What is a Travel Trailer?
The travel trailer and fifth wheel history can be traced back to the early days in the 1920s, in which the people of the time called it "Tin Can Tourists". As time progressed, trailers and 5th wheels became more livable and earned a new name in the 1930s and 1940s which was the House Trailer. In the 1950s and 1960s, the industry seemed to split, creating the two distinctly different entities that we see today, that of the recreational vehicle (RV) industry and mobile home industry. Today travel trailers are classified as a type of RV along with Class A, Class B and C motorhome, fifth wheel trailers, pop-up trailers, and truck campers.
A travel trailer or caravan is a trailer towed behind a road vehicle (or even a horse) to provide a place to sleep which is more comfortable, sheltered and protected than a tent (although there are fold-down tent trailers) . It provides the means for people to have their own home on a journey or a vacation (holiday), without relying on a hotel, and enables them to stay in places where none are available.
Used Travel Trailer Purchase Price
Used Travel Trailers range in price depending on the size, equipment and quality of construction and total mileage. The initial cost is far less than a motorhome. Many used travel trailers have the same equipment you would find in a moderately-priced motorhome.
Used Travel Trailers Have Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Insurance costs vary widely from state to state. However, in most every case, travel trailer insurance is far less than a motorized product but a bit more in cost than a truck camper. And once you have reached your destination, you can park your travel trailer and drive around to see the sites much easier than you can with a full motorized motorhome. The cost savings in fuel make a travel trailer an excellent choice.
A truck camper gets better gas mileage than a larger, heavier motorhome, and newer trucks get much better fuel economy when used for transportation without the camper. And with fuel costs skyrocketing lately, wouldn't you rather use your money for the trip instead of on fuel?
Advantage of Large RVs, but More Mobility
Used travel trailers vary in size, but some are quite large and are very similar in capabilites to a large RV or motorhome. They provide much of the same amenities of the larger motorized RVs, but also provide additional mobility once you have reached a park or final destination. Simply un-hook your trailer and use your pick up truck to visit the "important" things such as sightseeing and visiting local fare.
Used Travel Trailers are the Right Choice
Since there are no motorized parts on a travel trailer, buying a used travel trailer allays a lot of the worries about the condition of the engine. If the tires and axels are in good shape, what more is there to worry about? So purchasing a used travel trailer is a wise choice when buying a pre-owned vehicle of any type.
