What is the best small RV?

Small travel trailers are all the rage. Why? The smaller and more lightweight the travel trailer, the easier a tiny towable is to take on the road. Tiny trailers range in size from the teeny-tiny teardrops to the more lightweight aluminum, fiberglass, or composite-material travel trailers. Depending on your vehicle’s towing capacity, (GVWR or GAWR), a small RV might be just what you need to get outside and connect with nature. This year, small travel trailers have taken over the RV shows, and it’s no secret that the smaller the travel trailer, the easier it is to get into those hard-to-reach and coveted dispersed camping areas. Have we got you thinking about what might be the best small RV for you? Check out our favorite top-ten smallest and cutest RVs on the road, and then read on for the ten smallest and cutest RVs.

And if you’d like to try before you buy – we put together this handy search to help you find the right RV for you.
