Kids are heading back to school, the leaves are all beginning to change colors, and the long evenings spent lounging leisurely outdoors have given way to hectic schedules.

Unfortunately, for many, getting an actual bus style RV to travel about the country in style is out of the question. The cost in staggering, the maintenance is expensive and most require the driver to have special driver’s licenses.

However, having a recreational vehicle for camping is still attainable. This is where travel trailers or fifth wheels come into play. Each has it own advantages and disadvantages. Let’s take a look at few of them.

Travel trailers are extremely popular in the RV world. As a matter of fact, they actually comprise around 80% of all Travel Trailers Utah sold. They are immensely popular for a number of reasons, including:

Wide range of tow vehicles – For the most part, you can tow just about any travel trailer you’re your everyday vehicle, assuming it has more than 4 cylinders and a tow hitch. Of course, you need to review the towing capacity of your vehicle and the weight of the trailer you choose. This makes it ideal for weekend warrior campers as well as those looking for a way to travel around the country on a more permanent basis and want to have the convenience of an everyday vehicle for exploration purposes.
