Our helpful sales staff will not only answer all of your questions but be able to make helpful recommendations based on your preferences.

Your Vehicle 

While buying a new travel trailer is exciting, it’s important to consider the logistics of your purchase. For example, you need to take into account the limitations of your tow vehicle. While you might prefer a larger trailer, your car or truck may not be able to handle the weight of your new rig. Your vehicle will also need a sturdy hitch to attach your trailer to, and you may need to have one installed if your current hitch isn’t up for the job. 

Size 

If you’ve got a pretty heavy-duty towing vehicle, you can shop for any size trailer you like! Travel trailers are some of the most versatile RVs on the market and come in a wide range of sizes. However, it’s important to remember that the larger your model is, the more expensive it will be. If you’re looking for a trailer with more luxurious amenities included, or plan to travel with quite a few passengers, this higher price tag may be worth it. However, if you’re more interested in camping with your trailer, or don't need much space, a smaller model is likely the better choice. 

Cost

While these RVs are affordable, it’s still important that you have a budget set before arriving at your dealership. A pre-set budget will not only keep you from falling into debt but should also make it easier to choose between a few select models. To avoid accidentally overspending on your trailer, be sure to tell your salesperson that you’d like to look at models within a certain price range.
