Why Buy a Travel Trailer?

If you’re browsing through different types of recreational vehicles and feeling like you have no idea what you’re looking for, you’re not alone. The RV world is big and there are a lot of options. You may be confused as to what the differences between the various models are or which ones you should be considering.

Here at Mattas Marine & RV, we’d like to direct your attention to travel trailers. Travel trailers are easy to use, compact, and still give you all the comfort you want from a camper. We’ve listed our favorite reasons for owning a travel trailer, but don’t take our word for it. Stop by our location in Grand Junction, CO, to check out some of the models on our lot.

Wide Selection

Travel trailers have one of the widest selections of models, meaning no matter what your budget is or what you’re looking for in your travel trailer, you’ll find the perfect fit. They also come in a wide range of sizes, capable of holding 3-10 passengers. And while most won’t be as luxurious as a fifth wheel, there are plenty of models with all the latest amenities on the market. Whether you want something simple or something a little fancier, you’ll find a travel trailer that fits your needs.

Leave it Behind

Because it’s a towable RV, you have the option of unhitching your travel trailer somewhere and running errands in your tow vehicle. It makes for a much easier way to get to the store and back without the hassle of towing the camper. It saves time and gas money and means the family can stay behind while you’re out and about.

Less Maintenance

Travel trailers are generally smaller and without an engine, they’re easier to maintain. Trips to the mechanic aren’t nearly as expensive or time-consuming if they happen at all. In fact, the majority of maintenance and fixes you can do yourself.

Price Tag

Depending on the type of travel trailer you get, they can be much cheaper than other types of recreational vehicles. Plus, they still feature all the essential amenities and their slimmer frame makes them easier to tow. On top of that, you’ll save money on hotels and plane tickets if you bring along your home away from home. You’ll spend less on gas because of easier towing and better fuel efficiency. And less maintenance means less money spent on repairs.

Towability

Travel trailers are surprisingly easy to tow. Firstly, because of the way the hitch is situated, you don’t have to buy a pickup truck to tow a travel trailer. As long as your vehicle is capable of hauling the weight of your trailer, you can use it as a tow vehicle. Also, their small stature and lightweight frame make them a breeze to haul, although we recommend practicing if you’ve never towed before. It will be easier to navigate, which will come in handy when you’re trying to park, turn, or back up. It’s a great place to start if you’ve never towed a vehicle before.

There are many advantages to choosing a travel trailer as your first recreational vehicle and we’ve just skimmed the surface.
