Travel Trailers For Sale near Des Moines & Ankeny, IA

When it comes to picking a towable RV, there are so many options that it can be daunting, but with a little explanation about the different types available, you can be confident that you are purchasing the correct trailer. Is a travel trailer for you? Here are some reasons that one of our travel trailers for sale just might be!
 

Affordability

One of the most important factors for most people is how much their new trailer is going to cost them. This is one place that a travel trailer has an advantage versus other towables. You can get into a new, top-quality travel trailer for significantly less than a fifth wheel with similar amenities, and for about the same price as the low-end of Gooseneck hitchers. Plus, unlike its big brothers and sisters, you don't need to purchase a pickup to pull a travel trailer, and compared to motorized RVs, the travel trailer is even more affordable. You can also find excellent quality in the used travel trailer market because these campers are so easy to maintain.

Safe and Easy to Tow

While other trailers can be massive in weight, travel trailers are usually quite light, especially because there are so many excellent "mini" travel trailers on the market. The lighter weight makes for a more natural feel, closer to a regular drive, and therefore gives a new driver more confidence. Learning to take turns and get the feel of the shifting gravity is a whole lot easier than on other trailers, so once you get out on the road, you'll already feel like a pro after some relatively minimal practice in a parking lot or other low-traffic area. And not only will you feel like a pro, but you'll also be much more likely to drive like one, making you safer on the road right from the get-go.
 

Easy Maintenance

As mentioned earlier, travel trailers are incredibly easy to maintain. With the lack of an engine to worry about, a typical repair is very similar to what one would do around the house, so it comes naturally and won't force you to head out to a mechanic for expensive repairs. Even in instances where fix-its might be a bit more like a trailer and less like your house, there are plentiful travel trailer owners online with how-to videos, and after you make the fix the first time, you'll be able to do it with ease from that point forward.
 

Make it Your Own

Every buyer has a unique set of circumstances and therefore different needs when it comes to their camper. With a huge amount of floorplans and additional customization packages, travel trailers are perfectly geared towards becoming that dream trailer that everyone imagines, with the amenities and spacing exactly as they imagined. Whether you have a big family, a large group of friends, or just a loved one along with you for a romantic get-a-way, there is an option for you. Varying space-saving features make it possible to have the amenities you want while keeping a spacious feel. Those amenities could include large entertainment centers and modern technology, or they can be more "cottagey", for that rustic feel. If you want it, there is a travel trailer floorplan that has it!
 

Better Camping

As much as you look forward to your vacation, there will always be unforeseen challenges and disappointments. One of these for trailer users is having a hard time finding a proper campground that will fit their trailer. Who wants to be driving around looking for a place and wasting valuable camping time? With a travel trailer, this problem is erased thanks to its incredibly compact size. With this smaller profile, it can fit in smaller parking spaces where other larger trailers can't. This also means that if you like to boondock (camp off of a site), you'll have a much easier time finding a spot to do it and an easier time getting to it with a travel trailer's lighter weight and easy towability.
