travel trailer

Portable vacation dwelling

A travel trailer is a wheeled recreational vehicle towed behind a car or truck, equipped with sleeping quarters, kitchen facilities, and often a bathroom.

Unlike motorhomes, travel trailers have no engine—they're pulled to a campsite, then unhitched so the towing vehicle can be used independently.

Sizes range from compact teardrop trailers to large units rivaling small apartments.
