Travel trailers are a great way to take a family vacation. But no one wants to be cramped and slides are a great way to gain space so you can include more family and friends in the fun! Travel trailers also have the benefit of being lightweight but sturdy and can be pulled by a pick-up truck or SUV. And perhaps the most convenient reason of all is that you can unhitch at your destination and still use your vehicle to explore. Not sure yet about any of the five trailers above?
