Best Towing RV Trailers 2024

So many people want to travel the world but haven’t even experienced the wonders their country offers. Being able to travel without the hassle of stepping foot inside a frenzied airport sounds like a dream.

With the perfect travel trailer, you can go wherever you want without dealing with all the negatives of traveling: just you, your loved ones, and the open road in front of you. The travel trailers you find today are nothing like the ones our grandparents used to have.

They look fantastic and, depending on the size you’re looking for, they have all the storage space and luxuries you can find, making you feel you never left home, no matter where you are.

Today you also find that you have many more options than a couple of years ago. It will all depend on what you as an individual are looking for in a travel trailer and what style you want. You can choose the classic aluminum Airstream, or you can go for a more luxury camper; look no further than the Living Vehicle or Oliver travel trailers.

For those who prefer 4x4, there’s a trailer for you; incredible off-road travel trailers that can handle any terrain your 4x4 can. Worried about work while you are away? No need; there’s even a trailer you can turn into a mobile office to get the perfect work-life balance sorted.

Let’s take you through some of the best travel trailer brands on the market. So please sit back, relax, and let’s get this journey started.

Considerations When Choosing Your Travel Trailer

There are many aspects to consider when looking at some of the best travel trailer brands, like the size, interior layout, amenities, being able to go off the grid, and if you want to take it off-road.

All of that is important, but probably the most critical aspect is the trailer's exterior. Most of the study needs to go in here.

When looking at a travel trailer, you need to pick one with thicker walls for more insulation. It will protect you from the elements so you can camp in various weather, whether sunshine or snow.

The thicker walls of the travel trailers will be made from fiberglass because it is a durable material instead of just aluminum. The problem with aluminum is that it can succumb to corroding or rusting over time.

Apart from the exterior, the best trailers on the market are built with a heavier and stronger frame. It makes the trailer resistant to bending and dents that (may nothing like this ever happen to anyone) can happen if an accident occurs.

We know the trailer's look is essential, but it’s not always the case. Some of the best trailers out there might not be appealing to the eye. However, as time passes, you will probably see more trailers built to last generations that look stunning.

It’s essential to remember that you have to look at durability first before you look at the overall look and style of the trailer. You don’t want to buy something you must keep getting fixed on the road or at home. Remember, it is an investment.

What’s The Best Material For Travel Trailers?

We touched base on the two materials that can be used on the exterior of a trailer. Now, let us go into more detail and explain what makes fiberglass and aluminum unique and why it’s the two most popular materials to use on a trailer.

Looking at which material to buy will depend on a few things. Aluminum is cheaper and lighter than fiberglass but won’t last as long. The other problem you have, like mentioned above, is the corrosion and rust that comes with aluminum, especially when it stands outside for most of its life.

Yes, fiberglass will be more costly, but the years it will last makes it all worth it.

Fiberglass is wonderfully resistant against different weather, especially the rain. Water can damage your trailer, especially when you have places where water can find a way into your trailer. Luckily because of the way fiberglass trailers are made, you won’t be having that problem!

What’s exceptional about fiberglass is the various design styles you can choose from; with fiberglass, you have an endless array of different colors and patterns. And it will stay like that if well maintained.

Now we’re not telling you to go straight for fiberglass camping trailers because as time passes, more aluminum trailers come out with the same strength standard as fiberglass, and some aluminum trailers look great.

What you need to decide is what will work best for you; doing your research and talking to various trailer owners will assist you in making the best decision.

Top-Rated Travel Trailer Brands

Airstream Globetrotter

Speaking of aluminum, first, we will look at probably the most recognizable luxury camper. The aluminum-sided trailer is iconic in the US for the decades of road trips, solidifying its mark in the travel industry.

The Globetrotter offers you a beautiful-looking trailer with maximum comfort for the whole family, but if space is something you’re concerned about, might we suggest the Classic?

What makes the Classic so unique is the option for the various floor plans to sleep up to four adults.

Inside this particular trailer, you’ll find only the top-rated amenities, stainless steel appliances, numerous LED TVs, and the Quietstream climate system to keep your Airstream perfect in any weather. Not to mention a full kitchen, dedicated shower, half bathroom, and a built-in canopy when you are having some fun in the sun.

This trailer is perfect for anyone looking for that nostalgic road trip feeling with that touch of luxury.

Bowlus Endless Highways Performance Edition

Even though the Bowlus isn’t as famous as the Airstream, we still believe this is a travel trailer brand one should watch. Bowlus didn’t want to go the same route as the Airstream exterior, so they gave us the first riveted body for a trailer but kept to the traditional aluminum.

The company was brought back to life in 2014, but they knew they wanted to keep the same look of trailers as what they produced back in 1930. So, you will find the traditional exterior with a beautiful Birchwood interior for that touch of elegance.

The company also didn’t skip giving you all the conveniences a traveler in 2022 would want and need. Despite the $225,000 price tag that comes with it, once you step inside, you’ll understand why.

You have all the appliances, an air conditioner, and a Wi-Fi modem for those nights you want to Netflix and chill. Are you deciding to go somewhere completely remote? Don’t worry; with lithium iron phosphate available, you can live off the grid for at least two weeks in absolute harmony with nature.

Lastly, we can’t forget those who have pets traveling on the road, because why do you want to leave them at home?

The Terra Firma travel trailer is specially designed for you; it has built-in food bowls, a comfortable bed for your pet, and even a temperature control system to keep them living their best life.

Bruder EXP-6

If you are someone who loves going 4x4 but are tired of nights spent in a tent, then here is the solution for you. The Bruder EXP-6 is the perfect mix between rough and modern with a price tag of $68,000.

Although it looks like one of those combat vehicles you’ll see in the movies, this Australian-made trailer comes standard with the heavy-duty suspension to allow you to travel through almost any terrain. As far as the inside goes, you’ll find an incredible array of amenities to give you the most relaxing weekend away.

The Bruder EXP-6 provides you with a full bathroom, a queen-size bed, and if that’s not enough, a slide-out kitchen and adjustable roof turn this four sleeper into a six sleeper trailer.

Understandably, you want to spend as much time in nature as possible, but snuggling up and watching your favorite shows on the flat-screen TV is sometimes just as unique. It is all powered by roof-mounted solar panels.

Oh, and did we mention the climate control system with air conditioning?

Living Vehicle

Most of us have seen the trend that’s going around where people are downsizing their lifestyle to achieve more freedom. One such person has decided to take that as motivation and not only do it himself, but design a special trailer for anyone who wants to take on that lifestyle.

Matthew Hoffman’s Living Vehicle is more than just a holiday trailer; it’s a trailer you can call home. The trailer offers you the duplicate square footage as a standard New York-style apartment but at a fraction of the price, only $230,000.

All the appliances and fittings are top-rated, with solar panels for off-the-grid living.

If that is not enough, every trailer is fully customizable, because everyone has a different idea of what the inside of a home should be.

Tabbert Cellini Slide-Out

These travel trailers might not look like much on the outside, but once you open the door, it feels like stepping onto a four-star hotel, with the bonus of the slide-outs giving you a full-size kitchen and living space, a spacious bedroom with a queen-size bed, and loads of living area.

The entire interior is the perfect balance between wood and steel, which gives you the feeling of ultimate luxury.

With a stunning price tag of $83,425, this trailer has something for everyone and not to mention, ample space for you to enjoy your holiday in comfort.

Escapod Topo 2

If you are someone who wants to experience the joys of camping with none of the fuss of setting up a tent, then the Escapod Topo 2 is something you will love. Coming from the classic teardrop look, you find these elegant yet rugged camping trailers are ready to take on any off-road challenge you want.

The fiberglass exterior is weather resistant and the tube steel frame will have you holding onto this trailer for years to come. The trailer's interior differs somewhat from the other travel trailer brands we’ve mentioned, as the bedroom and kitchen are separate.

The bedroom can accommodate a queen-size mattress and has ample storage space, with a window dedicated to watching the stars at night. The kitchen is only accessible outside with enough space for meal prepping and cooking.

The VPR 4EVER lithium-ion battery powers the trailer, and solar panels are added to keep things running smoothly for maximum efficiency. It is the perfect couples' trailer to spend a weekend away from everything and enjoy each other’s company in the great outdoors.

Retreat Cabin and OzXcorp’s ERV

When the electric revolution started with the car manufacturers, it was only a matter of time before it headed towards travel trailers.

This rugged travel trailer is bringing together beauty with off-the-grid living. The solar panels mounted on the trailer's roof provide power to the 14.3-kWh lithium battery. They are running all the appliances in the trailer, making it self-sufficient.

With a budget of only $75,000, this trailer has it all: a full-size kitchen, a main bedroom with a king-size bed, a washing machine, and an electric Weber for those summer night barbecues outside.

That’s not all; for those who like to go off-roading, this camper will handle it perfectly with its all-terrain tires and finely tuned suspension.

Eriba Touring 820

So you’ve looked around for a travel trailer, and you like the Airstream; the problem is your budget doesn’t allow it.

Well, we’ve got the solution to all your problems. The Eriba Touring 820 comes in at $88,500, and this aluminum-sided exterior trailer offers more than just an incredible price tag.

They packed these camping trailers with everything you need for the perfect getaway.

With its impressive 27-foot long full kitchen, lounge area with leather sofa, modern bathroom, and bedroom with panoramic views of your surroundings, this hotel is on wheels.

If you want the top-of-range budget-friendly trailer, you don’t have to look any further; the sheer beauty of this trailer will have you packing your bags every weekend for a fun-filled getaway with family or friends.

Land Ark Drake

Probably the biggest trailer we have on this list, because this travel trailer is more of a house than a trailer. At 347-square feet and two levels high, this beauty can sleep seven people and have all the comfortable living space of a small home.

The only difference and benefit of this trailer are the wheels, meaning you can drive it anywhere.

The exterior has a minimalist, sleek black look with an equally stylish and modern white, black, and wooden interior—all coming together with luxury amenities.

With a price of $139,000, it might sound steep, but where will you get a two-story house for that price with this style? You might want to know that this is also the only trailer with a bathtub on this list.

This travel trailer is perfect for someone who wants to live on the road for long stretches at a time, or who wants to downsize their home and live in this permanently.

Polydrops P17A

We’ve gone over a trailer incorporating the new electric trend, but what about when you have an electric vehicle? You won’t be able to pull a standard trailer with an EV, and this trailer is exactly what you need.

The teardrop shape makes it look like a space shuttle, and the light weight- 1,200 pounds to be exact- won’t be a problem for any EV, whether it’s a car, truck, or SUV.

What helps to reduce the weight and, in turn, the stress on your vehicle, the company added a lithium-ion phosphate power system which is powered by the solar panel attached. The pod itself has a full-size bed and climate control system.

Outside you have a kitchenette with ample space to prepare and cook meals. The power system has sufficient power for you to go off-grid for at least six days.

Colorado Teardrops Boulder

We are continuing with the EV-friendly trend. The next American-made trailer is tailor-made and built to last for generations to enjoy.

With the superior exterior and three-layer insulation, you’ve got a trailer that you can take from your summer vacation to a ski holiday.

Don’t be fooled by its size; the queen-sized mattress with two bunk beds provides enough room for two adults, two kids, and your four-legged friend to sleep comfortably. The kitchen is enclosed with more than enough counter and storage space.

We saved the best for last; these travel trailers are light enough for your battery-powered truck or SUV to pull, and it also has off-road capabilities and the luxury of powering your SUV or truck.

The 75-kWh lithium-ion battery will give you the peace of mind to plan your trip around the best scenic areas, not focusing on areas with power stations.

Hunter Nature Raptor XC

A big camping travel trailer can be fantastic as you have loads of space; the problem arises when you have to tow the trailer.

Some people may find it difficult, and parking can take some time. Luckily for those individuals, we’ve got something special to share. The Hunter Nature Raptor XC might look like a compact trailer, easy to tow and set up, but it has a secret for your benefit.

A pull-out section doubles the travel trailer's size, with space for a full-size bed. You have a lovely kitchen, bathroom, and lounge/dining area, which can become a comfortable sleeping area when traveling with more than two people.

Coming in at $44,000, this travel trailer has a dedicated aluminum wastewater tank and a freshwater tank assessable from the exterior. Having the capabilities to go off-road, you don’t have to stress about power due to the added mobile solar system of 160W.

Enjoy the sunrise and sunset wherever you are with the four skylights throughout the trailer.

Taxa Mantis

Finding the perfect travel trailer is like finding the ideal house; it’s not always possible.

With the Taxa Mantis, you can be sure it will fit almost anyone’s style. It comes with a no-nonsense design, meaning it has a rugged look with a touch of class.

This trailer has everything you need for a beautiful getaway with family or friends; a full kitchen, bathroom with a built-in shower, water heater, and an 8,000 BTU air conditioning for those summer days when you need to cool off.

The company built this camper to use every space with loads of storage space. They've got the Overland edition if you decide you want something more rugged.

This camper is specially designed with its all-terrain tires, a lock-n-holl hitch that gives you 360 degrees of rotation with regards to towing capacity, and an axle-less design—giving you a smooth ride even through harsh terrain.

Happier Camper HC1 Studio

For many people, taking a trip with a travel trailer can be daunting because they don’t have the right vehicle. Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to buy a tow vehicle to go camping?

You’re in luck because the guys at Happier Camper have the solution for you.

The Los Angeles-based company designed this travel trailer to be towed by practically every car with a dry weight of 1,500 pounds.

Once you step inside, you’ll be amazed at everything they managed to fit in there. With a full kitchen powered by propane, you can cook your meals in the comfort of your trailer; convenience is key.

An added sink to wash up afterward and a drawer fridge to keep everything fresh. That’s not all; you have a private bathroom with a dry flush toilet and shower.

The remarkable aspect about the dry flush toilet is that you don’t have to worry about maintaining a black water tank or plumbing; the waste bags you receive are simply disposable.

You can move the components around like LEGO to go from a lovely seating area with a table to a queen-size bed for a great night’s rest. With a built-in canopy, you can enjoy the outside, and because you can remove the Adaptiv components, you won’t have to worry about a table or seating; you can pop them outside.

This travel trailer is perfect for solo travelers or couples who want a lovely romantic weekend away or to take a cross-country trip. Being solar power ready, you can enjoy the great outdoors off the grid.

Tesla Cybertruck Travel Trailer

This is an interesting one, but no design has been finalized as yet. Elon Musk did, however, reveal that they are busy developing a matching trailer for the Cybertruck.

As one can only imagine what Elon Musk will come up with after seeing the Cybertruck, it will probably resemble something one can use in outer space.

We can only speculate that it will have top-rate amenities with strong solar and batteries to power the entire trailer.

So, if you’re considering buying a Cybertruck, hopefully soon, you will also be able to add a trailer to the package.

What Do The Best Trailer Brands Have In Common?

When looking at some of the best travel trailer brands on the market, you’ll see they all have the same qualities. Let us take a look at what are some of these qualities they possess.

Customer Service

We can all agree that excellent customer service is crucial in any industry. When deciding on what travel trailer to buy, you probably have a thousand questions running through your mind.

A company that will answer those questions with dedication and patience is a wonderful quality to have. Not to mention that once you buy the trailer, you might have to take some time to figure everything out; during this time, customer service becomes essential to assist you.

Reliable

It's always best to go for a well-known and trusted brand that uses the highest-quality components in its travel trailers.

They will limit the possibility of something breaking and you having to stop and fix it. Some of the best brands put emphasis on the reliability they offer customers.

Affordability

We all love it when we see a cheap product, because affordability is something we are always on the lookout for. The problem comes when you are looking for a travel trailer, and in this case, cheaper doesn’t mean better.

Travel trailers have become inexpensive because of mass production. It’s great for the company that sells them. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the quality. If you are looking for a trailer, you’ll be best off looking for one with a higher price tag.

Quality Materials

We just mentioned quality. When companies decide to cut corners on quality to produce more trailers, it is only a matter of time before customers start noticing it.

Unfortunately, that only happens after the sale is made. We would suggest, before buying any trailer, go through the interior and exterior.

Open the cabinets, lift the bed, and open the faucets even if water isn’t coming out.

The more you walk through the trailer to ensure everything works perfectly, the less chance you will have of something going wrong. Because if they used low-quality materials, you’d be able to tell when you poke around.

How Long Will My Towing Trailer Last?

You usually want to buy something that will last for generations to come. Depending on how often you decide to use your trailer, it should last you from 15 to 20 years.

Some manufacturers will offer you a warranty on repairs for up to three years after you buy your new investment. It is something to help buyers sleep at night and plays in well with the quality customer service we spoke about.

The brands we mentioned in this article all have similar and unique qualities; otherwise, all the trailers would look the same, which sounds quite boring. Nevertheless, these brands produce some of the best quality travel trailers with great resell value; more later.

Specifying the exact number of years your trailer will last is difficult, so take the above-mentioned as a rough estimate. It will all depend on how well you look after the trailer and how well you take care of it as the years go on.

The best option is to research what the trailer will cost you down the line after a couple of years of owning it, like maintenance repairs, for example.

Do You Want To Sell Your Travel Trailer?

Most trailer owners will want to upgrade over a couple of years, and this can be for various reasons. However, one aspect will stay the same: they would like a reasonable resale price on their current trailer.

It would be best if you always kept this in mind when buying a travel trailer, as it can influence your decisions in the future. Maybe you have to relocate to another country and won’t be able to take your camper with you.

With a high resale value, you can use that money to invest in your new journey.

It doesn’t matter if you decide on aluminum or fiberglass; it also depends on your brand; some brands have a reputation that people can relate to or not.

When deciding to buy something with a good resale value, consider any one of the five listed below:

• Airstream
• Tabbert Celline Slide-out
• Bruder EXP-6
• Happier Camper HC1 Studio
• Bowlus Endless Highways Performance Edition

Every one of these five companies makes high-quality trailers with high-quality exteriors and interiors, leaving you with an excellent investment to sell if you wish to do so in the future.

Final Thoughts

So we end with some of the best travel trailers in the business. Every brand has loyal fans living the RV lifestyle, which is why some have been around for decades.

The information given to you is only a part of the final piece of the puzzle; you must still go and do independent research and look for what will fit you the best. Visit some dealerships, speak to trailer owners, and sign up for forums for RV news.

It is an investment that will last you for years to come and enjoy; that’s why you should be particular in your decision.

Buying a travel trailer might be expensive, but the quality time you spend with family and friends is priceless.
