There is a big disappointment when you want to get a small camper but you realize that lightweight travel trailers compatible with your truck are very scarce. The problem is not the diversity of models but the weight, since most of the existing designs are too heavy to get pulled by a car or a pick-up truck. A closer analysis of the market offer will show you that even the RV companies no matter if we are talking about rental companies or dealers are reluctant to purchase lightweight travel trailers to keep them on stock. The reasoning for such a sales policy is very simple: these RVs are not that much in demand on the market, and therefore it is not efficient to keep them in stock.

Incidentally, if anybody collects diecast vehicles or cars, there are some extremely nice model camp trailers to be found if you look around.

The problem with some used travel trailers for sale is the bathroom, since all the plumbing adds to the overall weight of the vehicle, not to mention that the ceiling has to be higher. 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 the individual choices and preferences. In terms of size, the interior of lightweight travel trailers is not larger than a small or medium-sized bedroom in the best of cases, which is between ten and twelve feet. Such lightweight travel trailers would do for a couple, but not for a family. The various models come ready furnished from factory with basic appliances including a stove and a microwave, with a very simple bathroom, with or without shower.

The amenities included as well as the overall features of the vehicle determine the price for used and new lightweight travel trailers; the price often reaches $10,000 or somewhere around this figure. The year of manufacture and the technical inspection remain key points to check when you want to purchase a second-hand recreational vehicle. In the absence of a dealer in your local area, you can always try the Internet for more comprehensive resources. Always go through updated databases, otherwise you may be looking at items that are no longer in stock.
