Family Tree - The Full Time Rv'er and Travel Trailers

Travel trailers are one of the most popular rv's going. They date back to the very early days of rv travel and have grown and blossomed with the industry.A travel trailer is a trailer that is hitched to the rear of the tow vehicle instead of a hitch in the bed of a pickup. Travel trailers range in size from a tiny 13 feet to 35 feet plus. They come in many forms from the compact folding tent trailer to the full size unit with multiple slide outs. Sleeping arrangements often include bunk beds to accommodate the entire family. The folding tent trailer offers a lot of living space in a very compact form. These are usually canvas sided with a large pull out bed at each end. At the top end, they offer bathrooms with shower, hot water heaters and full galley for food preparation. The simpler versions are often sized small enough to pull behind a touring motorcycle. The Hybrid travel trailer is a combination of the folding tent trailer and a standard hard sided trailer. A hybrid travel trailer has the folding pullout bed of a tent trailer on one or more ends. This adds greatly to the usable living space in the interior while still maintaining a compact package to tow. Also found in this branch of the travel trailer family tree is the hard sided folding trailer. These compact trailers expand upward to become a full sized travel trailer when set up in camp. Most travel trailers are the standard hard sided one or two axle units. These trailers are immensely popular with families because of low initial cost, ease of towing and lots of sleeping accommodations. Whether you are traveling alone or with a large family, you can find a travel trailer in your price range to meet your rv travel needs.
