Travel trailers range from huge and luxurious models to much smaller and more compact campers. While many people operate under the assumption that bigger always means better, that’s not always true. If you’re interested in learning more about the benefits of owning a lightweight travel trailer, check out this guide from the experts at Jubilee R.V. Centre. 

Ease Of Towing

The lighter the travel trailer, the easier it will be to tow. Some models are so compact and aerodynamic that they are designated as “ultra lightweight”. These vehicles are some of the easiest to tow, which has the side effect of making them compatible with a huge range of different tow vehicles since the GCWR requirements are so low. 

Environmentally Friendly

Less fuel is required to tow around a lightweight travel trailer compared to a heavier one. This makes lightweight travel trailers an environmentally friendly option. Smaller and lighter travel trailer models also require less materials to build and are often made from recycled materials like composites. 

The Budget-Conscious Choice

Lightweight travel trailers are also very affordable. Being smaller means a lower sticker price, and not requiring as much fuel to tow means you won’t have to pay for fuel as often. This makes lightweight travel trailers ideal for smaller families that are on a budget or know that they won’t get to RV camp very often. Smaller travel trailers are also much easier/cheaper to store when not in use.
