Many people who want to add a small camper to their pick up truck discover that there are very few lightweight travel trailers to choose from. The problem is not the diversity of models but the weight, since most of the existing designs are too heavy for a car or light pick-up truck to pull. A closer analysis of the market offer will show you that even the RV companies whether we are talking about rental agencies or dealers are reluctant to purchase lightweight travel trailers to keep them on stock. The reasoning for such a sales policy is very simple: the demand is lower for such recreational vehicles, and therefore it is not efficient to keep them in stock.
The bathroom plumbing adds up quite a lot to the weight of the vehicle, particularly as the ceiling design has to be altered to. Therefore, with many lightweight travel trailers the bathroom is pretty basic or non existent. There are four groups of lightweight travel trailers and they are divided as follows: the teardrops, the fiberglass eggs, the ultra-lightweights and the pop-up tent trailers. Each of the models has its advantage and downside: the fiberglass vehicles are less popular because of their specific smell, the teardrops are pretty crammed while the pop-ups can be used mainly in warm climates.
The ultra-lightweight vehicles that generally have around 2,000 pounds could be the most money efficient, but that very much depends on what the client aims at for both quality and use. Given the small size, the interior of lightweight travel trailers looks like a small or medium-sized bedroom in the most fortunate of cases, which is between ten and twelve feet. This should be enough to accommodate a couple, but not for a family. The various models come ready furnished from factory with basic appliances including a basic functional bathroom with or without a shower, a microwave and a stove.
The amenities included as well as the overall features of the vehicle determine the price for new and used lightweight travel trailers; the costs usually reach $10,000 or somewhere around this figure. The manufacturing year and the technical inspection remain key points to check when you want to purchase a second-hand recreational vehicle. If there is no dealer in your local area, check online for more comprehensive resources. Always go through updated databases, otherwise you may be looking at items that are no longer in stock.
