions.

Both braking systems require the proper trailer plug, the correct trailer wiring setup in the tow vehicle, and a charged battery in the trailer to operate safely. Part of most vehicle manufacturers’ “Towing Package” includes such wiring and plug for the trailer wiring harness.

Typical travel trailer weights

When you shop for RV travel trailers, you’ll see a wide range in gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWR), even in the tiny trailers and off-road trailers. For instance, the typical teardrop trailer comes in between 1,500 and 2,500 pounds, with the more robust overlanding off-road trailers coming in with a GVWR between 2,500 to 4,500 pounds. Pop-up tent and hard-sided campers generally have GVWRs between 2,000–4,000 pounds.

RV trailers are available to fit just about any lifestyle. They also vary in weight, so it’s easy to find the perfect travel trailer to fit your tow vehicle. Some adventuresome RVers—of an estimated 10 million taking vacations with a trailer in tow—will be doing so on roads less traveled. Photo courtesy Boreas Campers

More traditional bumper-pull RV trailers have an average GVWR range related to their length, design (camper or toy hauler), and number of slideouts. Midsize RV trailers in the 23- to 28-foot range have a maximum loaded weight between 6,000 and 8,000 pounds.

Start shopping around for the 30-foot-plus bumper-pull trailers and the GVWRs can top 10,000 pounds, which is nearing the upper limit for most full-size pickups and SUVs towing with a weight-distributing hitch.

Popular trailers for towing and average weights

While there are hundreds of travel trailer brand and specification combinations we could list, we’ll focus on some well-known RVs to give you a sense of what to look for when shopping for a trailer to tow:

Where do electric pickups fit in with towing RV trailers?

Electric vehicles, aka EVs, are slowly making their way into the automotive market but still only make up less than 2 percent of the new car market in the U.S., according to Pew Research and other market watchers.

EVs, whether car, SUV, crossover, or pickup, are excellent modes of transportation for city and urban settings. Not so much so in rural America, where the availability of designated plug-in sites is few and far between. EV vehicles also cost a lot more than their gas and diesel counterparts. If the current federal tax incentives or EV tax credits are phased out, that price disparity will be even greater.

Then there’s the cost of EV ownership over the life of the vehicle to consider, along with trade-in value. After all, all batteries wear out, and the packs in EVs are no different.

What will it cost to replace an EV’s battery pack in 100,000 miles or 10 years? It’s not going to be cheap. A Greencars.com article claims that cost could be as high as $15,000, not including labor.

All-electric (EV) pickups are emerging from different vehicle manufacturers as battery technology advances. One of the great things about EV pickups and SUVs is the engine compartment becomes a big trunk! Photo courtesy Ford

RV trailer towing range for EV pickups

Trailer towing brings up another matter: driving range. EV pickup’s capability in distance between charges is cut by 1/3 to ½ when towing a travel trailer. So instead of being able to drive 250–300 miles unloaded, you’ll need to look for a place to plug in every 3 to 4 hours. That’s not convenient and not what most RVers want in a tow vehicle.

Ford’s 2022 F-150 Lightning , with a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, sports EPA range numbers of 230 miles for the “standard” battery pack and 300 miles with the optional “extended range” pack. The trailering range is probably going to be around 150–200 miles depending on the battery pack.

The F-150 EV battery packs require 10 to 13 hours to fully recharge with the Ford Charge Station Pro , which plugs into either 120V or 240V outlets. We’ll probably see EV charges common as their evolution continues.

Sure, the EV F-150 can be turned into a backup power station, but that power comes from the battery pack, good for off-grid camping but shortening the driving range even more. So, if you’re keen on going green by towing your travel trailer with an EV, keep the driving range in mind.

EV pickups are hitting the road, and RVers are taking note. The 2022 Ford Lightning EV has a trailer towing capacity of 10,000 pounds and a range estimated at 150–200 miles between charges when towing, depending on the battery pack option. Photo courtesy Ford

R&D HITS THE ROAD

We are living the RV lifestyle alongside you by hitting the road in one of the Model Z prototypes long before production starts. These real-world adventures help us refine our RVs based on our own camping experiences while gathering direct feedback from other campers!

The first prototype of the Model Z, the 3100, took its maiden voyage across the country on a 30-day road trip by, owner and lead product designer, Micah Staley. With his family in tow, he sought out customer feedback by stopping at campgrounds across the country. Micah returned home with over 250 refinements to perfect Model Z’s design, functionality, and durability, and that was just the first of four Model Z prototypes.

We can’t wait to show you the result! 

101+ EXCLUSIVE FEATURES

Gone are the swirly RV exteriors from 20 years ago. Inspired by luxury sports cars, Brinkley’s sleek modern signature styling is further enhanced by our industry-first frameless square Euro windows.

IN THEIR WORDS

What our customers are saying.

The enthusiasm and excitement they all share in the Brinkley company itself validated that we made the right choice. We feel certain that the people representing Brinkley are a reflection of the owners which represents a quality company!

Read The Complete Testimonial (Facebook)

Just ordered the Brinkley 3100 Model Z. Couldn’t be more pleased with the coach design, finishes, and craftsmanship. The company is proud of the product and stands behind it should there be any concerns.

Facebook Review

Spectacular unit/manufacturer, really raising the bar for others in the industry. Super excited to see what this brand does!

Google Review

We don’t want to feel like we’re in a camper, and this (Model Z 3100) feels very residential, and that’s why I’m loving the Brinkley.

Watch our Video

I recently stopped by their facility. And I saw their new unit. It looks great, they’re hitting the details people are looking for.

Excellent design, build and customer commitment. Everything a luxury mid-profile coach should be. Many upgrades and special touches to make any trip more comfortable and relaxing.

Every single experience with Brinkley has been phenomenal. The Z3100 is built with quality and durability from the floors to the cabinets and all the way to the roof. No small detail has been left out, and we love that the owners listen to the customer’s ideas. But – the best part is the people who are Brinkley.

We discovered the Brinkley Z3100 at the Montreal RV show. It was an instant crush due to the quantity of materials used and the incomparable finish of the Brinkley. This is by far the best value for money in the industry. We are delighted with our acquisition.

I have worked on many RV’s and none have been as well built and well organized as the Brinkley Model Z. The electrical system is set up to be easy to customize for the individual owner’s needs. Access to wiring and wire routing is straightforward and neat. Well Done, Brinkley.

This rig (Model Z 3100) is sleek and sophisticated looking with exceptional craftsmanship, and it was a happy surprise that it was even better in person. I can’t say enough about the people at Brinkley, they’re fantastic on every level. It’s incredible to have the opportunity to meet the owners of a fantastic new company and all the people making it happen.

If you haven’t heard of a Brinkley – I am certain you will very soon because they are getting ready to knock the socks off of every other RV company there is.

We’ve toured hundreds of RVs through the years, and this was the first that literally took our breath away. We can’t wait to take delivery and then get it out on the road!

This new company and rig (Z3100) exceeded our expectations and then some… so we decided to buy it from Walnut Ridge in Indiana. The videos (Josh and others) were great, but experiencing it in person was simply amazing.

I don’t know other executives at companies that RV… It shows in the quality and all the little things that we see, including the fit and finish on everything…

RV experience and reputation, along with youthful enthusiasm, have all come together to form Brinkley RV. We are recreating the manufacturing/workforce discipline, the supplier/team relationship, and the selling/support experience. We are relentlessly dedicated to our customers’ satisfaction.

WHY BRINKLEY?

Built on trust.

We are focused on the relentless pursuit of the ultimate customer experience. Our ownership team is comprised of some of the most experienced RV veterans; many of which have spent the past 20 years building the most successful brands and companies within the industry. With five equal partners, we have the unique ability to have an owner touching every part of our business, every day.

We hope you will put your full trust in us and join us on this journey as we recreate and revolutionize your camping experience!

INDUSTRY-LEADING DESIGN

Due to the industry’s noticeable shift in focus away from customer experience and product design, Brinkley RV owners saw a unique opportunity to recreate the RV experience for dealers and customers. We pay exceptional attention to detail, and our mission is to provide you with products and support that help create the memories you can cherish for a lifetime.

Every Brinkley RV is designed by an industry-leading expert who loses sleep over making your experience memorable.

Our promise to you is two-fold:

• We listen to your feedback when developing floorplans; we implement new features and cutting-edge technologies to meet your needs.
• We also pledge to live the lifestyle right alongside you and tweak the product based off our own camping experiences.

FOCUSED ON CUSTOMER CARE

As a privately held company, we have the competitive advantage to avoid “publicly held” distractions so we can focus on the details. This allows us to stay closely connected to our customers, our employees, and our products.

We embody an exceptional customer experience; it is ingrained in the fabric of who we are. We have enhanced quality inspections and audits throughout our production line and a robust pre-delivery inspection (PDI) process. This way we can ensure that your Brinkley RV is built right the first time and with the utmost quality.

But we are human, and sometimes mistakes happen. When challenges present themselves, Brinkley RV’s Customer Care Team will go above and beyond to ensure the necessary repairs are completed as efficiently as possible to get you back on the road.

FINEST DEALER FRIENDS IN NORTH AMERICA

Our dealers are an extension of Brinkley RV, and we believe we have partnered with the absolute best in North America! We pledge to make the dealer experience seamless from purchasing units, managing real-time inventory control, and shipment tracking to serviceability, priority service and enhanced product training.

We want our dealers free to focus on serving their customers and encouraging them to become Brinkley RV owners for life.  

We believe we are on the brink of something BIG!

What are the 10 Best Travel Trailer Brands and Models?

Published on May 23rd, 2022 by Ray & Tammy Roman This post was updated on October 5th, 2023

One of the most frequent questions we get from new and experienced RV enthusiasts alike is: What are the best travel trailer brands to consider buying? This is a crucial consideration because your travel trailer is more than just a vehicle—it’s your home on wheels. Let’s explore some brands that consistently receive high marks for quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

Discovering the Best Travel Trailer Brands in 2023: A Guide for Every RVer

Deciding on “the best brand” of anything is subjective. The answer is as unique as you are. Discovering it largely depends on your specific RV travel needs, budget, family size, and personal preferences. he answer also depends on finding the  best truck for your camper .

Over the years my picks for the best travel trailers tends to remain unchanged. Many new brands are on the market, but they have not been around long enough to properly assess their quality. Each of the best travel trailer brands in our list has developed a unique approach to comfort, efficiency, and style.

Whether you are drawn to the classic charm of an Airstream, the durability of an Oliver, or the tech-forward approach of Jayco, the choice ultimately comes down to your personal preference and budget.

The Gold Standard: How Do You Choose the Best Travel Trailer Brands of 2023?

What distinguishes the elite from the average in the world of travel trailers? After analyzing feedback from RV enthusiasts and combing through industry reviews, we have identified three things to keep in mind as you shop for your ultimate travel trailer brand.

1. Road-Tested Reliability

When it comes to RVs, it’s not a question of if you’ll encounter issues, but when. With that in mind, the reliability of a travel trailer should be your most critical consideration. The most trusted travel trailer brands inspire confidence based on sterling reviews. That feedback isn’t just from RV industry cheerleaders, but from the real experts – everyday RV owners like you and me.

Don’t fall for the shiny objects shown in walk-through YouTube reviews. Instead, dig deeper and seek out firsthand experiences from actual owners. Start with RV communities such as the iRV2 Discussion Forums . This is one of many excellent ways to get unbiased ratings and insights from owners of the brands you are curious about. Start engaging in discussions about the real-world performance and reliability of the camper you’re interested in.

2. Value for Your Money

Price matters, but not always in the way you might think. While we all love a bargain, when it comes to travel trailers that a lower sticker price can often be a sign of mass production that leads to compromised quality. As with any purchase, affordability is important, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of quality. The best travel trailer brands offer the highest value for the price point with above-average durability, thoughtful design, and overall quality.

3. Customer-First Service

The best travel trailers in the world can’t make up for a poor customer service experience. When investing in a travel trailer, you’re not just buying an RV. You are entering into a relationship. The industry’s top-tier travel trailer brands on our list understand this and prioritize customer satisfaction. From the initial contact with the manufacturer to after-sales support from the dealer and any warranty work in the future, they make it a prioirty to keep customers happy. 

Not all travel trailer brands or their affiliated dealers shine in this area. Explore Google reviews about your local RV dealers that carry the brand you are considering. An overwhelming amount of negative customer feedback may be a telltale sign to look elsewhere.

The Top 10 Best Travel Trailer Brands List

Choosing the best RV trailer brands isn’t easy. There are hundreds of trailer brands and thousands of models. I selected these brands and models based on hundreds of RV user reviews. The following list of camper brands is known for their commitment to quality and value. They are also known for providing excellent customer service and timely warranty repairs. Here are the manufacturers that make our cut.

Now let’s review these brands and their best models to consider buying for your next travel trailer purchase. Remember, take your time to research, visit dealerships, attend RV shows, and even rent different models. This will give you a feel for what suits you best. The adventure of RVing begins even before you hit the road. It starts right here with the exciting process of choosing your home on wheels from among the best travel trailer brands in 2023.

#1. Airstream Flying Cloud

When you think luxury camper, Airstream is one of the first travel trailer brands that usually comes to mind. They produce some of the most recognizable RVs in the industry. Airstreams are priced in the high-end range. But ask any Airstream owner and they will tell you that the value you get for your money is well worth the price.

Their iconic models include the Classic, Globetrotter, Tony Bahama, Flying Cloud, and others. Now owned by Thor Industries, Airstream continues to lead the industry with a reliable, iconic, and distinctive design.

Why is the Airstream Flying Cloud one of the best travel trailers?

Few travel trailer brands evoke a sense of nostalgia, quality, and adventure as instantly as Airstream. Over the years, this iconic brand has been synonymous with the romance of the open road. The Airstream Flying Cloud travel trailers are a perfect embodiment of this legacy, earning it our number one spot on the list of the best travel trailers.

Crafted with both beginners and experienced RVers in mind, the Flying Cloud merges vintage appeal with modern comforts, creating a unique experience that sets it apart in the RV landscap

With a starting price of $94,400, it is not for everyone. But the first thing that strikes you about the Flying Cloud is its unmistakable design, which aligns with the higher-end price tag. With its distinctive aluminum shell, not only does the Flying Cloud turn heads at every campsite, but it also offers durability and a lighter towing weight. A wide variety of tow vehicles can haul one, from full-size pickups to larger SUVs with adequate towing capacity..

Sleep Capacity: 4-8

Length: 23 to 30 feet, gvwr: 6,000 to 8,800 pounds, 8 floor plans as of 2023.

Constructed with a handcrafted riveted aluminum shell, it’s more than just pretty. All Airstream designs offer exceptional durability, weather resistance, and a lighter towing weight, ensuring longevity and ease of towing. The Flying Cloud model is loaded with features that exude quality, from the high-end kitchen appliances to the porcelain toilet and more. 

Flying Cloud Features Include:

Quietstream climate control, ultraleather seating, high-end kitchen appliances, seating that converts to sleeping, memory foam mattress, handcrafted cabinetry, retractable awning, rear-view monitoring system, roller blinds and blackout curtains, moen faucets and much more.

Depending on the layout you choose, you can opt for comfortable twin beds or a spacious queen bed, both featuring a memory foam mattress for a restful night’s sleep. A full bathroom featuring a stand-up shower, a porcelain toilet, and cleverly designed storage adds another layer of convenience to your journey.

The Airstream Flying Cloud is our number one choice for the best travel trailers of 2023. It beautifully combines timeless style, superior build quality, and modern convenience in a travel trailer package that combines the joy, freedom, and adventure of life on the road with you.

Airstream Flying Cloud Floor Plans and Specs

#2. grand design rv imagine.

Grand Design RV is another one of the best travel trailer brands. They have a loyal and raving fan base that considers their travel trailers some better overall brands in the industry.

I have seen many owner reviews of Grand Design campers who rave about the quality of these units and the outstanding customer service. For me, a list of the best travel trailer brands would not be complete without Grand Design.

The company is located in Middlebury, IN. All their towables and fifth wheels come with a 3-year limited structural warranty. Imagine XLS is one of my favorites due to its excellent styling, features, and amenities. Grand Design has only been around since 2001 and today it operates as an independent business within Winnebago Industries. This line of campers is definitely on our short list of the best travel trailer brands in 2023.

Why I Recommend the Grand Design Imagine

The Imagine travel trailer line is my preferred bumper-pull from this RV manufacturer. There are several reasons I like the Imagine trailer. First off, it comes in 21 different floor plans. Even the smallest model comes with a queen-sized bed. There is no way I would want a travel trailer with anything smaller than a queen bed.

Grand Design Imagine Specifications

11 different floor plans in 3 lines, length: from 19 ft 11-inches to 36-feet 11-inches, one-piece roof membrane with 12-year warranty, arctic 4-seasons package, aluminum framed fully laminated sidewalls, uvw: 3,560 lbs to 8,394 lbs, gel-coated fiberglass exterior, double-insulated floor, roof, and front cap, heated and enclosed dump valves, factory installed rv solar power system.

The Imagine is also loaded with a ton of standard features. Here are just a few of the ones that stand out for me and for what I’m looking for:

Solid hardwood drawer fronts

Upgraded residential furniture, large double door refrigerator, large panoramic windows, residential quality countertops, 3-burner range with oven.

Grand Design Imagine Floor Plans & Specs

#3. oliver legacy elite 2.

The Oliver brand makes high-quality luxury fiberglass trailers in their Tennessee manufacturing facility. The company, which was started by twin brothers Jim and John Oliver, was formed in 2008. 

Oliver manufactures fiberglass trailer with a blend of luxury and resilience that’s hard to beat. Imagine a travel trailer built like a fortress, designed to withstand whatever Mother Nature might throw at it. That’s what Oliver offers – each trailer is constructed with a double-hull fiberglass shell. This gives superior protection against all weather conditions. It’s not inexpensive, but is a testament to the brand’s commitment to quality and durability.

The company gets that we’re all different and have our own ideas about what makes the perfect RV. That’s why they offer a wide range of customization options. Whether it’s a specific floor layout, an advanced solar power system, or leather upholstery, Oliver makes it happen. It’s like getting a tailor-made suit, but this one’s an RV made to fit your camping style and needs.

The Oliver Legacy Elite 2

The Oliver Legacy Elite 2 pictured above is my favorite model and probably one of their top-rated all-fiberglass campers. I like the Elite 2 for several reasons. I like that it has a dry weight of just 4,600 pounds. It can be towed with a good truck or full-size SUV. Keep in mind that 4,600 pounds is just the dry weight. For towing, you need to consider cargo weight too.

The Legacy Elite 2 comes in two-floor plans. One with twin beds and the with a dinette to 75″ x 79″ bed conversion. This model is loaded with standard features.

Oliver Legacy Elite 2 Specifications

Full custom molded interior and exterior insulated shells, plumbing, holding tanks, and drain pipes are enclosed between shells with heat to diminish the risk of freezing, quad shocks on dual dexter leaf spring axles, “nev-r-adjust” electric brakes for exceptional control and braking, molded vanity, norcold 3-way refrigerator 4.5 cubic ft. (12v, 11ov, lp), 15′ dometic awning, 22″ flat screen lcd tv, custom mounted speakers (4).

Oliver Travel Trailers are worth the money if you are shopping for a new RV. Their unique blend of luxury, superior construction, thoughtful design, customizability, and top-tier customer service, makes these fiberglass trailers a trustworthy companion on your road adventures.

#4. winnebago industries – micro minnie.

Another of our selected best travel trailers is Winnebago. With a history spanning over 50 years, Winnebago is a well-known and respected brand in the RV industry. Headquartered in Forest River, Iowa, the company builds a huge selection of RVs, including high-quality motorhomes, campers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers.

Winnebago makes five popular travel trailer models as of 2023. One of the best travel trailer brands for new RVers and experienced ones alike is the Micro Minnie (which replaced the older Minnie Drop model that made our former list of the best travel trailers.

What I Like About the Micro Minnie

When it comes to striking a balance between compactness and living comfort, the Micro Minnie travel trailers hit the nail right on the head. These little marvels of RV engineering manage to pack a ton of amenities into a small, easy-to-tow package, proving that you don’t have to go big to enjoy the perks of home on the road.

Despite their size, Micro Minnies don’t skimp on the essentials. Step inside to enjoy a fully-equipped kitchen that comes with a double-door refrigerator, a three-burner stove, and even a microwave. So, whether you’re warming up last night’s leftovers or cooking a full-course meal, you’ve got everything you need right there.

Winnebago Micro Minnie Specifications

11 floor plans, exterior lengths from 20’5″ to 25’5″, interior height: 6’4″, exterior height: 10’5″, dry weight: 3,755 to 4,651, gvwr: 5,500 to 6,000 lbs., gray water holding tank capacity: 25 gal., black water holding tank capacity: 25 gal..

A key aspect of Micro Minnies’ appeal is their towability. With a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 5,500 to 6,000 pounds, depending on the model, they can be comfortably towed by a variety of vehicles. Mid-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and some of the beefier crossovers make suitable companions for these compact travel trailers.

#5. happier camper hc1.

If you’re looking for an ultralight travel trailer that brings a smile to your face and makes RVing a breeze, Happier Camper travel trailers are it. These compact and retro lightweight travel trailers are winning the hearts of people who want a small trailer that can be towed by a typical passenger car.

Happier Camper trailers are incredibly versatile. Their “Adaptiv” furniture anf cabinetry are made as modular cubes. This lets you customize the layout to suit your specific needs for any camping trip. The modular system includes lightweight cubes that can be rearranged to create a comfortable sleeping area, a cozy dining space, or even a mobile office for those who can’t leave work behind. 

Each trailer’s retro-inspired design pays homage to the iconic campers of the past while incorporating modern amenities. With their vibrant colors, rounded shapes, and nostalgic appeal, Happier Camper trailers turn heads wherever they go. Plus, their lightweight construction makes them a breeze to tow, even with smaller vehicles.

Why The Happier Camper HC1?

Happier Camper trailers are also built to last. Crafted with high-quality materials and attention to detail, these trailers offer durability and reliability on the road. From the sturdy fiberglass shell to the energy-efficient appliances, every aspect of a Happier Camper trailer is thoughtfully designed for your comfort and convenience.

A notable Happier Camper HC1 feature is the expansive rear hatch that lets you easily load up a couple of bikes; even a kayak if water sports are your favorite outdoor activity. This is an awesome feature for such a small camper.

Happier Camper HC1 Specifications

100% double-hull insulation fiberglass, length: 10′ (shell), 13.5′ with hitch, width: 6′ 11″, exterior height: 7′ 4″, inside height: 6′ 1″, dry weight: 1,100 lbs., gvwr: 3,500 lbs., adaptive modules are all 20″ x 20″ and of varying height, rear hatch door:  54.5” w x 53.5” h.

One thing to keep in mind with the Happier Camper is that it does not have a typical toilet setup. The Happier Camper has a “ Dry Flush” toilet for RVs . That is the only drawback I see to this camper trailer. Remember, it is small, so don’t expect much room, but that is how it’s been designed. It’s modern, and makes exceptional use of the small interior.

#6. starcraft rv autumn ridge.

Another of our picks with a long history in the RV industry, Starcraft, started making metal farm equipment in 1903. In 1968 they began manufacturing campers. Today, what sets Starcraft apart from other small, affordable trailers is its smart construction. Made with TuffShell, Starcraft’s unique fiberglass wall construction, all Starcraft trailers give superior durability while remaining lightweight. This combination not only extends the lifespan of the RV but also makes towing a breeze, whether you tow with a full-size pickup or a mid-size SUV.

Step inside an Autumn Ridge, and he homey atmosphere helps you feel right at home wherever you park. Their kitchens are a standout, complete with a three-burner stove, a microwave, and a double-door refrigerator – all you need to whip up delicious meals on the road or at the campsite . After dinner, you can relax in the comfortable seating area, perhaps catch a show on the LED TV.

What Makes The Autumn Ridge a Best Travel Trailer?

Prior to the Autumn Ridge, the 2019 Starcraft Mossy Oak travel trailer was my preferred choice. This was a spacious camper available in 11-floor plans, including several travel trailer models with bunk beds . The Mossy Oak came in lengths from 23’4″ to 36’5″, making it the best predecessor of the Starcraft Autumn Ridge. This new model has many choices for RV buyers, with features that will make you want to own one too.

Starcraft RV Autumn Ridge Specifications

7 single-axle floorplans, plus, 7 dual-axle floorplans, lengths: 19′ 3″ to 33′ 10″, gvwr: 3750 lbs. to 7,500 lbs., inside height: 6′ 9″ to 8; 4″, fresh water tank: 26 to 58 gal., gray water tank: 19.9 to 39 gal., blackwater tank size: 19.9 to 39 gal., self-adjusting electric brakes and e-z lube® axles, thermal-seal enclosed, insulated underbelly.

The Autumn Ridge by Starcraft RV offers an excellent balance between comfort, durability, and towability. Its impressive features, combined with the ease of towing, make it a great choice

#7. lance camper 1685 travel trailer.

Lance Campers have a reputation for being very well-built and an owner base that loves the customer support offered by the company. Definitely one of the better RV brands in the industry, the designs are extremely practical and well done. Lance Campers are built with top-grade materials such as  Dual Layer Azdel composite composite panels, an eco-friendly, toxin-free composite panel superior to wood.. These trailer are also built with a one-piece Energy Star Rated Synthetic Membrane Roof.

Definitely one of the best travel trailers in 2023 (and for many years prior), Lance Camper models are renowned for their quality construction and thoughtful design. Crafted with lightweight yet robust aluminum-framed bodies, and insulated, laminated walls, Lance Camper trailers are designed to endure the elements. Their sturdy construction make them easy to tow with a variety of vehicles, from mid-sized SUVs to full-sized trucks.

Lance is confident about their RVs. In addition to the 1-year limited warranty on every trailer or truck camper they make, the company also offers a 2-year structural warranty on all models. Overall I consider Lance one of the Top 5 best travel trailer brands in the industry.

What I Like About The Lance Camper 1685

Of the 12 models of travel trailers Lance Campers makes in 2023, I like the 1685 model est. There are several reasons. The 1685 is one of their lightest travel trailer models, featuring a dry weight of just 4,690 pounds. The interior is roomy and has lots of storage space available, and the floor plan is intelligently designed and laid out for maximum space efficiency. It includes a wet bath which I have stated before, is one of my personal preferences in any RV we buy.

Lance Camper 1685 Specifications

Gvwr: 6300 lbs, gross dry weight: 4690 lbs., hitch dry weight: 575 lbs., overall length: 21’5”, exterior height: 10’2”, convertible dinette bed: 54” x 78”, fresh tank: 45 gal., grey tank: 40 gal., black tank: 40 gal., refrigerator: 6 cu. ft..

For a small travel trailer, the Lance Camper 1685 is outfitted with generous holding tank capacities. This reduces the frequency of water refills and dump station visits.

#8. shasta rv 18fq.

A division of Forest River, Shasta travel trailers have been a reliable companion for road travelers since 1941. If you’ve been camping a long time, the toaster-like look of the original Shaster brings back memories. What I love about Shasta trailers is they’re a great buy for the money.

Shasta trailers offer a wide range of towing capacities. Because these campers are crafted with a sturdy, lightweight aluminum exterior, they are durable but don’t add extra weight. Whether you already own a large truck for towing, or a family SUV, these campers are a great choice for anyone just starting their RV journey. Experienced RVers looking for an upgrade also find them a great fit. 

Why You Should Consider the Shasta 18FQ

Over the years, Shasta has trimmed their travel trailer line to just the Shasta model, which is available as a typical pull-behind and a travel trailer tow hauler. The pull-behind is available in a whopping 14 different floor plans. Of all those plans, my favorite is the 18FQ.

The 18FQ is very well laid out. Stepping inside, you can’t help but appreciate the attention to detail. Kitchens come equipped with a three-burner cooktop, a generous refrigerator, and a microwave oven, giving you all the conveniences of a home kitchen on the road. The 18FQ includes a 60″ x 74″ bed mattress with overhead storage space above and a clothes wardrobe on either side. It has a dry bath with a separate toilet and shower, medicine cabinet and a linen closet.

Shasta 18FQ Specifications

Gvwr: 5,050 lbs,, gross dry weight: 3,489 lbs., hitch dry weight: 375 lbs., overall length: 23’1”, exterior height: 10’6”, r-7 fiberglass insulation in walls, floor and roof, .024/.030 aluminum exterior skin, black tank: 30 gal., 3-burner cook top stove with glass cover.

Comfortable sleeping arrangements, quality upholstery, and thoughtful layouts in Shasta trailers set up a homely environment that helps you relax after a day of exploration. You’ll keep comfy in any season with the 18FQ’s efficient climate control system, featuring ducted heating and optional air conditioning units. If you’re in search of a reliable, value-packed travel trailer that can match your love for the open road, a Shasta travel trailer is worth considering.

#9. jayco jay flight slx.

With over 50 years of industry experience, Jayco has been one of the better brands in the RV industry. They have a loyal following and have always been very responsive to their customers. In 2016 Jayco was purchased by Thor Industries, which owns Airstream, among many other companies. Jayco’s quality, service, and customer responsiveness remain intact after the purchase by one of the world’s largest RV industry manufacturers.

he Jay Flight SLX series is one of Jayco’s top-selling lines. These campers tick all the boxes for both beginner and experienced RVers, by making travel trailers that are easy to tow, durable, and feature-packed.

Why I Like The Jay Flight SLX

Of all the travel trailer models Jayco manufactures, I prefer the Jay Flight SLX. First off, it’s not a huge camper and very light for its size. This makes the SLX very manageable when it comes to towing. In 2023 the Jay Flight SLX is available in 5 floorplans. The floorplan choices offer something for every RVer, including bunkhouse and queen bed walk around models. Two models have slideouts.

Some of the models feature a Simmons queen-size mattress which is a very comfortable camping mattress. I like that every Jay Flight SLX features a dry bath which is always nice. The bunk beds included in some models have a 4-inch mattress and a weight capacity of 300-pounds.

The galley has standard features such as two-range burners, a three cubic-foot fridge, a microwave, and solid-surface countertops. Chances are you are going to find a plan that works for your camping needs

This company is awesome. I got my 4 wheeler stuck on my property and Craig got it out the next day. He is very courteous and is an absolute professional. If you got your 4 wheeler stuck - this company will get you un-stuck. I very highly recommend this company.

After a long day the last thing I needed was a flat... my car is one of the few who DO NOT come with spares. Needless to say I found myself in need of a tow. After reading the reviews on yelp I decided on Knight's. My car only needed to go 7.4 miles down the road.... The man that answered seemed distracted at first there was a lot of commotion happening in the background & he seemed to be involved more in that than in our call. Seeing as how it was 7:30 pm I figured maybe he was out to dinner & decided not to make a deal of it. He eventually was able to quote me, $250.... $250 for LESS THAN 10 miles. When I questioned the cost he immediately became defensive & discourteous. Before hanging up he threw in a remark to his "commotion" about the woman on the phone being "too dumb" to change a flat. At this point I had had enough of his disrespect & unprofessional way of handling business so I decided to go elsewhere. Imagine my disbelief when researching the AVERAGE cost to tow nationwide & it being $5 a mile. I understand it's a business & they need to have an up charge to remain afloat but I ended up paying $112 with a competitor. Had he not have made the demeaning remarks about me I'd have paid DOUBLE what it actually ended up costing. I would just like to say the cost was not even what bothered me. I needed the tow regardless, it was the ill-mannered operator that has proven coup de grace. I sincerely hope that man can learn from his behavior & do better for the next person!

Jan 15, 2024

I apologize I am just now seeing this review. However, I have gone through my call logs, I do not have a call from anyone to my business line except for one call at 10:19am and another that evening at 11:44pm. That was a very slow day for my company. Another thing I’d like to note, I just ran a test quote in my system for a tow of the distance you mentioned at 7.4 miles with my company even at night time rates only goes up to $189.15, a 10 mile tow with my night time rates wouldn’t go past $207.09. I’m sincerely sorry you had a bad experience, but I don’t believe it was actually with my company. I am individually owned and work by myself, I answer the phones and tow the cars. Furthermore I care for everyone’s situation whether it be stranded on the side of a roadway or needing a jumpstart at home in their driveway, I could never make a statement degrading anyone whether in the phone or after hanging up, especially about a woman. There are two other knights towing company’s one in elkton Virginia and another in Virginia Beach. Where are you located exactly? Because I operate in Mechanicsville Virginia. I would love to have this issue resolved because everything mentioned above is not how I operate this business. I’ve seen many companies treat people like you mentioned you were treated and that’s exactly why I started this business to give back something positive to this community. If you could call my company line it’s 8045174101 I’m available to speak to you at anytime day or night as I am 24hrs. I look forward to speaking with you, Craig Knight-Owner/operator

My car had issues around 11PM and been calling many towing companies that claim they are open 24/7 but most of them didn't even respond or say they don't have anyone available at this time. 2 hours later after loosing hope and started calling random numbers from google I ran into Knight's towing number and he arrived within 20 minutes and was very friendly and towed my car for more than 100 miles. Definitely gonna save the number HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Definitely glad I could help! Awesome car you purchased! And glad I could be of assistance! Sorry you had to wait so long for others to not even answer!

My car was broken down, he went out of his way to obtain the cars keys from my possession go to the car and then bring it back to me on top of that gave honest opinion on what the issue could be. Top notch service personable and professional. if i ever need a tow in the future this is who i am calling.

Great service, quick to respond, and highly recommended. I needed my car towed and was planning to have it picked up at some point over the weekend. I saw the yelp ad and contacted Knight's towing and I was able to get my car towed that same night.

Man tied to towing company sentenced to prison

Wbtv’s investigation into the wild west of towing in charlotte is getting results from lawmakers and law enforcement..

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A WBTV Investigation into the Wild West of Towing is getting results from both lawmakers and law enforcement.

One person prominently featured in WBTV’s Investigation was recently sentenced to prison, while another is facing new criminal charges.

David Satterfield – WBTV has reported on Satterfield more than a dozen times since 2020 . Satterfield was recently charged with second-degree kidnapping, assault on a female, and false imprisonment in a domestic violence case. He turned himself in Cabarrus County, and his next court date is June 26th.

Despite WBTV’s investigation in February meticulously detailing how Satterfield has abused the state’s system of filing criminal warrants, Satterfield was able to visit a Mecklenburg County magistrate earlier this year and get a warrant on his girlfriend in a separate domestic violence case.

The North Carolina Attorney General’s lawsuit against Satterfield is still ongoing. NCDOJ is accusing the tow truck driver of racially targeting black drivers and car owners.

Johnathan Stopher – Court documents uncovered by WBTV link Stopher and his wife, Jessica Perry, with Satterfield. Stopher was arrested after WBTV’s reporting, and he was already facing dozens of charges for allegedly trafficking fentanyl and stealing cars and guns.

Stopher recently pleaded guilty to multiple counts of firearm larceny, fentanyl possession, and a single count of motor vehicle larceny. His plea agreement is for at least 15 months and a maximum of 27 months of prison time. He was given credit for 100 days served in county jail.

Perry’s case is still ongoing.

Nonconsensual Booting and Towing Reform – Following WBTV’s investigations into the towing industry, legislators filed a bill to regulate and enforce towing rules . H1024 will get its first hearing in the House Judiciary 2 committee on Wednesday.

The bill filed in the House proposes significant new regulations, including requiring towing businesses to acquire a permit to operate, creating a system for consumers to lodge complaints against companies through a new Towing and Recovery Commission, and allowing the new commission to set maximum fees for towing and booting.
