13 Best Travel Trailers for Road Trips and Camping

Hit the open road and camp in comfort with the best travel trailers.

Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure , covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products. Originally from South Carolina, Elizabeth moved to New York City from London, where she started her career as a travel blogger and writer.

With so many brands, sizes, and amenities to choose from, it can be difficult to know which travel trailer is right for your next adventure in the great outdoors . Paige Bouma, executive vice president of sales and operations of Trader Interactive, knows a thing or two about RV travel. She has been taking RV vacations with her family for years, often traveling for 30 weekends a year. According to Bouma, towable RVs (like travel trailers) are great for camping , and there are a number of choices to consider. "Families looking to experience the great outdoors have several choices when it comes to trailers they can tow behind their car, SUV, or pickup," she said. "The traditional travel trailer comes in a variety of lengths and weights, and provides a multitude of amenities and a sleeping capacity for any size family to go camping."

With this in mind, we've rounded up 13 of the best travel trailers so you can plan your next road trip . Whether you're a first-timer looking for tips to get started or a frequent traveler trying to decide on your next RV rental , this list includes fan favorites like Airstream, Winnebago, and Jayco travel trailers, ranging from luxury vehicles to small and lightweight campers.

Beginner's Guide to RV Trailers

How to choose the right model for you

Traveling by RV is a resurging trend amid the coronavirus pandemic, with families seeking an escape while maintaining social distancing. A motorhome or travel trailer allows you to see the country without the need to use public lodging, restaurants, or even restrooms.

“We are noticing increased interest in the lifestyle both virtually through online resources and resuming interest in states where dealerships are open when compared to when the pandemic began,” says Sam Jefson, a spokesman for Winnebago Industries, maker of Winnebago and Grand Design motorhomes and travel trailers.

Trailers are the least expensive way to get into the recreational vehicle (RV) lifestyle. That’s because owners often need nothing more than the family SUV or truck to haul them. They’re much cheaper and simpler to get started with than a motorhome , and they come in a wide range of designs, sizes, and prices.

Because a trailer can be removed, the SUV or truck that hauls it can be used year-round rather than serving solely as a vacation coach, as is the case with an all-in-one RV. Plus, the vehicle towing the trailer is likely to have modern safety features that are just now arriving in some RVs, including forward collision warning , automatic emergency braking , blind spot warning , and robust crash protection. Tow vehicles also provide the ability to safely travel with kids and their car seats , an option that's often not available in motorhomes.

Trailers also offer a lot of flexibility when you’re on a campground. You can unhitch the trailer, leave it behind, and use the tow vehicle to explore. This means you don’t have to pack things away inside the camper and disconnect all the power and water lines each time you want to leave the park, like you have to do when traveling in a motorhome. And a tow vehicle will be a lot easier to handle when sightseeing, especially when navigating downtown roads, parking, and getting food at a drive-thru.

Still, there’s a compromise for that flexibility. Towing an RV trailer requires drivers to develop new skills that are very different from those needed to drive a car. A lot of space is needed to park a long tow vehicle and trailer combination. Learning how to reverse the trailer takes patience and practice. You also need to learn how to safely hitch and unhitch the trailer. Of course, you need to own a vehicle that's capable of safely towing the trailer you have in mind.

Approach this aspect with care, as it's very easy to buy more trailer than a vehicle can comfortably handle. (Learn more about what you need to know before you use your pickup to tow .) There are several types of recreational trailers to consider, outlined below.

Safe Practices for Traveling Now

The RV lifestyle has social distancing built in, but there are times when you'll be around other people.

"RVing and boating are great ways for families to get back out and enjoy the enrichment that comes with active outdoor lifestyle activities,” Jefson says. But he adds that campers should follow guidelines from federal and state governments and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in determining when and how to use an RV.

Traveling in an RV always involves certain logistics, such as scheduled maintenance, park reservations, route planning, and stocking up on provisions. But during this pandemic, you may need to be more methodical and self-sufficient.

Darryl Saunders, a traveler who pulls a 27-foot Airstream Globetrotter, shared several tips with Consumer Reports from his recent experiences on the road:

Plan your stops. Park closures, restrictions, and crowding are all factors now.
Double-check your reservations to make sure they are still valid.
If you're traveling to a destination for a certain attraction, make sure it's open. Saunders mentioned that a place he wanted to see (Sequoia National Park) was closed.
Plan ahead for food. Many businesses are now reopening, but there are still restrictions. And remember that you won't be able to go through a drive-thru with a large trailer.

Many travelers recommend checking with RV parks about their amenities because some, including restrooms, laundry facilities, and on-site convenience stores, may be closed. Ask about specific rules regarding social distancing, which can have an on impact on pool usage, playgrounds, and campfires.

Restrictions vary by region, and they'll certainly change throughout the year. They may include the need to self-quarantine after traveling in certain states. Check the restrictions for your state and those you plan to travel through, because they could have a significant impact on your plans.

Folding or Pop-Up Trailers

Jeep / Scott Lane Jeep / Scott Lane

Sitting only about 4 feet high when towed, pop-up trailers can be raised by hand crank or electrically at a campsite. Most have tentlike sides and extensions that pull out of either end. Some brands, such as Aliner and TrailManor , have hard sides, providing more durability and insulation.

Length: 8 to 20 feet Weight: 1,000 to 4,000 pounds Sleeps: Two to eight people Price: $10,000 to $30,000

Least expensive type of trailer.
Can be very lightweight; the smallest ones can be towed by many cars.
Low aerodynamic profile helps fuel economy.
Pull-out end extensions, which typically house beds, create large sleeping spaces for what is a relatively short trailer.
Some hard-sided models can be put up very quickly.
These often lack the luxuries of larger trailers, such as a private toilet (or any bathroom facility at all).
There isn’t much insulation from noise or cold.
Tent-sided models need more maintenance, and the fabric requires replacement eventually.
Tent-sided models are prohibited in some campgrounds because of the danger posed by bears.

Travel Trailers

Winnebego / www.joehendricks.com Winnebego / www.joehendricks.com

Travel trailers are the most widely sold and most varied type of towable RV. They have solid walls and often feature a slide—a section of wall that either pulls out or motors out to provide more space inside when camping.

Travel trailers come in a wide variety of sizes and designs:

Small retro-inspired “teardrop” trailers that are essentially a tent and bed on wheels.
Small molded fiberglass trailers, such as the Casita and Scamp, have drawn passionate fan bases for their low-maintenance designs.
Midpriced trailers from companies such as Forest River, Gulf Stream, and Jayco offer a lot of space and features for the money.
The iconic Airstream has a distinctive aluminum body. Aerodynamic and low to the ground, these are easy to tow but are expensive for their size.

Smaller trailers typically have a single axle; larger trailers can have two (or even three). More axles increase towing stability and let you limp the trailer to safety in case of a single flat tire, but they can also add to tire replacement costs.

Many small trailers can be pulled by a midsized SUV. As trailers increase in size and weight, it is necessary to increase the capability of the tow vehicle. Make sure you pay attention to the key weights: the tongue’s and total trailer’s.

The tongue extends from the trailer and puts direct downward pressure on the hitch, so it’s essentially considered a payload. Then there is the weight of the entire trailer, which is how much the vehicle has to pull. Some vehicles may look appropriate until you factor in the added weight of passengers and cargo, including water in the tanks.

Many SUVs and trucks can be equipped with transmission coolers to ease the strain of a trailer on the drivetrain. Consider adding anti-sway bars or a load-leveling kit for a travel trailer, even a smaller one.

Consumer Reports / jb Consumer Reports / jb

Length: 8 to 40 feet Weight: 1,000 to 10,000 pounds Sleeps: Two to eight people Price: $10,000 to $150,000

Rigid walls provide some insulation from cold and noise compared with a pop-up trailer or tent.
Very little setup time.
A wide variety of lengths and weights.
A suitable tow vehicle is required, which may need to be larger and more powerful than you think.
Towing requires drivers to learn (and practice) different driving skills.
Larger trailers won’t fit into small campsites.

Hybrid or Expandable Trailers

Hybrid or expandable RV trailers increase sleeping space without the downsides—the added length and weight—that come with getting a bigger trailer. They do that by combining the hard-sided body of a conventional travel trailer with the pullout end extensions typically found on a folding trailer. This design can let you use a smaller tow vehicle while still providing enough sleeping space and amenities for the whole family.

Length: 8 to 26 feet Weight: 2,500 to 5,500 pounds Sleeps: Four to eight people Price: $10,000 to $40,000

Extra sleeping space without added length and weight.
Takes more setup time than a typical travel trailer.
Tent-sided material needs to be maintained, and the fabric may need replacing eventually.
Doesn’t do as good a job at blocking sound in noisy campgrounds as fully hard-sided trailers do.

Fifth-Wheel Trailers

AJ Mueller AJ Mueller

Fifth-wheel trailers are designed to be towed by pickup trucks. The front of this type of trailer extends over a pickup bed that has a hitch that sits beneath the forward quarters. The trailer slides into place in the pickup truck bed.

Fifth-wheel trailers are generally large and heavy, requiring at least a half-ton truck equipped by the factory to handle a heavy payload. A handful of manufacturers make smaller fifth-wheels that can be easily towed by smaller trucks, such as Escape fiberglass trailers. It's common to use a heavy-duty truck to tow a fifth-wheel. If you're shopping for a trailer and a tow vehicle, consider a pickup truck with dual rear wheels (often referred to as a “dually”) to pull the largest trailers for better stability and payload capacity. Look at the specific capabilities on the truck you own or plan to buy, because truck cargo and towing capacities can vary widely depending on the engine, the cab configuration, and transmission gearing.

Winnebego Winnebego

Length: 20 to 40 feet Weight: Typically 7,000 pounds and up, excluding a few small models Sleeps: Four to eight people Price: $20,000 to $150,000

Provide more living space for their towing length.
Fifth-wheel hitches tend to be very stable for towing.
Typically has a dedicated bedroom in front.
Often needs a heavy-duty truck.
Tall height might not fit under some bridges.
The truck bed’s use will be limited when you’re towing.
Not many truly small fifth-wheel trailers are available; “lightweight” ones typically weigh at least 7,000 pounds.

Toy Haulers or 'Sport-Utility Trailers'

Toy haulers or “sport-utility trailers” can come in any travel trailer type. They usually have an enclosed garage in back, designed for carrying motorcycles, ATVs, or other outdoor playthings. A ramp is built in off the back of the trailer, letting you drive these toys out. The ramp itself can often be used as a porch once the toy is unloaded.

Length: 18 to 40 feet Weight: 3,000 to 10,000 pounds Sleeps: Four to eight people Price: $10,000 to $150,000

Lots of storage space.
Provides garage space to keep things dry or store tools.
Garage can be used for additional sleeping space or a room to hang out in.
Unique porch functionality.
Shrinks available living space.
Putting heavy ATVs or motorcycles at the rear can hurt trailer balance and handling.

Truck Campers

Truck campers slide into the back of a pickup truck’s bed—no towing needed. Often they stick out over the top of the truck’s cab to increase living space. Lightweight “expedition style” models usually have tentlike fabric sides that pop up to add headroom.

The key for truck-camper owners is having enough payload capacity. Some pop-top lightweight models fit into smaller trucks, but the typical hard-sided truck camper is too heavy for a half-ton truck, unless that truck is carefully optioned to maximize payload. Most owners tend to use heavy-duty trucks.

Length: 6 to 12 feet Weight: 1,000 to 3,000 pounds Sleeps: Two to four people Price: $15,000 to $50,000

Compact and easy to drive; not much bigger than the truck itself.
Allows for off-roading adventures.
Some specialty models fit in midsized trucks, such as the Toyota Tacoma.
Not much living space.
It can be a high climb to get in.
Typical hard-sided truck campers require a heavy-duty truck.
It can be a hassle to install and remove from truck.
Often expensive for their size.

Bottom Line

No matter which recreational trailer or RV you buy, take time making your decision. A common adage is to “buy your third trailer first” because many people who stick with this hobby go through two or three RVs before they find the right fit. In other words, pace yourself and do your research.

You can accelerate that process (and maybe save grief and money) by renting an RV before you buy. That will help you sort out which kind of floor plan and features are important for your type of camping and your family.

Most of these features are the ones you will want to install to your trailer someday down the road, but if you can get them factory installed, that not only saves you time to research the products and install, but you may be able to save money on the items as well as have them included on your travel trailer warranty.

Depending on where you camp, or how long you are traveling depends on what features you would look for in your specific trailer, but these features are the top ones most travel trailer users desire.

We picked these items with the basis of them improving your camping experience, making it quicker to get up and running, as well as for the function of your trailer. If you are searching for a new travel trailer, read more on our Travel Trailer Buyers Guide .

WIFI Range Extender

Having an included WIFI range extender will help you get a good signal from your campgrounds WIFI in your trailer. Gone are the days of only getting your campgrounds WIFI in specific common areas. A WIFI range extender basically acts as a repeater by catching the signal from the campground, then repeating it in your trailer for you and your family to use. This not only will result in more range, but a quicker signal than you could normally get when on the outskirts of having range or not. This keeps you in communication with the outside world if you are in an area with no cell phone service.

Having this gadget preinstalled can save you the hassle of wiring it into your 12 volt system as well as the hassle of having to make roof penetrations for the wiring and bolting down. In my opinion, a roof penetration is one of the most difficult things to do on a travel trailer as it can cause leaks if done incorrectly. Forest River travel trailers are starting to include WIFI range extenders on many of their units.

If your RV did not come standard with a WIFI range extender, we really like this one .

MaxxAir Vent Fan

Most trailers today come with a small loud fan that doesn’t do too much except waste power. Some brands of travel trailers are starting to include upgraded fans on their units. Forrest River once again is including these on some of their Rockwoods, Rpods, E-Pro’s and some others. This saves the end user from having to do some roof patching when adding a fan as well as the 12v electrical work.

The stock fans on travel trailers are known for how junky they are. The fan is only covers about 20% of the total vent and is not very efficient at moving air. These motors also tend to draw a lot of power with how inefficient they are.

One major must have lots of travel trailer owners recommend is a vent van upgrade. These MaxxAir fans can be had in many different models. Our favorite model is the MaxxFan Plus Vent . The MaxxFan Plus includes the fan, a new vent cover, as well as a remote. Not only does the remote act as a control for the fan, but it also acts as a remote thermostat which can start and stop the fan depending on what temperature you have it set to. This can keep your trailer cool while you are gone for the day and not have to run the a/c.

The MaxxFan Plus also has a motorized vent cover with rain sensor so the vent can be remotely opened and closed and if it is left open and you are out and about, the vent will automatically close if it senses any moisture. This fan covers about 80% of the vent opening with a 10 blade fan and can be operated in forward or reverse. If you have two fans, you can set one to forward and the other to reverse to quickly air out your trailer. These fans are equipped with a ball bearing motor which is more efficient than the stock motor. These fans can be used to exhaust air, or act as a ceiling fan and blow air around in your trailer. These upgraded fans move about 900 cfm of air per minute. A 20’ trailer that is 8’ wide with 7’ high ceilings has about 1,120 cubic foot of air without any furniture. With furniture and fixtures it probably has more like 850 cubic foot. With this fan you can replace your air in your trailer every minute.

Rooftop Solar Panel

As I am sure you have found out if you are out in the trailer market, that there is a difference between solar ready and solar installed. Solar ready basically means you have a terminal on the exterior of your travel trailer for installing a portable system at a later date. We are finding that many manufacturers are including solar preinstalled. Nash includes a 20 watt panel, the Flagstaff E-Pro includes a 100 watt unit. This amount of power will not keep you up and running off grid, but will keep your batteries topped off when in storage and provide a bit of charge if out off grid. Outdoors RV has some models with a preinstalled panel with connectors already installed on the roof to install up to 500 watts with the included controller. This means that you don’t have to do much roof work when installing solar, just fitting the panels on the roof and no cable routing through the unit.

Preinstalled solar and a controller eliminates the running of wires through the roof, to the controller, and down to the battery. This can be hectic finding wire chases to run wires and drilling through your roof or other items.

500 watts of solar should be enough to use most of your basic items while off grid and keep your batteries charged.

Backup Camera Ready

We have seen trailers that come back up camera ready for a select model or style of cameras. Typically we see Furrion branded ready. A backup ready RV doesn’t mean a whole lot, just pre wired for power as well as a mounting plate. Even though this does not sound like a lit, these two items can save hours of finding and running power as well as drilling into the unknown of your RV. A backup camera is a top feature that will help you with your towing game, for information on additional items that will help you with your towing game, read our guide to the Top Towing Accessories .

Solar Ready

Solar ready travel trailers are on the rise and are a good feature to have. If you get a suitcase solar system with controller, you can simply plug the panel into your RV and get some charge. This is very simple for the person who does not need a whole 500 watt array of solar, but just some juice to keep your batteries charged when running lights at night or the occasional water pump.

Dual Wide Axle

Having a wide axle preinstalled on your travel trailer helps with vehicle sway while driving down the road as well as stability. Winnebago, Keystone, Jayco, and others have all jumped on the bandwagon on the wider axle placement for more stability.

How you load your RV also plays a large part on how it acts while going down the road. Some trailers now such as the Outdoors RV are also including shock absorbers. This provides stability from bouncing around when the trailer hits a bump and is important if off roading to get to your back country off grid spot.

Power Tongue Jack

Lots of brands are including a power tongue jack on their new units, and let me tell you, this is a must. Saving your arms from cranking and cranking up then down then up again is much appreciated when hitching up and unhitching. Power tongue jacks can also be installed aftermarket on many trailers. The good news is they are located next to the battery box, so wiring them in is a breeze. We have this jack installed on our travel trailer as it is quick, reliable, and quiet. Also included is a manual crank in case your battery is too low to use the electric jack. You don’t want to get caught without the ability to raise or lower your travel trailer.

Tip: Power tongue jacks do use some power, so when unhooking your RV at a campsite, make sure you are still connected to vehicle power to save that little bit of extra juice.

Power Stabilizing Jacks

Many new trailers are coming with power stabilizing jacks. We have seen these on some Dutchman models as well as Keystone. A power stabilizer jack once again saves your arms from cranking them down.

Some trailers have a single button to deploy all jacks at the same time automatically, and some have a switch at each corner to manually release each jack. This saves you time from not having to get your hand crank out and crank them each down.

Tip: If you are not interested in power stabilizing jacks, buy this drill attachment and get them down quickly.

Built in Window in Front Cap

There is never enough windows installed in travel trailers, by having a window installed on your front cap gives you the ability to see what is going on to the front of your trailer, but gives you the natural light that you could have been missing.

Some of these trailers come with a shield to install when driving, and some are made of automotive windshield glass. We have seen Rockwood, Airstream , Lance, and other manufactures use this technique to make their units feel more open and livable.

Outdoor Kitchen

A built in outdoor kitchen can bring the party to the outdoors, which is the reason you have gone camping in the first place and can be found on most all manufactures trailers. Some units include a sink, fridge, as well as stove.

We loved the idea of getting an outdoor kitchen, but could not find one in the size of RV we were looking for. These kitchens not only keep people outside in nature, but keep them out of walking in and out of the RV trying to cook and prepare meals keeping your trailer cleaner as well as the AC or heat inside depending on the season.

One downside of the refrigerators installed in outdoor kitchens, is they are typically 120v units meaning they will not work on battery. If you plan on being off grid, you may not find this refrigerator as important and remove it for extra storage on these off grid trips.

Power Awning

At the last RV show we attended we found out some manufacturers are still installing manual awnings. In this day and age this is a no no. A large power awning is a must in our book. Our awning is about 13’ which is a good size to have a table and room for chairs under.

We love the power feature as we can quickly bring it in at night if it is windy, or bring it in if we are gone for the day. Some awnings in new units include a wind sensor. This automatically brings the awning in if it senses it will have wind damage. A 13’x10’ awning is like a huge sail, so you want to make sure it does not get caught in a huge wind storm. If you do, you could find yourself without an awning or one with significant damage.

Heated and Enclosed Undercarriage

A heated and enclosed undercarriage is very important in winter months when you don’t want pipes or your holding tanks to freeze. It is also important to have an enclosed undercarriage to keep debris out when you are driving. Your undercarriage will only be heated when your heat is on, so do not think that this will keep you safe when on a winter trip.

Lots of RV’s include this feature, but you want to make sure that the valves for your dump tanks are also enclosed so they get heated. Going to the dump site and not being able to dump can cause problems. This is also why you do not want to leave your dump valves open at all times so your sewer pipe does not get frozen closed.

If you are considering getting an RV for its heated capabilities, read our tips on how to keep warm in the winter .

Heated Holding Tanks

Holding tank heaters go along with a heated and insulated undercarriage. Many people mistake the fact that they have a heated undercarriage that they will be OK in the winter. The fact is, that if your heater is off in your RV because it is up to temp, then you do not have heat going to your tanks.

Installing 12v heat pads on your tanks can keep them freeze free. Some RV manufacturers are including heaters on their unit. One we have found once again is the Rockwood units. Many more may have this option or have it included as well. These are also easy to install aftermarket, but running the wiring can be a bit difficult if you don’t know what you are doing.

Heated Mattress Pad

We are seeing a pattern here, Rockwood once again is including heated mattress pads on their units. This is great for the cold or winter months. By using this heat, you can save propane if on a longer trip or away from filling stations. We have seen some E-Pros include this as well.

A heated mattress pad is an easy install on a used unit, or you can go for a heated blanket which would be just as good.

Dual Pane Windows

Dual pane windows not only keep your RV cooler in the summer, hotter in the winter, but quieter from outside noise as well as reduce condensation on your windows. Dual pane windows are nice to have if they are included on the trailer you are looking at, but if you are just using it to camp here and there, they may not be as important.

I do not believe you can install dual pane windows after the fact as they will have different mounting options from your stock windows. If you are full timing in your rig in northern climates, these would be a must have on my list in either a cold or warm climate.

On Board Generator

Some brands such as Nash, Outdoors RV, as well as others have a space to either buy direct from the manufacturer, or install aftermarket. Typically these generators are propane so there is no need to lug around a big generator, gas, and extra tanks. Even if you have a generator space, you don’t necessarily need to get a preinstalled unit, you can use the space to fit a small Honda or Yamaha in the space for travel and take out for usage. Pre installed units typically start at the push of a button getting you up and running with power without leaving your bathrobe.

All in all, there are many features to look for when purchasing either a new or used travel trailer. These are some of our favorite features to look for as most typically are installed down the road by many travel trailer users, so you can save yourself some trouble by finding them preinstalled.

Our current trailer has a electric jack, heated and insulated undercarriage, power awning, dual wide axle, and is solar ready. We plan on adding a WIFI extender, holding tank heaters, 200 watts of rooftop solar, a backup camera, as well as a MaxxAir fan. Looking back at it now, I do wish we spent more time finding a trailer which included all of these features as it may not have cost as much, and taken our time to install.

Question: What are Mike and Jen's Most Important RV Features?

Here's a transcript of the question, left on our RV Podcast Voicemail number of 586-372-6990:

“Hi Mike and Jennifer: Thank you for the valuable information you provide to the RV Community. My husband (six foot two)and I are nearing retirement and planned to purchase our RV in the near future. We've narrowed the search to a 20 to 25ft class B or B+ RV, which we believe allows us to fit in the most national park smaller camp sites do boondocking. I plan to continue to work part-time remotely. We purchased your RV buying secrets and it has been very informative and answered a lot of questions. TIP: CLICK HERE for more information on our RV Buying Secrets eBook. It will save you money! We are a bit overwhelmed with the features. We should be looking for in our RV. I would like to ask the experience two RV experts – you and Jennfer – to select the top ten features you can't live without in your class B B+ RV, If you could, please focus on features that you must make in the initial purchase that can't be added later. For example, dedicated bed, ducted air conditioning, safety features on the coach like blind spot and lane-keeping assist, on-demand water heater, six-cubic-foot 3-way fridge freezer, convection oven, deep sink, counter space, tank sizes, propane versus induction, diesel vs gas ,storage capacity. Thank you again for all that. You do to provide quality and educational content to the RV Community wage. I look forward to hearing the top ten features you guys can't live without. Thank you!”

Answer: Some RV Features are Preferences rather than Essentials

The caller asked about a lot of things that deal more with preferences rather than must-haves.

For example, she asked about:

Gas vs Diesel – We are happy with both. Right now we have a gasoline-powered RV. Our previous RVs are diesel. We can and have been happy with both. Gasoline is a bit easier to find. And, right now, it's cheaper.

CLICK HERE for an article we wrote on Gas vs Diesel

Induction vs Gas cooktop – We've had and have been happy with both.

Countertop – Most countertops in Class Bs are about the same. The bigger the better, but counter space is not a deal-breaker for us.

Sink faucet – A lot of RVs have very cheap plastic faucets. Stay away from them is you can. But, again, this is not a deal-breaker for us. We can easily replace and upgrade if we want.

Ducted air conditioning – We had this on our last RV and it was awesome. Our current RV does not have it and we do miss it. This is important, almost a deal-breaker. But not quite.

Lane-keeping assist – These come standard on all new coaches

Blindspot detection – This is standard on Class B RVs but is not available as a factory option on B+ r Class C RVs

So let us share our most important RV features list – and some accompanying photos and videos – in the hopes that it will give you an idea of what kinds of things should be on your list.

Our 10 Most Important RV Features List

Dedicated beds – And always-made real bed. In our case. We like the twin beds on our Leisure Travel Vans Wonder RTB . They have a nightstand between them that can be converted into a foundation that will allow the mattresses to be fitted next to each other side by side in a near-Queen-sized bed. These are real beds, with mattresses, instead of sofa cushions that are found on many small RVs.

2) Separate living and sleeping areas – We have a sleeping area for the beds and a living area near the galley that doubles as a workspace/office. And the design of our current RV allows the door of the shower to be able to open across the hallway, physically dividing those two areas into separate rooms. The previous model we had, a Unity FX from LTV, has a front lounge and a rear lounge which also gave us two distinct areas to spread out in.

3) A Dry Shower – By this, we mean a standalone shower stall, Many of the smaller RVs we’ve previously owned have wet showers or showers that are part of the bathroom and toilet area. Even with a shower curtain, those areas get wet all over – that’s why they call them a wet shower. A dry shower area is a non-negotiable must-have for us.

4) Instant Hot Water – For us, that means the Truma Aqua Go water heater system. Turn it on and the water is instantly hot. For the shower, there’s no wasting water as you wait for it to get warm. For washing and rinsing dishes and washing your hands it’s a wonderful convenience, a luxury. The hot water is instant, constant and endless if you are hooked up to city water. When boondocking and using our fresh water tanks, it allows much more efficient showers, stretching your freshwater supply much longer than when we had to wait for the water to warm up.

NOTE: Here is a Video Review of our Leisure Travel Vans Wonder RTB showing many of these most important RV features:

5) Heated, lithium batteries – Once you rely on lithium batteries for your RV, you will never go back to regular lead acid or AGM batteries. The more the better, especially if you like boondocking. On our current RV and our previous one, we had two 100 amp lithium batteries. Those have provided all the boondocking power we want. Our current Battleborn lithium batteries were installed at the factory with heaters, keeping them warm and operating very efficiently even in freezing weather,

6) Solar Panels – These work in conjunction with the lithium power system. Solar is often oversold by RV dealers but we feel it is a must-have. For us, 400 watts of solar do the job, effectively topping off our lithium batteries each day from whatever power we drained from them over the previous night.

7) A powerful inverter – We would prefer 3,000 watts but our current RV has a 2000 watt inverter and it powers everything in our RV except the air conditioner when camping off the grid. There’s an add-on gadget called the SoftStart that will allow the AC to work off the 2,000-watt inverter but that’s a separate topic. You do want a powerful inverter. So many RVs come with stingy 1,000 or 1,500-watt inverters. With the technology and power needs posed by boondocking – our preferred style of camping –, that’s just not enough. A 2KW inverter is an absolute minimum you should get.

9) A generator – We would not travel without a generator. Ours is a 2.5 KW Cummins generator that we had installed at the factory. It is wired into the RV’s power system and runs on LP and allows us to run the AC while boondocking for extended periods of time if needed. It will also charge the coach batteries if needed, giving us still another power source while we are off the grid.

9) Apple Car Play in the entertainment system – Because we have iPhones, we use Apple Car Play. But Android Auto offers the same capabilities for those who don’t use Apple systems. Our Wonder, on the Ford Transit cutaway chassis, has a great entertainment system that has Apple Car Play and Android Auto capabilities. We use it to run our favorites raveling apps right through the dashboard display and entertainment system. It plays our music, our favorite podcasts and we use Google Maps and the Waze real-time traffic app for our GPS navigation. This is also a must for us on any RV we will buy in the future.

10) Maximum Exterior Storage Space – The biggest problem with small RVs is finding room for taking along all the things you want to use in your RV adventures. Chairs, bikes, in our case lots of photos and video gear, maybe an inflatable kayak someday. The RV we have has a pass-through are in the rear that will hold two bikes and all the toys and gear we want to take with us. It’s so big we call it “the garage.” We see other small RV manufacturers making similar storage space in their designs. But for us, we’re spoiled now and that extra storage space is another must-have for whatever RV we next get.

That’s our list of the 10 most important RV features we used in selecting our RV

Every RVer is different, of course. What we think is important may not be to you. We all have different things that are must-haves to get the most out of the RV Lifestyle.

We urge everyone to make a similar list when shopping for their next RV. It helps with your shopping and gives you a checklist and a guide to sorting through all the different RVs out there.

You grossly underestimated the weight per gallon of water. You stated water weighs 3.79 lbs/gallon when it fact it is 8.34lbs/gallon, so you are off by 4.55 lbs/gallon. On a 50 gallon water tank this means your calculations would be off by almost 228-lbs. This error could cause someone to have an overloaded RV causing safety issues. An even larger water tank would increase this error.

What Is the Best Couples Travel Trailer Under 30 Feet?

Length: 26’9”
Dry Weight: 5,578 pounds
Cargo Capacity: 2,027 pounds
Interior Height: 78”

Favorite Feature: Hidden Shelves

The Campsite Reserve 23CC features an L-shaped kitchen, a U-shaped booth dinette, a large rear bathroom, and a king-size bed. Even though it’s less than 27 feet long, it has everything you need for a comfortable weekend camping trip, including a tankless water heater, a backup camera, huge windows, and a water filtration system.

My favorite feature is the hidden shelving behind the television. Just pull out the entertainment center, and there’s plenty of storage for pantry items, kitchen gadgets, dishes, and more. The outside kitchen extends the cooking space, allowing you to enjoy grilling without hauling another piece of equipment.

East to West Silver Lake 2500RD

Length: 29’10”
Dry Weight: 6,098 pounds
Cargo Capacity: 3,347 pounds
Interior Height: 81”

Favorite Feature: Ample Interior Living Space

At just under 30 feet long, the Silver Lake 2500RD is one of the largest travel trailers on our list. Because of its size and one large slide-out, you’ll have plenty of room to entertain guests, enjoy a Friday night movie, or host the grandkids.

There’s a U-shaped booth dinette, jackknife sofa, and L-shaped kitchen in the main living area. In the front is a king bed and double wardrobes, as well as underneath and overhead storage. You won’t have any problems finding places for clothes, dishes, camping gear, and other necessities in this travel trailer. And because of its large cargo carrying capacity, you don’t have to worry about packing too many items.

Forest River Salem 22ERAS

Length: 28’2”
Dry Weight: 6,196 pounds
Cargo Capacity: 1,489 pounds
Interior Height: 80”

Favorite Feature: Huge Rear Kitchen

If you’re looking for a large kitchen in a small travel trailer, the Salem 22ERAS has it. My favorite feature is the massive L-shaped rear kitchen, which includes bar seating and ample counterspace. The double sink is also a nice amenity when cooking and cleaning up.

In addition, there is an oversized refrigerator, a full-height pantry, theater seating, and hidden shelves behind the entertainment center. The walk-through bathroom separates the main living space from the front bedroom, providing privacy if one person enjoys waking up early or if you invite over guests for a weekend campfire.

Keystone Cougar Half-Ton 25FKD

Length: 29’11”
Dry Weight: 7,130 pounds
Cargo Capacity: 1,670 pounds
Interior Height: 84” (at center); 78” (at edges)

Favorite Feature: Two Slide-Outs

With the two slide-outs, you’ll enjoy a spacious interior in the rear bedroom and front living area. The Cougar Half-Ton 25FKD includes a queen bed with a wardrobe and dresser for plenty of storage. Like a few of the other couple’s travel trailers under 30 feet, it also features additional storage behind the entertainment center.

The L-shaped front kitchen offers plenty of room for meal prep, and the booth dinette and tri-fold sleeper sofa provide two separate lounge spaces. If you’re hosting the grandkids for the weekend, they’ll enjoy privacy and space in this front living room. These features make this Cougar camper one of the best couple’s travel trailers.

East to West Alta 1900MMK

Length: 25’
Dry Weight: 5,463 pounds
Cargo Capacity: 2,147 pounds

Favorite Feature: Murphy Bed

The Alta 1900MMK is the only travel trailer on our list with a Murphy bed. What I love about this floorplan is its day-to-night versatility. Enjoy two sofas for lounging during the day while the bed is tucked away. At night, it’s easy to bring down the queen Murphy bed and savor a comfortable night’s sleep.

This couple’s trailer also features a removable table for a simple dining space and a large countertop for meal prep. You won’t have any problem finding room for your coffee maker , Instant Pot, crockpot, air fryer, or other kitchen gadgets.

Rockwood Signature 8263MBR

Rear bathroom in rockwood-8263mbr-couples-travel-trailer-under-30-feet

Dry Weight: 7,809 pounds
Cargo Capacity: 2,056 pounds
Interior Height: 86”

Favorite Feature: Large Rear Bathroom

While some travel trailers under 30 feet skimp on bathroom space, the Rockwood Signature 8263MBR prioritizes this part of the camper. It features a double vanity, a large shower with a seat, and space for two people to move about freely. This rear bathroom is a great selling point when searching for the best travel trailer for a couple.

I also love the spacious U-shaped kitchen with ample countertops that include bar seating. Because of this designated eating area, there’s no need for an additional dinette, keeping this travel trailer under 30 feet long. The slide-out in the living area also increases the interior space.

Keystone Bullet Crossfire 2530RDS

Length: 29’8”
Dry Weight: 5,670 pounds
Cargo Capacity: 1,930 pounds
Interior Height: 82” (at center)

Favorite Feature: Queen Bed

The Bullet Crossfire 2530RD is very similar to the East to West Silver Lake mentioned above. It has a large U-shaped rear dinette that comfortably seats two to four people and a tri-fold sofa for additional guest sleeping space.

But what I like most about this floorplan is the queen bed. Many new RVers underappreciate the value of a queen bed, as it creates more space to walk around the front bedroom. You’ll feel less cramped when you get ready in the morning and enjoy easy access to the side wardrobes and overhead storage compartments.

Forest River Wildwood 22RBS

chaise lounge in wildwood-22rbs travel trailer under 30 feet

Length: 26’11”
Dry Weight: 5,928 pounds
Cargo Capacity: 1,837 pounds

Favorite Feature: Chaise Lounge

If you’re looking for a unique feature, you’ve found it in the Wildwood 22RBS . The chaise lounge in the central living area is the perfect place to hang out with friends, cozy up with a book, or watch the big game. While this couple’s travel trailer is under 30 feet, it doesn’t feel cramped.

There’s also a removable table, an entertainment center with a fireplace, an oversized fridge, and a walk-in pantry. The rear bathroom and front bedroom are pretty standard for couple’s travel trailers this size, but the main living space is truly unique.

Keystone Coleman Lantern 25REX

Dry Weight: 6,270 pounds
Cargo Capacity: 1,496 pounds
Interior Height: 82”

Favorite Feature: Spacious Rear Entertainment Area

The Coleman Lantern 25REX offers a huge rear living area that’s perfect when you invite friends and family over. It’s also great for couples who enjoy movie nights or watching ball games. The entertainment center sits along the rear wall directly across from the theater seating.

Because of this spacious design, the kitchen doesn’t have as much counterspace as the others on this list. But you still have all the appliances and amenities you need for an enjoyable weekend camping trip. Plus, if you have a dog, this open area provides more room for you and your furry friend.

Jayco Jay Flight SLX 210QB

Length: 25’8”
Dry Weight: 4,195 pounds
Cargo Capacity: 1,305 pounds

Favorite Feature: Lightweight and Compact

The Jay Flight SLX 210QB is one of the few couple’s travel trailers under 30 feet with no slide-outs. is the. While this means a smaller interior space, it also means no slide malfunctions or problems. It also means a more lightweight camper. If you’re looking for a camper under 5,000 pounds , this is an excellent choice.

Despite the small space, I love how Jayco has included h a dinette and a sofa. By removing the wall separating the bedroom from the living space, Jayco creates a more open feel with this travel trailer’s floorplan.

The kitchen is very small, with only a tiny countertop beside the sink, but if you prefer to cook on your Blackstone or a campfire, you won’t mind the smaller space. And even though this travel trailer is less than 26 feet long, you still get a full bathroom.

What Is the Best Sized Travel Trailer for 2 People?

If you want a lightweight travel trailer for couples, you’ll likely want something 25-30 feet long. Campers of this length provide options for folks who want to tow with SUVs , smaller trucks, or heavy-duty pickups.

However, if your tow vehicle can handle the added weight, a travel trailer with a slide-out or two will offer more interior space. Even for a couple, this extra space makes your trailer feel more like a home.

What Is the Best Truck to Pull a 30-foot Travel Trailer?

When choosing a camper, you always want to stay comfortably within your vehicle’s towing capacity .

The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the total weight an RV can safely handle based on its axles and tire ratings. If the GVWR exceeds your vehicle’s towing capacity, you need to upgrade the vehicle or choose a lighter camper.

Having said that, many travel trailers under 30 feet weigh less than 8,000 pounds, and some weigh less than 6,000 pounds. The towing capacity of a light-duty truck like a Ford F150 or RAM 1500 maxes out around 10,000 pounds, on average. Some models offer more towing capacity, and others offer less. Your towing capacity will vary depending on the year, make, model, trim, and aftermarket upgrades for your specific truck.

Learn more about choosing a vehicle to tow your camper in this article!

Traveling couples don’t need as much space as a family of six. But you still want ample room to move about freely without bumping into each other. And if you want to entertain guests, you need extra space. These travel trailers may be under 30 feet long, but they don’t lack the amenities or appeal!

Here are a few more resources you can use to compare these couple’s travel trailers to other options:

Class B Motorhomes for Couples

‘Omni Loop’ Trailer: Ayo Edebiri and Mary-Louise Parker Unlock Quantum Physics in a Time Travel Comedy

“Groundhog Day,” but make it about an inescapable terminal illness. In writer/director Bernardo Britto’s “ Omni Loop ,” Mary-Louise Parker plays a quantum physicist who learns she has only a week to live. Except she learns that many times over, and as she says in the trailer, “This has happened before. Many times.” IndieWire shares the exclusive trailer for “Omni Loop,” which premiered at SXSW and will hit theaters from Magnolia this fall, below.

The cast also includes Hannah Pearl Utt, Chris Witaske, Carlos Jacott, Harris Yulin, Steven Maier, and Eddie Cahill.

At SXSW, Mary-Louise Parker was praised for carrying the heavier emotions of the movie as a woman faced with the totality of death. “Omni Loop” isn’t far from some of the “Weeds” star’s best stage work in that sense, from playing a mathematician struggling with mental illness in “Proof” or a terminally sick Ivy League professor who decides to take her own life in “The Sound Inside.” Except, of course, “Omni Loop” is also a sci-fi comedy, which means we have “The Bear” and “Bottoms” star Ayo Edebiri to help bring a comic lightness to the proceedings.

From IndieWire’s review out of SXSW : “Writer-director Bernardo Britto’s latest is one of those lo-fi sci-fi movies that weaves the impossible into the mundane texture of everyday life — which tracks with his previous work, which includes a tenure as a staff writer on ‘Los Espookys ‘ and the 2016 mockumentary ‘Jacqueline Argentine.'”

Magnolia Pictures will release “Omni Loop” in theaters and on digital September 20, 2024. Watch the exclusive trailer below.

Is Adam Sandler’s Live-Action Simpsons Movie Real? Trailer Explained

The new trailer on YouTube has reached 1.3 million views in just 7 days.

A trailer for a live-action movie based on The Simpsons , featuring Adam Sandler as Homer, has recently gone viral on social media and YouTube.

The YouTube channel Multiverse of AI released the trailer last week on August 8. Although the name of their channel should have hinted to viewers that the trailer might not be for a real project, speculation about a new film gained plenty of traction.

As previously mentioned, the trailer starred Sandler as the father figure, but it also included Kristen Wiig as Marge, Jacob Tremblay as Bart, and Young Sheldon ’s Mckenna Grace as Lisa.

The fake Just Go with It star also narrated the clip, describing each character in the show: Will Ferrell as Ned Flanders, Steve Buscemi as Montgomery Burns, John C. Reilly as Barney Gumble, Bill Hader as Reverend Timothy Lovejoy, and more. Even though fans couldn’t help but feel that these actors could portray these iconic characters well, the eerie, warping AI visuals—and the fact that most of the AI-created characters looked considerably younger than they are now—made this exact creation far from reality.

The trailer ended directly after introducing the characters. There was no mention of a release date or any producers involved with the film.

Will there be another Simpsons movie?

While Matt Groening , the creator of the Fox sitcom, has said he has “no doubts” that a second Simpsons movie—in its animated form—will happen, a sequel isn’t actively in the works right now.

In 2014, producer James L. Brooks said the team was “asked to [develop it].”

“But we haven’t. We’re doing a lot of other stuff.”

Al Jean later revealed that Season 26’s “The Man Who Came to Be Dinner,” where the family is transported to Kang and Kodos’ planet, was considered as the plot for a feature film.

Three years later, David Silverman told Entertainment Weekly : “I’d love for there to be another one. We’re still a ways away from it. We talk about this and that. “We’re thinking it over, but nothing’s happening just yet… it’s still daunting because it really knocked the stuffing out of us to do the movie and the show at the same time.”

In 2019, Groening told Comic-Con attendees: “No doubt there will be another Simpsons movie one of these days. I think Disney wants something for its money.” However, he warned: “This is a true answer. The first Simpsons Movie almost killed us.

“We didn’t have a B-team waiting to do The Simpsons Movie , so the same people who wrote, animated, voiced, and did the music for The Simpsons TV show also did the movie. That was in 2007. We’re almost recovered, almost.”

Co-showrunner Matt Selman further explained the challenges of making a movie rather than a new season to ComicBook in May 2024.

He described the stresses of making a movie as “much, much higher than a TV show,” explaining how making a Simpsons movie takes “about the same amount of work as 30 episodes” of The Simpsons .

“But a new ‘ Simpsons’ movie would be amazing. We just need the right idea and a billion hours to make it great” he added.

Jamie Lee Curtis reveals Freakier Friday features 'monster hit' song performed by Lindsay Lohan

Curtis tells EW that the song "is going to be the anthem song of the movie," while Lohan confirms there's "more physical comedy" in the Disney sequel.

Lindsay Lohan might have another "Ultimate" pop-rock hit on her... or... uh... Jamie Lee Curtis ' hands in the upcoming body-swapping sequel Freakier Friday .

The 2003 Freaky Friday actresses tell Entertainment Weekly at Disney 's D23 convention that the upcoming Nisha Ganatra-directed continuation of the comedy smash indeed features new music, after the prior film included memorable guitar-driven hits performed by the in-movie band Pink Slip, fronted by Anna (Lohan) and other returning stars Christina Vidal and Haley Hudson .

"Things get crazier now," Lohan, 38, tells EW of the movie's plot at the Anaheim, Calif.-based convention, where she and Curtis, 65, who plays Anna's mother, Tess, appeared together on stage at the city's Honda Center arena to reveal new details about the highly anticipated sequel.

Later, Curtis adds: "I'm telling you right now, this one played a song last night at the Wiltern [theater in Los Angeles] and it is in my ear like one of those Star Trek earworms. I'm telling you, it's going to be a monster hit. I'm not going to tell you what it's called because we're in the middle of making it, but there are some old favorites played in this movie."

Walt Disney/courtesy Everett Collection; Jesse Grant/Getty

Lohan confirms that the movie brings "some things back" from the prior installment, while Curtis doubles down on the "fantastic" new tune that she thinks "is going to be the anthem song of the movie." Lohan also teases that the song holds emotional weight for her, as she "can relate to the song" on a deeper level beyond the movie's narrative. Her assessment follows her recent return to music in general, as she dropped new pop material ("Back to Me" in 2020) and a soundtrack tune ( "Jingle Bell Rock" from 2022's Falling for Christmas ) after releasing two successful solo albums in the early aughts.

Despite Freakier Friday 's emotional center, Lohan says "the switches are definitely freakier" than they were in the first movie, with Curtis agreeing that the tone is "way freakier" when it comes to supernatural body-switching this time around.

"Anna is grown up now. She has a teenage daughter, so there's a lot going on in that relationship. Although Anna has calmed down a bit since she was a teenager," Lohan explains of the "freakier and funnier" movie. It further pushes her to new heights when it comes to using her body for comedic effect.

"There's more physical comedy in this. Much more than the original. I love that. Put up a glass door and let me fake walk into it. Where do I get to trip?" Lohan jokes.

At heart, "there's a lot of love in it. Love and loss," Lohan admits, noting that it will go deeper in terms of exploring mother-daughter relationships than people are expecting. "It's a movie about life. And the first movie was about love and loss and life, and this is just freakier. It's more loving, more emotional," Curtis adds.

Earlier this year, EW obtained audition sides for Freakier Friday (including eight unverified script pages) that included plot details involving Anna (now with a 14-year-old daughter of her own) and Tess switching bodies with two teenage girls.

Besides Lohan, Curtis, Vidal, and Hudson, Chad Michael Murray , Mark Harmon , Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao also return for the sequel, with new additions to the cast including Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 's Julia Butters , Sophia Hammons ( Under Wraps ), Never Have I Ever star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan , and Manny Jacinto ( The Good Place and The Acolyte ), whom EW confirmed will play Anna's husband .

Freakier Friday is scheduled to hit theaters in 2025. Watch Lohan and Curtis discuss the sequel with EW in the video above.

See the Fantastic Four and the Red Hulk in Marvel’s leaked D23 MCU trailers

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs.

Marvel has had an amazing few weeks, starting with the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere in late July. The movie received great reviews from critics and fans. It also topped $1 billion at the box office after just three weeks. Following the premiere, Kevin Feige unveiled the new title for Avengers 5 : Doomsday . That’s when we also learned that Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom rather than Iron Man.

That footage was private and was only meant for people in attendance, but the clips that Marvel played during the event have leaked online. You can see more of the Fantastic Four in action and our first look at the villain. Then there’s Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) in his new suit for Captain America 4 . Not to mention the Red Hulk (Harrison Ford) reveal at the end of that clip. None of these are spoilers, of course.

But if you want to avoid MCU spoilers at any cost, including the trailers themselves, you’ll want to stop reading right now.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps

It gives us a look at all four superheroes in official uniforms, well, the uniforms they’re wearing on their trip to space. Is it space, however? The entire action takes place in what seems to be the late ’60s. The Fantastic Four aren’t superheroes yet. Instead, they’re a family of scientists exploring an unknown destination.

The clip starts with Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) discussing alternate realities. Universes, just like Earth, exist on different dimensional planes. That’s probably the breakthrough discovery that will lead to a space-like expedition.

At the end of the clip, we also get a brief look at Galactus, the villain of Marvel’s Fantastic Four reboot. The reboot will premiere on July 25th, 2025, almost a year after Deadpool & Wolverine .

Captain America: Brave New World

We already saw the first trailer for Captain America 4 a few weeks before the Deadpool 3 premiere. The clip confirmed some early Brave New World rumors. We saw Sam in his new uniform, plenty of action, and we saw Ford’s President Ross. We also got the first teaser of the big mystery left from Eternals , the dead celestial in the Indian Ocean.

Moreover, President Ross now believes the world needs the Avengers, tasking Sam with assembling a new group of superheroes. He has changed his mind since the events in Civil War , or it’s all just a political ploy. Then again, President Ross wouldn’t be here without the Avengers, and he knows that.

It is unclear what motivated the attacks on the White House and President Ross. We’ll have to wait for the movie to come out to find out. But all this context is required to understand where the Red Hulk shows up. President Ross is speaking at the White House when he’s attacked. He must have been injected with some sort of serum beforehand, as he transforms into the Red Hulk right then and there.

Captain America: Brave New World hits theaters on February 14th. Check out the D23 footage below.
