4. Travel Trailer Manufacturers
When it comes to having the largest variety of campers, look no further than a travel trailer! These trailers range from 10-40 feet which is the largest size range of any of the campers we have talked about today.
If you opt for a smaller travel trailer, it can be pulled by smaller SUVs and cars (which is something that attracts a lot of attention from first-time camper buyers). Having the ability to hook up to and haul something with a car/SUV and not needing to also purchase a truck is an added benefit of these travel trailers! Most small travel trailers don’t come with slide-outs, though!
However, the larger the travel trailer, the more amenities you’ll have (especially if you pick from new models). The more weight you have in the camper, the more you’ll need a truck to pull it.
Travel trailers are some of the highest demanded campers within the camping industry and why they are the perfect recreational vehicles. If this rig is on your list, check out our guide on the best Travel Trailer insurance quotes!

6. 5th Wheel Manufacturers
Fifth-wheel trailers are the largest trailers you can tow behind a vehicle. They’re called fifth wheels because the front of the trailer extends over the rear of the truck (however, they’re not quite small enough to be considered truck campers).
The truck bed contains a hitch mechanism to connect the trailer to the truck which can make fifth wheels easier to tow due to the location of the hitch. Fifth wheels offer the size and space of a Class A RV but they also require a heavy-duty pickup truck to pull the camper with (they’re not exactly lightweight travel trailers).
This type of RV is best for someone who wants all the amenities (such as bunk beds and slide-outs) and value of a large Class A, but also wants to be able to tow it and store it when not in use.
Overall fifth wheels trailers can be the perfect fit for any beginner or experienced camper looking for a large motorhome that is also towable.
