We have toured and reviewed hundreds of travel trailers that are less than 20 feet over the years. Small camper trailers under 25 feet abound in the RV world. Most are lightweight and can be towed by a variety of vehicles. These smaller trailers are generally easier to maneuver and are in an attractive price range.
Add in a full bath, plenty of sleeping space, and a well-apportioned kitchen and you are ready to take family and friends on a host of adventures.
Large RVs with multiple slides and tons of space are great for some but the sub-25 feet category holds a huge chunk of the market.
Is A Travel Trailer Right for You?
Travel trailers are a great option for an RV for many reasons. They are a great value and have a large range of sizes for singles, couples, and even large families.
Traditional travel trailers like the ones on this list are all bumper pull so no special hitch or large tow vehicle is needed. An SUV or 1/2 ton with sway bars is all you need for an enjoyable toeing experience.
One consideration if you are purchasing a small or mid-sized travel trailer includes the bathroom. You will want to decide between a full dry bath or a wet bath. Packing all the amenities and features into a smaller space often comes with some sacrifices.
Storage may also be a question you have with a smaller trailer under 25 feet. These days, however, manufacturers are very creative in providing storage in a smaller trailer.
After you read through our list, you can check out our video below, where we tour some of the best travel trailers under 25 feet.

Travel trailers in the 20–25-foot range generally average between 4,000 and 6,000 pounds, which can be easily towed by a 1/2-ton truck or large SUV.
Some can be towed by a smaller vehicle but it’s always best to know the loaded weight of your trailer and not exceed it. Using a CAT scale will tell you a lot about the weight of your RV when you have it loaded with your specific things and packed the way you like to do so.
