8 Smallest Trailers with Slide-out Floorplans that Offer Unrestricted Living Space
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- The most obvious way to expand the interior size of any camper would be to throw in a couple of slide outs, but since these mechanisms are quite pricey, we usually see them on gigantic luxury models that already have plenty of space inside. Luckily, this isn’t always the case and, in this episode, we gathered a lineup of the smallest trailers with slide outs that make this fun feature accessible even to the owners of the most compact towing vehicles.

Mobi Lodge is a South African family operated manufacturer that introduces a new concept of traditional small caravans, by maximizing the size of your base camp to the fullest. Their current 15 ft flagship, Continental, has a large slide out.
#2 Forest River R-Pod Travel Trailer: forestriverinc.com/rvs/travel-trailers/r-pod?RegionSelected=1
The major reason to consider the R-Pod travel trailer family from the Indiana-based Forest River is the ultra-wide variety floorplans developed for the model. Including dealers-specific builds, there are 2 base and 11 expandable models, with the latter featuring a single slideout each.
#3 KZ Sportsmen Classic 181BH: kz-rv.com/products/sportsmen-classic-travel-trailers/photos.html#181BH-photos
Currently a part of Thor’s Industries, KZ RV has been in business for almost 50 years, offering a wide selection of travel trailers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers. The Classic is the smallest and the lightest model in the company’s range, while its 181BH floorplan is probably the most versatile trailer in the mix.
#4 LANCE 1475S & 1575 Travel Trailer: lancecamper.com/travel-trailers/1475/ / lancecamper.com/travel-trailers/1575/gallery/
Established in 1965, the California Lance Camper is known for making eco-friendly campers, using the industry’s latest technologies, such as Azdel and Lite-Ply. However, if you are looking for the most compact trailers from the brand with decent interior room, the 1475 S and 1575 models are the way to go.
#5 Jayco Hummingbird: jayco.com/tools/archive/2020-hummingbird/
The Hummingbird range of travel trailers consists of five models, out of which 3 come featuring a side slideout and measuring almost 20 feet in length. Each is constructed on a Norco frame and is equipped with an American-made Dexter single axle with rubber-torsion suspension.
#6 BeauEr X: beauer.fr/en/?lang=fr
If other trailers from this lineup only expand their premises via mechanically controlled body extensions, the French Beaur 3X is basically a one-piece slide out all on its own. This caravan previews how the future Moon and Mars colonies.
#7 Coachmen Catalina Summit Series 7 coachmenrv.com/travel-trailers/catalina-summit-series-7/172BHS/4640#m-Gallery
Yet another RV manufacturer from under the Forest River Inc umbrella, Coachmen, rarely goes small with their campers. Within their roster, the 20 feet Catalina Summit Series 7 is the smallest model to feature a slide out.
#8 Hitch Hotel Traveler: hitchhotel.com/
Hitch Hotel Traveler is an expandable travel trailer with two wheels, that measures less than 39 inches wide when folded. The Traveler features a single slideout, that effectively doubles its interior room, allowing it to sleep two.

Would you consider a smaller trailer equipped with a slide-out or should this space-increasing technology be reserved to larger, higher priced campers?
I’ve been hoping smaller campers would become more accommodating with these types of feature. Don’t like dealing with the bulk and maintenance of larger campers or care to own a truck just to pull it.
You can only go so small, I don’t like wet baths, too hard to clean.you need a decent fridge for food storage, a small kitchen but most of all fresh water storage, gray and black. The smaller you go the less storage of your liquids.. I like to travel and boondock and a small trailer would not be practical.
Yes! But you need to warn people about these ripple sided trailers. Manufacturers used that type of siding because it’s cheap, and buyers don’t know the downside. The downside is it’s almost impossible to seal, most have 18” strips, and the seams, as well as the corner seams are literally impossible to seal. Add that the cheaper trailers have wood frames and wood rots, and you see the problem. If you understand that driving at highway speeds in the rain is like taking a pressure washer to your trailer, water WILL find a way in, either through the uneven corners or through the side slat seams. Your wood frame will rot, but not in the first year, that’ll happen in 2-4 years when your warranty has expired.
@@Erin-Thor While true that some cheaper ones might have rippled siding, many now have solid fiberglass or Aluminum bodies. But even for rippled siding, the materials being used inside are no longer traditional wood, but lighter and stronger materials that don’t decay.
@@rickstokes2239 - Yes, the siding has pluses but the frames are wood, and you cannot seal the seams. Drive in the rain and the clock starts to their death. They are literally disposable campers that cost $25 grand.
I love the one with handicap accessible! Someday soon I will get one. Not camping because I'm in a wheelchair has taken one of the most enjoyable part of my life. However, I need to get a truck to pull it with and still carry my electric chair.
Hi, Karen. Hope will be able to return to camping soon.
The Mobi Lodge campers truly are things of beauty, they're very well designed and constructed, and intended for some of the most impressive off road locations in the world.
Agree. Thanks for watching!
I loved seeing all of these very cute RVs! They seem to be changing the insides to a sleeker & more appealing design, instead of the standard & boring designs. Thank you for sharing all of the different models including info & pricing.
Hi. You are welcome. Happy to hear that you enjoyed the video
We have truly enjoyed 18TO with large slide out. Forest River builds poorly but no major problems yet. The trailer pulls very well with Tundra, as home is northern California mountains. I wanted it small for off road camping and so it works excellent and most camp sites are 20' or less in mountain. We have added lots extra power and gas. It's an awsome floor plan for two people and off road camping...
Be safe and drive careful, have fun!
Thanks for sharing. How long have you had it?
I think these little trailers are cute and cool. I love the fact of the slide out on them so much better. Love it.❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Beaur X is amazing! A real leap forward in camper technology.
Thanks for the feedback, Adam
That one that expands 80 square feet to 300 square feet!! Or something like that. That’s really neat. I think slide outs are really nice. I’d want one. Enjoyed the video!
❤️💜💚
Awesome to hear that. Thanks for the feedback!
I've had slides on a 28' 5th wheel. Did not like them; they were just one more thing to maintain and some campsites were just too small to allow them to fully extend. I now have an 18.5' Springdale mini with no slides. It has more than enough room for two adults and two dogs and is by far, my favorite camper!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Kellie. Ill check out the model!
I like the HR slide out just because it seems much more practice for me. I can’t travel for long because of my job and prefer to be out in nature when I can. Hotels are ok but can get really expensive. All I want is somewhere to sleep where I feel more secure about where in sleeping in, not a tent. Especially when traveling alone. And it’s light weight is something my sedan can pull!! This will get a lot of younger people wanting to go out and camp.
Omg. I was expecting smaller trailers here. Guess I have the smallest slide out trailer on earth here. 😂.
Hi, Nathan. These were the smallest I could find. Hope they were still worth watching!
Lol. It’s all good man! Have you checked out my trailer? Let me know what you think. Thanks!!!
I liked no 6 it was very innovative and liveable 🤗
Thanks for sharing, Zoey
Me too
slideouts r definitely a bonus
Agree. Which of the models did you like?
My favorite are 20,000 or less and have a nice bathroom. There are 2 really nice. I'm not quite in this position but it's definitely a dream of mine
I like # 5!
Thanks for sharing!
Nice Caravan park
I have always liked the lance, the tiny trailer that expands out is just a gimmick. It’s just a bed people want a livable space they can be comfortable in. Nice video!!!!!
Thanks, Steve. Happy that you enjoyed it
You need to show more of the inside of these things.
Got it. Thanks for the suggestion!
They did not even show the inside of the last trailer!!! Since that one was 1,000 pounds it might have been interesting to see.
This guy again. How someone with a more pleasing voice
Not happening 😂 I plan to continue narrating my videos myself
So wish I could afford one of these! Would beat the tent I live in. Sucks to be a homeless senior!
Sorry to hear that. Hope things will improve for you!
Leakage is the main issue. I had them I don’t like them. But they do add floor area which is nice. I had three slides on a motor home the two smaller were great the larger one was always a problem and not really fixable.
Thanks for sharing! What manufacturer was it?
@@MustSeeTech
Mine was a 34 ft. Four Winds Hurricane on a Ford V10 chassis. RV’s are generally a maintenance item. But we had a lot of fun in the 15 years we had it.
@@shopart1488 but 15 years.....is a LONG time I think. After 15 years I expect most items ready for replacement anyway when it comes to camping.
Nice to meet you. I also make my own travel trailer. It was a very fun video. Thank you very much ^ ^
5:20 JayCo has discontinued their “Hummingbird” line of travel trailers; I forget the name of what they replaced them with... 🤷🏽♂️
Hi, Samuel. You can still buy them from dealer inventory
Montréal accent? Salut toi. Beau canal
Thanks 👍
Like the South African one
Good choice. Thanks for sharing it
No.6
Thanks for sharing your choice!
I'm looking for a camper that can be towed by a full size van, but is large enough to be handicap adapted. Is there any brands for h/c campers?
Try a toy hauler.
I believe #2 was mentioned as having a wc accessible version.
Have a Jeep Cherokee. Have a 5000 pound hitch but only rated at 2000 pounds. I want a separate bathroom with shower, dining and bed. Any trailers I can make work. It would probably be like 1700 pounds because I am carrying two Rad Rovers Ebikes at 100 pounds each.
Hi, Robert. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/uI8Q6ix-b8g/видео.html
It is about small campers with bathrooms, maybe something will fit you needs
8 look worth a deeper look.
👍 half the video was useful!
Nr.2 : if I get all that which you show in your video for 18,000 ?US$., I'll buy one straight away. 🤗
Hi, Carolle. You guessed it. 18k is the starting price
I have one I can build. In fact.... basically build anything ☺️
You need some background music. Some classical or something. It's just a slideshow with a voiceover.
Hi, Kyle. I usually add background music, but on this specific video, I forgot 🤷
@@MustSeeTech Ahhh np! It was just... weird, so many silences.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks, Bekarys
That hotel comper is BS, give me that all in one luxury one.
Hi. Which one?
@@MustSeeTech number 2😁
Can you provide me in india
Hi. You should contact the manufacturer that interested you to find out
If you graphed the cost of the camper, what you get for the money, and who can afford it, you should realize most of these campers are a mistake.
Someone that needs to live in it probably can’t afford it, and if he could afford it then the tiny amenities are inconvenient. A rich person can afford it but will use it 4 times a year.
The tiny trailer for 6k is affordable for most but no standing room or bathroom.
In the end expensive or new campers are for those who can afford them and mostly for recreation. The talk about practicality of new campers should reflect that.
I'm looking at all the SMALLEST trailers. Nothing is a gimmick now days. What you should ask your subscribers is, how many of you are considering living in one of these? We are officially living in an age where people are turning to these for housing. So many can't afford standard housing. I hate it, but these are easier to deal with than a TINY HOUSE. That's something we need to change, as a PEOPLE a collective. The US has thousands on the street. & Millions on social security, who payed in all their lives. Who are now too disabled or too old to live on the street. But certainly can't afford the rents in most of our states. So I'll take all the GIMMICKS I can get. But what every city really needs to do is open their eyes & hearts to the zoning laws, allowing TINY HOUSE, including these, communities..
Fake slide outs!!!
Kon chutiya is price range me ye fuddu se camper khareedega🤔
Hi. Sorry, I don't understand your comment
get rid of the computer voice. If you're too scared to voice it yourself, get a friend or hire someone.
Lol, Tina. I am already voicing all of these videos myself. My accent must have confused you
Pay for someone to be able to speak English properly, sounds like a computer, had to turn off the volume, irritating
