Travel Lite Cobblestone

Cobblestone Lite travel trailer

These include 19-inch flat screen televisions with DVD players, cherry cabinets and a full kitchen including refrigerator, stove, and built-in microwave. The high-quality wood and other materials give this affordable lightweight travel trailer the feel of a far more expensive RV.

Starcraft Launch

This one you may just want to see in details!

The Starcraft Launch travel trailers are available in lengths of 15, 16, 17 and 18 feet. They are so called "hybrid" trailers which means an extra sleeping place is achieved thanks to side-tent(s). All trailers are less than 3,000 pounds and offer a range of amenities. A two-burner range, 8,000 BTU side-mounted A/C unit, tub/shower combo, and inside/outside dinette are all standard for these lightweight travel trailers. Despite their size these trailers are designed so lightweight that even a minivan could tow them.

Clipper Ultra-Lite 15RB

Coachmen Clipper: It is bigger than it looks because it is a hybrid trailer with popping-out side tents.

The Clipper Ultra-Lite 15RB can sleep 4 thanks to the slide-out double bed. The private toilet and tub/shower combination is something you'd expect from a far larger RV, while the galley kitchen is pretty standard, featuring a two-burner range and sink. In the front of the trailer is a booth dinette that has extra storage beneath the seats. If you need additional sleeping space, you can add an optional tent-end-bed in the front as well. This model weighs only 2,553 pounds.

Lance 1575

Lance 1575 - Beautiful and exquisitely built

The Lance 1575 offers a lot of room for such a lightweight travel trailer. Weighing only 2,575 pounds, you wouldn't expect to see such a large living space. Lance accomplishes this with lightweight construction materials they call Lite-Ply. This model features a dry bath and comfortable sleeping for four adults. Other features include Satellite HDTV dish, solar power, tent option, RV stereo with iPod compatibility and LED exterior lighting. The skylight and large windows make this small travel trailer feel much larger than it is.

Airstream Sport

Airstream Sport travel trailer: the panoramic front window makes big change to the otherwise retro design.

The Airstream Sport is a gorgeous 16' travel trailer that weights only 2,900 pounds, allowing it to be towed by most smaller pickup trucks and SUVs.
