Specifications Definitions

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) – is the maximum permissible weight, including cargo, fluids, optional equipment and accessories that can be safely supported by a combination of all axles.

UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight)* - is the typical weight of the unit as manufactured at the factory. It includes all weight at the unit’s axle(s) and tongue or pin and LP Gas. The UVW does not include cargo, fresh potable water, additional optional equipment or dealer installed accessories. *Estimated Average based on standard build optional equipment.

CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity)** - is the amount of weight available for fresh potable water, cargo, additional optional equipment and accessories. CCC is equal to GVWR minus UVW. Available CCC should accommodate fresh potable water (8.3 lbs per gallon). Before filling the fresh water tank, empty the black and gray tanks to provide for more cargo capacity. **Estimated Average based on standard build optional equipment.

Each Forest River RV is weighed at the manufacturing facility prior to shipping. A label identifying the unloaded vehicle weight of the actual unit and the cargo carrying capacity is applied to every Forest River RV prior to leaving our facilities.

The load capacity of your unit is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading your unit.

Heartland’s Mallard Tailwind T180BH is another bunkhouse model with a modified Murphy bed system to maximize the interior space during the day. It also features a great outdoor kitchen that allows you to split meal prep, so it doesn’t feel cramped inside when cooking.

The double bunks feature queen-sized RV mattresses, the Murphy bed is a queen, and the dinette converts for added sleeping space. Although that would make for a crowded RV with only one bathroom, there is a privacy curtain that allows you to section off the “master suite” from the rest of your trailer.

The Best Lightweight Travel Trailers for 2024

By: Author The Drivin' & Vibin' Team

Posted on January 27, 2024

A lightweight travel trailer might be just what you need for your 2024 adventures.

While many believe that bigger is better, that’s not the case for these units. We’ve found several incredible campers proving that big things can come in smaller packages.

We’ve searched high and low to compile a list of lightweight trailers suitable for solo or family road trips.

Let’s take a look!

Lightweight Travel Trailer Choices for 2024

Lightweight travel trailers have always been popular and will likely continue to be in 2024. One of their most distinguishing characteristics is a decreased mass. Typically, these are any camper with a gross weight of less than 6,000 pounds.

By design, any recreational vehicles fitting into this category have increased flexibility for towing. You won’t need a big, beefy truck to haul these rigs to and from a campsite. Some are also compatible with smaller SUVs, trucks, and vans.

When shopping, it’s essential to consider the amenities, construction materials, and floor plan options. Think about the number of bathrooms and sleeping areas you’ll want for your adventures. Or if an outdoor kitchen is an important feature for you. 

travel light travel trailer

Just because they’re smaller doesn’t always mean you have to make sacrifices. Many manufacturers find creative ways to maximize space and comfort. 

You’ll find plenty of options if you’re in the market for a lightweight travel trailer in 2024. However, we’ve found a few brands with a reputation for exceptional quality you might want to check out first.

2024 Winnebago Micro Minnie Lightweight Travel Trailers

The 2024 Winnebago Micro Minnie is a line of lightweight travel trailers only seven feet wide. However, don’t let its size fool you. Winnebago has done an incredible job designing these units with many features and a variety of layouts to choose from.

Construction

Winnebago constructs the Micro Minnie using 1.5″ thick fiberglass sidewalls from Azdel composite panels. It’s a stronger, quieter, and more weather-resistant material. They’ve also increased the capabilities of these campers by enclosing the underbelly and tanks with radiant foil insulation. 

These methods save weight and provide increased insulation to help control the climate inside your rig. As a result, you can extend the camping season a little longer while staying cozy.

Best Features

You’ll feel right at home inside the Winnebago Micro Minnie. It has a three-burner cooktop, a convection microwave oven, and a large refrigerator. In addition, the large windows make it easy to create a cross-flow to maximize ventilation.

Despite its smaller stature, these models come with some pretty high-tech enhancements. A wireless phone charger, WiFi prep, and JBL speakers are just a few of the enhanced items you’ll love.

However, our favorite attributes are the 200-watt solar panel and the side-mount solar prep to keep your battery bank charged. These can come in handy if you’re looking to spend time off-grid.

travel light travel trailer

The 2024 Winnebago Micro Minnie Lightweight Travel Trailers have 12 different floor plans. They range from 19’6″ to 25’5″ and can sleep anywhere from three to five people. 

Eight models have a slideout, and prices range from around $37,000 to $51,000. You’ll make some priceless memories no matter which one you choose.

2024 Casita Lightweight Travel Trailers

Since 1983, Casita has been cranking out high-quality fiberglass campers. Their 2024 lineup of lightweight travel trailers are some of their best yet. One of these may be your next rig.

Casita uses a two-piece fiberglass shell construction. With no roof seams, you shouldn’t have to worry about leaks, water damage, or rust. Combine this with a heavy-duty 3″ steel frame and suspension mounts, and these campers can take a beating.

One of the biggest complaints from RV owners is the condensation that occurs inside during winter. Luckily, the insulated interior of Casita trailers eliminates this situation and keeps you comfortable any time of year.

Casita campers may be small, but they have plenty to offer. A significant advantage of choosing a travel trailer from this company is that you have a bit of flexibility regarding the features. A few options include a sliding battery tray, electric tongue jack, and AGM deep-cycle battery upgrade.

All of the models in the Casita lineup come in standard and deluxe versions. One of the most significant benefits of upgrading to a deluxe is getting a wet bath inside the trailer. Depending on your camping style, this might be an essential addition to your rig.

travel light travel trailer

No matter which Casita you choose, it’ll be 17’ long. However, while the lengths, weights, and other dimensions remain the same, minor adjustments in the layout and sleeping capacities vary. The Liberty, Freedom, and Independence can sleep two to four campers, while the Spirit and Heritage can house three to six.

All of these units use the rear of the trailer as the sleeping space. The front contains either the wet bath, bunks, or seating spaces. 

In addition, Casita recognizes that owners need places to store gear and travel accessories. As a result, they look for creative ways to include storage wherever possible.

2024 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro Lightweight Travel Trailers

The Forest River Rockwood is another lightweight travel trailer to consider in 2024. They’re ideal for couples and families looking to explore the great outdoors.

Rockwood Geo Pro trailers sit on top of a Dexter Torflex torsion axle with independent wheel suspension and self-damping action. The result is a smoother and safer ride.

An aluminum cage construction and vacuum laminated walls and roof provide a remarkably sturdy structure. Because it uses metal, the unit can last years longer than most wood models.

Speaking of the laminated materials, they do all this on-site at their 100,000-square-foot laminating facility. Other manufacturers might opt to contract this part of the job. However, Rockwood oversees every step of the process, allowing them to control the quality and ensure it gets done right.

You’ll find a long list of exterior and interior features in the Geo Pro lineup. Some of the most loved standard amenities include the Shower Miser water saver, 200W solar panel, and 1800W inverter. These can allow you to top off your batteries wherever you park your camper.

You’ll have access to a 12V refrigerator and microwave in the kitchen. Some models include a gas oven, recessed cooktop, or convection microwave. However, it’s possible to enjoy some delicious food to fuel your travels no matter which unit you choose.

travel light travel trailer

The Rockwood Geo Pro comes in 13 different floor plans. These range from 12’3″ to 21’2″ and weigh between 1,903 to 3,971 pounds. Half the units come with a slideout, while the rest don’t.

As we mentioned earlier, these are fantastic options for couples and families. However, some of their smaller models do not come with bathrooms or indoor kitchen space. However, these are great if you typically camp near restroom facilities and don’t mind cooking outside.

If you want seating and living space, the units over 20′ in length will be your best bet. Those smaller than this have very little room inside, which can be challenging, especially when the weather doesn’t cooperate and you’re stuck inside.

Stuck with an Old Travel Trailer? Here’s How To Make It Work

Published on June 6th, 2024 by Chelsea Gonzales

Our family started our full time RVing journey in a teeny tiny, 10-year-old bumper pull trailer. We eventually moved on to a bigger trailer, and then again to our favorite rig thus far, a Class C motorhome. Unfortunately our Class C gave out on us last summer , and we find ourselves in an old travel trailer once again.

Obviously this situation is far from ideal, but we’ve lived in old trailers before, so we’ve pretty much figured out how to make these kinds of rigs work for us. If you’re also at a point where an old travel trailer is all you have access to, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s how you can get the most out of your older, outdated rig!

Keep It Sealed

First and foremost, it is so very important that you keep your old travel trailer sealed up. This is important no matter what rig you have, but older RVs are all the more likely to have cracked, worn, or missing sealant in various places, something that can lead to leaking. And as we all know, water leaks are a recipe for disaster that can very quickly leave you with no RV at all.

Thank you for subscribing to the Do It Yourself RV newsletter, keep your eye on your inbox for updates.

Fortunately, it’s easy enough to avoid problems with water leaks as long as you stay on top of resealing the trailer. As soon as you acquire the RV, head outside with a caulking gun in hand and apply RV sealant to every crack and crevice. Touch this sealant up at least once a year—but preferably every 6 months—to ensure no leaks appear. 

Make Repairs

If your RV is older, it’s very likely there is some damage somewhere. Depending on what the damage is and how handy you are, it’s likely you will be able to make repairs yourself, and this is something you should do sooner rather than later in order to have a fully functioning rig and avoid further damage that can be caused by existing issues. 

In our most recent trailer, the damage was, unfortunately, water damage. Luckily, it was minimal. We used a product called Git-Rot in conjunction with a product called Sculpwood Putty to fix the problem. Sometimes though, using such products is not possible and the wood will need to be removed and replaced. 

Other repairs we’ve had to make on travel trailers have included replacing a skylight, an A/C unit, a microwave, window seals, a city water connection, a 30-amp plug head, and many, many other things. Of course, we’ve also done our fair share of resealing things over the years. 

Give It a Face Lift

With your trailer all sealed up and repaired, it’s time to start making it your own. Since you’re dealing with a trailer that likely isn’t worth a whole lot anyway, you really don’t have to worry about diminishing the value of the RV and can focus solely on creating a space that you love. 

Painting the interior of a travel trailer is not easy. It requires a lot of patience as you sand and prime the entire space (yes, you really do have to) as well as some gymnastics to get into all the nooks and crannies. That said, it can very easily make an old, run-down space feel bright and welcoming, and might just be the best way to give an old trailer a face lift. 

Add Backsplash

Adding a backsplash behind your kitchen and bathroom sinks is easy with peel-and-stick tile. This is one of those upgrades that is so simple and inexpensive, it’s pretty much a no-brainer—and really, the added color can make a huge difference. 

Try Wallpaper

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is also pretty easy to put up, and if you buy the right kind, you can peel it off again if you decide you aren’t happy with the end product. That said, we did have some trouble keeping the corners of the paper down, so you might need to add something extra sticky under the edges of your wallpaper if you plan to leave it up long term. 

Replace Hardware

We replaced all of the drawer pulls and cabinet handles in our first trailer, and I was surprised how much it changed the look of the place. If you want to modernize your space but don’t want to spend a lot of time or money, replacing the cabinet and drawer hardware is a good place to start. 

Change the Floors

As with painting, changing the floors in a travel trailer is a huge pain in the booty—so much so that we’ve never even attempted it. That said, we’ve watched friends do the job, and it is doable and worthwhile if your floors are bad enough. We recommend using luxury vinyl planks , which snap into place. 

Replace Furniture

RV furniture is not made to last 10+ years. This becomes very apparent as soon as you sit on a 12-year-old trailer couch. Fortunately, it is totally possible to replace travel trailer furniture with any furniture you can get your hands on. Not only that, but choosing to replace the furniture means you can adjust the floor plan to suit your needs. 

My recommendation for those on a budget? Measure your space (and the width of your door, so you know what will fit through) and head to garage sales and thrift stores to see what you can find. 

IKEA is also a good place to shop for RV furniture, as they have many smaller items. When we bought furniture from IKEA, we really appreciated that everything was disassembled, making it easy to fit through the tiny front door. 

Pick Out Decor

Finally, pick out some fun decor that gives your old travel trailer some personality. This doesn’t have to cost a lot. Amazon has tons of wall decor that is inexpensive but cute. You can also find pieces at thrift stores or even create some art yourself.

One thing that is frustrating about our current trailer when compared to our former Class C? The extremely limited storage space. This means that even though our trailer’s cargo carrying capacity far exceeds that of the Class C, we still have to be really intentional about what we hold onto. 

Use these tips when storing things in your older travel trailer:

  • Make use of wall space. Hang shelves, baskets, spice racks, shoe holders, and other wall-mounted storage solutions to maximize vertical space that otherwise goes unused.
  • Get stackable bins and shelving to use inside of tall cabinets so you can likewise make use of all that internal vertical space.
  • Pick furniture items that include storage space. A couch with storage space underneath or a table with built-in drawers will help. 
  • Put unused blankets and clothes in vacuum storage bags until they’re needed again.
  • Avoid bulky, single-use kitchen appliances. Opt for multi-functional appliances instead. 
  • Buy stackable or collapsible items whenever possible. 
  • Consider using waterproof bins in the bed of your truck for storage of non-valuables. Just make sure your truck can handle it. 

Help Travel Days Go Smoothly

The thing we dislike most about going back to an old travel trailer after living in a Class C for so long is the actual traveling. Breaking camp takes significantly longer, pulling the trailer is more stressful than driving the motorhome, and we don’t have easy access to snacks and a bathroom as we drive. 

To combat these things, we do the following:

  • Wake up earlier to give ourselves time to break camp and hitch up without feeling rushed, OR get everything packed and ready to go the night before. 
  • Look for stops along the way that have pull-through parking so we can sleep without unhitching. 
  • Avoid steep grades and big cities whenever possible to reduce the stress of towing. 
  • Pack plenty of snacks in the truck so we don’t need to pull over when someone gets hungry. 
  • Plan for bathroom stops. We add time for bathroom breaks into our total travel time and look for rest stops along our route the night before. 

Obviously, the trailer still isn’t as convenient as the Class C, but these things help make it manageable to live and travel full time in an old travel trailer, even if it isn’t our favorite.
