I have my own share of experience with the different lengths and sizes of RVs. In this article, we get into the different travel trailer sizes and include a travel trailer size chart for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What size travel trailer should you buy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally speaking, the ideal travel trailer length for a family of 4 is 25-30 feet long. With a 27-foot travel trailer, you can likely park in your driveway, camp at 93% of national parks, and still have room to sleep 4-6 people comfortably.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally, for convenience, longer travel trailers are the best choices for a family with at least 4 members or more. However, there are roads and campsites that have limits on the lengths that they can accommodate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have personally experienced the benefits and drawbacks of traveling in different lengths of trailers. So I made this article in the hopes of helping you determine which is the best length for a travel trailer for you. It can also serve as a guide so you can rule out the other sizes that you know won\u2019t work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter how long your trailer is you need to see behind you. Campsites can be tight and have obstacles (like kids). A wireless backup camera<\/a> makes life so much easier .. and safer. This wireless camera on Amazon is easy to install, budget-friendly, and best for shorter trailers (check price here<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Longer trailers and especially with metal siding will need a wired backup camera. This takes a little longer to install but you can still do it yourself. We suggest this wired backup camera on Amazon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some will say that anything above 30 feet is too long for a travel trailer. But the truth is that the answer to whether a travel trailer is too long lies on your tow vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a rule of thumb, the longest trailer that your tow vehicle can pull is the one that does not exceed 75% of the maximum loaded weight of your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I put together this travel trailer size chart to help you see the length, weight, and accommodations for travel trailers. This is based on reviewing hundreds of RVs and my own experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A big consideration is the number of people in your family. How long does it have to be for you and your family to live in it comfortably?<\/p>\n\n\n\nBest Size Travel Trailer by Length<\/h3>\n\n\n
