Vehicles designed for recreational travel, characterized by their minimal weight (specifically, below 2000 pounds), represent a distinct segment of the RV market. These trailers facilitate easier towing, typically by smaller vehicles like SUVs and some cars, as opposed to requiring large trucks. A prime example includes models featuring a minimalist design, focusing on essential amenities to reduce overall mass.
The value of these trailers lies in their enhanced fuel efficiency during travel and decreased strain on the towing vehicle. Historically, heavier, larger trailers were the norm, but a growing desire for more accessible and economical travel options fueled the development of lighter alternatives. This shift broadens accessibility, enabling a wider range of individuals and vehicles to partake in RV travel and camping.
