New Trends in Travel Trailers

 

 

For those that have never shopped for a travel trailer or if it has been some time ago, you will be glad to hear they just keep getting better.  Today’s travel trailers offer more amenities than ever and continue to make better use of the available space while adding many practical, money-saving features. 

One of the latest trends displayed at a recent RV trade show in Louisville, Kentucky was an outdoor kitchen designed primarily for travel trailers and fifth wheels.  The kitchens were fully equipped with a sink, small refrigerator and stove top or grill.  Believe it or not, a few models even came with a flat screen TV.

Another new trend found at the show was an add-on outdoor deck made from interlocking flooring of laminate or teak.  Similar models had a retractable mat that was used to make a patio floor.  Both options came with a convenient storage container.  In addition several companies featured porches that are attached to the side of a trailer and accessed through a door wall in the master bedroom. 

If you are in the market for a new travel trailer and think there is a good chance you will upgrade it in a few years, keep in mind that several features can add to the resale value down the road.  Slideouts are one example of this as they may bring a higher resale price than trailers without one, and even though they cost more initially, they generally are worth the investment. 

 

Also you will find that green technologies such as solar panels, RV wind turbine-powered electrical systems, and other energy-efficient components are increasing in their popularity.  There is even a travel trailer designed with a radiant heat system to name but a few of the latest, innovative trends in the RV industry.
