4. InTech Luna

Overview: I initially decided not to include full teardrop trailers in my research for this article. However, I changed my mind after seeing the InTech Luna. The front profile is what attracted me to the lightweight teardrop. Luna’s front is not like a typical teardrop travel trailer. This huge panoramic window looks incredible instead of the usual teardrop profile.

Size: This trailer is a great size. It is small enough to be easily moved around when closed, but it opens up to almost 18 feet in length, making it much more comfortable. It is very compact at just 13 feet. The trailer weighs in at just 1,500 pounds.

It is 7 feet in width, making it more comfortable and spacious, yet still easy to carry around.

Features: This trailer has the great advantage of being able to pop out so you have extra space and sleeping space. You can sleep up to 5 people in this trailer. You can store more things in it than other campers, which is great if you don’t have a truck to haul everything around. It is also nice to have an Above Floor 16-gallon fresh water tank.

6. Jayco 8SD Jay Sport

Overview: The 8SD Jay Sport is a great pop-up trailer. Growing up in a pop-up caravan, I can attest to the Jay Sport’s build quality.

Jay-Sports is one of the most loved pop-up trailers available.

Size: There are many sizes of the Jay Sport, but we prefer the smallest. For around 14,000 dollars, the 8-foot model has most of what you need.

Features: Manufacturers were looking for a compact feature and succeeded. Although these pop-up trailers feel small, they are very spacious. It doesn’t feel like you are in a tent, unlike other popouts. These trailers, even though they are made of tent material, are very well insulated and secure.

Overall Rating: This trailer gets a solid 4 out of 5. I believe that you could spend more to get a trailer with a toilet. While some people are happy to trek long distances to the bathroom at night, others prefer the convenience of a trailer.

7. KZ Sportsmen 160RBT

Overview: KZ is a great company, known for its extravagant lifestyle. However, the company’s sportsmen are quite the underdogs and do exceptionally well. It feels luxurious, but it isn’t expensive.

The Sportsmen Classic 160RBT is the lightest option. It is 2,696 pounds so it is over the weight limit, but it is such an excellent trailer that I couldn’t resist it. You can add optional equipment to lower the weight, but they are not required.

It is easy to transport and compact enough to fit in any parking lot.

8. Taxa Cricket Camper

Overview: This is the best option if you only need a small trailer to Sleep in and out most of the day. It’s tiny! This trailer is small! It is too small to be called a trailer.

Size: The cricket is only 1,450 lbs. It is just 15 feet long. To make this trailer more spacious, there are pop-outs.

Features: This trailer has a very different feel. It’s not traditional in any way. It is spacious and has windows that let you feel as if you are outdoors.

This camper is great for two or three people. The only problem is that the gas grill is located outside. However, that is to be expected for a trailer of this size.

15. Sylvansport Campers Go Pop-up

Overview: You have probably never seen a trailer like this. The Sylvansport Go popup. The trailer can be described as a tiny tent on wheels. It’s extremely light and compact. If you want to escape the tent experience, this is not the camper for you.

Ultra-lightweight Travel Trailers Below 2500 Pounds

Many people don’t want a truck or large SUV in order to be able and able to tow a well-equipped, comfortable and functional travel trailer. 

A Lightweight travel trailer camper is a great way to travel, but sometimes it can be difficult to find the perfect trailer. A small trailer should be able to fit in most garages and parking spaces. It shouldn’t take up too much of your time either because you can set it up in just a few minutes.

If you love to go camping and traveling but don’t want to cart a lot of bulky equipment, perhaps you should opt for having a small travel trailer instead.

Which travel trailer is the lightest?

The Taxa Cricket Camper is the lightest travel trailer with a weight of only 1450 pounds and 15 feet long.

What to look for in a small travel trailer

A great difference between the sizes of some compact trailers and tow-behind campers is in floor space in relation to body size.

A 19′ travel trailer that sleeps five people may have just 100 square feet of interior living space, while a 16′ camper that also sleeps five will at least have double this amount or 200 square feet.

If you are tall or big-footed, make sure your prospective camper has more than an adequate room—you can imagine what it would be like to spend two weeks inside something smaller.

Other examples of designs with considerable differences in floor plans include pop-up campers versus slide-in models; wet bath units versus dry bath versions; and A-frames versus hard side.

What cars can pull a 2500-pound travel trailer?

Your owner’s manual will tell you how much weight your SUV, truck, or van can handle depending on whether they are front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or four-wheel drive.

The following list includes a few vehicles that can handle towing trailers weighing up to 2,500 pounds. This is the car’s gross weight rating, and it does not take into consideration how much the trailer is loaded down with fuel or supplies.

Some Examples:

• Honda Accord
• Toyota Camry
• Nissan Versa Note
• Ford Mondeo
• Ford Fusion
• Toyota Prius V
• Hyundai Sonata
• Chevy Malibu
• Hyundai Azera
• Hyundai Genesis
• Nissan Altima, Nissan Maxima (2012+)
• Honda CRV (2011+) [tight fit]
• Ford Edge, Ford Explorer(2014+)
• Chevy Tahoe/Suburban(2014+)
• Chevy Impala Limited(2014+) [can tow with right hitch adapter & weight bars}

Conclusion

All this said you will find many similarities between the smallest of campers and those that are much larger. For instance, most offer kitchen areas or galley kitchens where cookware can be stored, as well as sinks so dishes can be washed.

You’ll get both storage areas and sleeping spaces; some campers have dedicated storage cabinets while others provide ample closet space and interior compartments. Some 8′ travel trailers even include optional bunks that you can set up at night but fold away during the day.
