If you’ve spent any time analyzing recreational vehicles, then you know just how varied the market is. Some people prefer to have more mobility and freedom to roam, so they opt for a small camper to tow, but other people may want something much more permanent that still has the option for movement if desired. That’s why the destination trailer was created!
Destination trailers are a fairly recent RV development, but they’ve become extremely popular. Keep reading to learn more!
What Are Destination Trailers?
Let’s begin with a more thorough definition of what a destination trailer is. A destination trailer is a tiny home built onto a trailer bed. In some ways, it resembles a standard trailer, with holding tanks for water and a narrow interior. The holding tanks and power hook-ups allow you to live in your destination trailer off-grid if you so desire.
However, most people who own destination trailers opt to live in a mobile home park or other place that permits them to hook their trailers up to municipal sewer, water and power supplies. Destination trailers can be moved with a large truck, but they aren’t designed to move from place to place every day or every week. Instead, they are meant to stay in one place at a time for many months or years.
How Are They Different From Other RVs?
A destination trailer differs from other RVs in a few crucial ways. First, as noted above, they’re too large to move around a lot without doing damage to them or sucking up tons of gasoline. Destination trailers aren’t aerodynamically designed or built to withstand the rigors of the road in the same way that a camper is.
This trait does allow destination trailers to be much larger than RVs, with more residential-style features like kitchen islands, full-sized appliances, solid-surface countertops, hardwood cabinets and big glass windows. You’ll get at least one, if not more, private bedrooms, and sometimes a loft with extra sleeping space.
Destination trailers also have more room inside than a typical RV, with high ceiling clearances to allow taller residents to feel more comfortable. There are often slide-outs to expand interior space once you’ve parked your destination trailer where you want it to be.
