frequently asked questions

What is a travel trailer?

A travel trailer rental is a versatile option for those seeking a mobile accommodation solution. Renters tow these trailers using their own vehicles, providing the freedom to unhitch and explore their destination independently of their accommodation.

What are the costs associated with a travel trailer rental?

The cost of travel trailer rentals can vary greatly depending on the size, model, and rental location. Typically, they range from $80-$150/night. In addition to the rental fee, you should also consider the cost of fuel, campground fees, insurance, and any additional equipment you may need.

How many people can a travel trailer rental accommodate?

A travel trailer rental can accommodate depends on its size and layout. Smaller models may only have space for 2-4 people, while larger models can sleep 6-8 people comfortably.

What amenities does a travel trailer have?

Travel trailers rentals typically include a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping quarters. Larger models may also offer additional amenities like a separate living area, more storage space, and upgraded appliances.

Can I tow a travel trailer with my vehicle?

Whether you can tow a travel trailer with your vehicle depends on your vehicle’s tow rating. You should check the RV owner on the weight of the trailer and then check your truck’s manual to see how much weight it can tow.

What are sway bars and weight distribution bars?

For any travel trailer rental, we recommend you use sway bars and weight distribution bars. They are towing accessories that can improve the safety and ease of towing a travel trailer rental. Sway bars help to minimize the trailer’s side-to-side movement, or sway, which can be caused by wind, passing vehicles, or uneven roads. Weight distribution bars help to evenly distribute the weight of the trailer across the towing vehicle’s axles, which can improve stability and control.

Do I need to use sway bars and weight distribution bars when towing my travel trailer rental?

Whether you need to use sway bars and weight distribution bars depends on the weight of the trailer and the towing capacity of your vehicle. As a general rule, if the trailer weighs more than 50% of the towing vehicle’s weight, it’s recommended to use a weight distribution system with sway control.

How do I install sway bars and weight distribution bars?

Installation of these bars should be done according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It involves attaching the bars to both the towing vehicle and the trailer’s hitch system. It’s often recommended to have these systems professionally installed to ensure they are set up correctly and safely. The RV owner should be able to assist you on the initial set up and they should be available for help during your trip.
