Travel trailers are one of the most common and popular types of RV on the market. These RVs come in a number of different styles, allowing them to appeal to a wide range of different people. If you want to know more about travel trailers and why they are so popular, read this guide from Boyer RV Center. 

The Towing Experience

While travel trailers are one of the most varied types of RVs when it comes to size and feature set, all of them have one thing in common: they are towed using a bumper pull hitch. Bumper pull hitches stick out, which creates a gap between the RV and the tow vehicle. The upshot of this is that travel trailers are compatible with a wide range of different tow vehicles. Any commuter vehicle with enough power to handle the weight can be used to tow a travel trailer. You can even use an SUV or minivan as your tow vehicle provided your trailer is light enough. 

The Maintenance

Among RVs, travel trailers are some of the cheapest and easiest to maintain. Though their lack of an independent drivetrain means that they cannot travel under their own power, it also means that you do not have to worry about oil changes or other such maintenance tasks. Some travel trailer manufacturers take steps to make maintenance even easier with color-coded wiring and easily accessible systems. If you are interested in performing DIY maintenance on your RV, ask about models that offer these features. 

The Features

As mentioned before, all travel trailers utilize a bumper pull hitch. Beyond that, there are few restrictions as to what can be considered a travel trailer. You can choose anything from a stripped-down model built for only a few people to a luxurious trailer with a fireplace and entertainment center. With such a wide variety of different models on offer, you are almost certain to be able to find a travel trailer that fits your budget, tow vehicle, number of passengers, and the level of luxury you want to experience.
