What’s the Difference Between a Camper and a Travel Trailer?
Camper trailers are the most affordable option if you have a limited budget. Watch the video below to see an impressive high-end model. These trailers are much cheaper than caravans, are easier to transport, and don’t affect your gas mileage as much. But do they have all you need? Let’s take a closer look. Which one would you choose, and why?
Bathrooms
Space-conscious camping has revolutionized the way people view bathrooms in their campers and travel trailers. Instead of gas-guzzling Class A RVs, space-conscious campers are now purchasing compact, lightweight Class B rigs. Bathrooms in these vehicles can make or break the space-constrained rig. Separate bathrooms occupy valuable space that could have been used to store camping gear, or to sleep two more people.
Built-in generator
If you’re going to be boondocking a lot, you’ll want to check to make sure your camper or travel trailer has a built-in generator. Although most campgrounds have an electrical hookup available, it is possible to find yourself in an area without electricity. In such cases, a portable generator can be a great option. You can also find used travel trailers with a portable generator.
Storage boxes
Storage boxes for campers can help you organize and keep your belongings safe. The triangular storage container has a volume of six feet and can be mounted to the trailer’s tongue. This box is made of polymer plastic and features a durable double-walled lid with lockable latch. It weighs less than one hundred and fifteen pounds and can be easily transported.
Durability
You shouldn’t trust just any brand of campervan or travel trailer. There are several things to look for before you purchase one, including how durable it is. Campers and travel trailers are generally not as durable as they advertise. This means that they could have more problems than expected. Poorly constructed travel trailers may not last as long or may have dents and scratches that prevent them from functioning properly.
Cost
Travel trailers and campers can be very expensive so it is important to compare prices. Some travel trailers are cheaper than others, and some are more expensive. For example, Airstream trailers are usually shorter and more expensive due to the high-quality materials they are made from. You’ll pay more for luxurious trailers if you want the best comfort.
