Not Sure if A Small Trailer Fits Your Lifestyle? Here’s a Helpful Way to Decide…
A good question to ask yourself is: how much space do I realistically need on a camping trip?
Small travel trailers work best for travellers who primarily need:
- • A comfortable bed
- • A functional kitchen space
- • Shelter in bad weather
- • Basic storage for gear
If your trips revolve around hiking, paddling, exploring towns or relaxing by the fire rather than spending hours inside the trailer, a small model offers everything you need without the cost or complexity of a larger one!

New vs Used: What’s the Best Option for a Small Trailer?
Both choices offer strong benefits depending on your budget and comfort level.
New small trailers offer:
- • Zero wear and tear
- • Warranty coverage
- • Fresh interiors and updated technology
- • Peace of mind for first-time owners
Used small trailers offer:
- • Lower upfront costs
- • More value (often upgraded models for less money)
- • Proven reliability from past use
- • Lower insurance and registration costs
If you’re new to the RV world, a used small trailer is often the perfect “test drive” into camping. But if you want something fresh, modern and worry-free, a new model may be worth the investment.

Small Travel Trailers Work Especially Well in Ontario!
Ontario is full of small, forested and cozy campsites. Many weren’t designed with giant 35-foot trailers in mind. Small trailers shine because they:
- • Fit easily into provincial park sites
- • Navigate winding cottage roads with ease
- • Allow for spontaneous weekend trips
- • Are easy to store during our long winters
Whether you’re exploring Algonquin’s interior roads, beach camping at Pinery, or hiding out in a private campground in Muskoka, small travel trailers are the perfect blend of comfort and simplicity!
