a folding camping trailer. The ends unfold into sleeping areas, which are soft-sided. The main living space is in the hard-sided center of the trailer. Expandable travel trailers range 19-30 feet long and sleep
up to eight. Again, many smaller and light- weight models can be towed by mid-sized vehicles. A kitchen, dining area, bath- room, and sleeping areas are standard.
Sport Utility Trailer: Also known as a toy hauler, this type of towable RV
is ideal for active individuals and families who enjoy dirt biking, ATVing, or other motorized toys (or maybe even a small fishing boat or raft). There’s a garage or cargo area that can house all of these items that is located next to the living quarters. These areas can be divided or not. Slide-outs are available on some mod- els for additional space, but many find ad- equate comfort in the 19-39 feet of space that features all the main areas of home. Some folks choose a sport utility trailer just to have a large, wide-open room for entertaining or a home office.
Folding Camping Trailer: A great starter RV or for anyone who loves tent camping but with a more comfort- able area in which to sleep, the folding camping trailer is a compact mix of hard- and soft-sided options that can be towed behind many family vehicles. Folding camping trailers can be 8-24 feet long and sleep up to eight people, although some of the sleeping spaces are also used as
the living room couch and/or dining table area. They are quick and easy to set up, and many have heat included to help keep you cozy on cool Michigan nights.
Truck Camper: Truck campers are hard-sided and designed to be loaded onto the bed or chassis of a pickup truck. Some truck campers are meant to be affixed to it. This is an economical option for a single person, couple, or small fam- ily. They are relatively easy to travel with (no towing!) and have a range of floor plans. Some even have slide-outs. You’d think that a truck camper would have just living and sleeping areas, but they can have toilets and showers included on the list of amenities. Some can be detached upon reaching the campground so that you can use the truck for other excur- sions. See sidebar next page.
A towable RV is a great fit for families with young children, people who love to be adventurous, and those who like a little added flexibility by having a tow vehicle. Regardless of what kind you choose, an RV offers freedom – and that’s what you’re really after, right?
