Lightweight travel trailers are smaller in size, but they are packed full of perks. The reduced weight affects the RV travel experience in many positive ways, which we discuss below.

1. Get Better Access to Camping Spots
Owners of lightweight travel trailers can pick from a wider range of destination options, for two reasons.
First, lightweight travel trailers can be taken on routes that large RVs can’t access. For example, they can fit on width-restricted roads and go through narrow gate openings. It’s easy to reach those “hidden gem” campgrounds or adventures when you are traveling with a smaller camper and a smaller tow vehicle.
Second, these RVs can park in spots that others couldn’t. A campground may have all the large camping spots reserved, but you can still visit thanks to your lightweight travel being able to fit into a smaller space. In some cases, the smaller spots also provide a better view or proximity to the campground amenities.
2. Get More Tow Vehicle Options
Some towable RVs can only be transported with a large pickup truck. Not so with lightweight travel trailers! Many models can be towed by small trucks, SUVs, and even mini vans.
3. Spend Less Money
Most lightweight travel trailers will cost $15,000 or less. Get the RV lifestyle you want, but without breaking the bank. These models still offer the needed essentials for overnight stays, such as a bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen. Many also include standard features found on larger RVs, such as a television and roof-mounted A/C unit. Some can even accommodate large groups of up to 10 people!
In other words, lightweight travel trailers offer an affordable way to enjoy comfortable and fun RV adventures.
4. Enjoy an Easy Towing Experience
Most lightweight travel trailers weigh 1,200 pounds or less. They also tend to be between 12 and 14 feet long. This more compact design improves the towing experience in a few ways.
First, accelerating and braking can happen faster because there’s less RV weight to either slow down or bring up to speed.
Second, corners are easier because there’s less weight to fight during a turn.
Third, these RVs usually sport a more aerodynamic design, which leads to decreased drag and increased control for the driver.
All of these benefits make it easier to tackle long drives, navigate winding routes, stop for groceries, and even back into a campsite. A big part of a road trip is the time spent towing an RV. Lightweight travel trailers help keep that time stress-free.
