List of 7 Foot Wide Travel Trailers (Who Makes 7 Ft Wide?)

Wider is not always better. You may be grateful that you bought a smaller trailer. The reason we say that is many older campgrounds are not wide enough to handle 8-foot or wider Travel trailers in their campgrounds. Thinner is often better than wider in many cases including smaller rural roads.

There is at least one RV, The Micro, that measures 7 feet wide. It does not have a lot of space around the bed which may put some people off. There are smaller trailers as well and we may include anything between 6 and 8 feet in this article.

To learn more about who makes and how many trailer models are only 7 feet wide approx. Just continue to read our article. It provides as much information on these thinner trailers as possible. Take a few minutes to see if this trailer option is perfect for you.

Are There Any 7 Foot Wide Travel Trailers?

Yes, there are and there seems to be quite a few of them made. The Micro as mentioned earlier is one model. The Drop only gets to 6 1/2 feet wide but it should be mentioned here.

The Coachman RV manufacturer makes the Catilina series. This series is supposed t be comprised of all trailers made under 8 feet. Most of the floor plans we saw had the width at 90 inches for every model.

That equals 7 1/2 feet wide. In 2020 Jayco made one and they called it the Jay Flight SLX 7. This trailer has a nice layout but you can only enter the bed from one side. The length ranged between 16 1/2 to 21 1/2 feet.

Palomino made the Ultra Lite series which also hit the 7-foot mark with ease. In the 7 floor plans available, they all weighed under 5000 pounds. Then there is IBEX travel trailers. They offer 8 floor plans with 4 being 8 feet wide and 4 being 7 feet wide.

The latter also weighs under 5000 pounds, with most of them coming with slides. You can also check out R-Pod as that company or model series makes 6 to 7-foot wide trailers. Some also get to 8 feet wide.

What these examples tell you is that both small and traditional RV makers do try to make trailers that fit their customers’ preference for thin and small. You do not have to look for custom made trailers to get what you want.

Who Makes 7 Foot Wide Travel Trailers?

The better question is, who doesn’t make a 7-foot trailer. We have mentioned several brands in the previous section . If you note those brands are small ones or traditional RV makers that like to build big.

At the moment we are not sure who makes the The Drop or The Micro but we are finding that all companies are making small trailers as there is a market for them. Forest River makes the R-Pod.

There are lesser known trailer makers, for example, Scamp, Casita,

Bigfoot, Escape, Trillium that do make 7 foot or between 6 and 7 1/2 feet wide trailers. Which models they produce you would have to contact them to see their full line-up.

The Drop and the Micro are both made by Winnebago and their full names are Minnie Drop and Micro Minnie. The former comes with 5 floor plans and 6 colors while the latter has 12 floor plans and 2 colors to choose between.

If you are looking for an older model series, you can try the Chalet Takena brand. It seems to have been around in the early 2000s up until the present time. Their website says you can buy direct from them.

However, this company makes pop-up A-frame trailers so they may not be included in this list. Most pop-ups can be quite thin depending on the model and maker of the trailer.

You may have to do some searching to see what 7-foot trailers are available today.

List Of 7 Foot Wide Travel Trailers

In this section, we will simply provide the brand name. Many of these companies have been in business for decades and their model lines change constantly. They may have been making 7-foot trailers for a generation but that does not mean all models are still being made.

Some may be relegated to used trailer dealers and forgotten. The used may not appear in any current manufacturer’s model lists. That will be true for used Airstream. Their older models were all 7 feet wide and have been overshadowed by their more modern counterparts. But you can check that company as well to see if they still make 7-foot wide trailers.

Here are just some brands that have or should be making 7-foot wide trailers:

Scamp, Casita, Bigfoot, Escape, Trillium, with Bigfoot mainly making wider trailers today. Their olde rmodels were said to be made between 6 and 7 1/2 feet wide. That may be true for some of the other brands in that short list.

Next will be the traditional brands-- Winnabego, Forest River, Jayco, Coachman, Airstream, Keystone and possibly more. There are smaller outfits like SunLite and Starcraft that make smaller trailers for couples with no children. Heartland is said to make a 7’ 6” model. It is best to go to each maker’s website to see what they do make and if you do not see one, they may have made them years earlier and stop production on them.

Many of the older trailers, pre-2000s were only made to be 7 feet wide os if you like vintage that may be an option for you. Again, in that era, the top makers would be the traditional RV makers you know and love today.

During that era there were a lot of makers that went out of business but a few of their models still exist. We can’t think of all their names off hand, but there were a few good ones that people loved and took care of.

7 Foot Wide Travel Trailer With Slide Out

Puma Ultra Lite made the 18RDX model with one slide-out. It weighed just under 5000 pounds and was 23’ 2” long and 10’ 1” high. The holding tanks were 34 gallons for the freshwater, and 30 gallons for both the grey and black water tanks.

For the Catalina Summit Series their 184BHS & 184 FQS have one slide-out each. They weigh 5000 and 5500 pounds respectively and approx. Plus, they are both 23’ 1” long & 10’ 1” high but their width measures 7’ 6” each.

Their freshwater tank holds 44 gallons while the grey and black water tanks held firm at 30 gallons each. Also, you can check the following models to see if they are true 7-foot wide trailers but they all have a slide-out included in their floor ploans:

1. KZ Sportsmen Classic 151RB

2. Forest River R-Pod 190

3. Jayco Hummingbird 17BH

4. KZ Sportsmen Classic 181BH

5. Lance 1575

6. Palomino 182SK

That list should just get you started. You have to decide if a slide-out is warranted for these smaller trailers. They require a bit of maintenance and that extra work may not be worth the small amount of space you do get when they are extended.

Finding Used 7 Foot Wide Travel Trailers

The good news is that you will find these just about anywhere trailers are being sold. We have given you a list of current manufacturers that make these smaller trailers.

Most likely, you will find that almost all famous brands will have a smaller trailer line-up as not everyone wants to tow or live in a large model. All you have to do is check their website and their model web pages to see what is available.

Small is not always better as cramped quarters makes it hard to get along with others. If you do not see any on those web pages, just contact them and ask if they make any.

The next place to look will be those smaller brands that you do not always see on the road. We gave you a short list of those earlier as well. Do the same thing with them and see what models they are offering, then check their floor plans to see if those are ideal or not.

Then, the best place to look if you do not mind used or vintage models will be used trailer or RV dealers. We have seen several ads pop up during our research and they offer different 7-foot models for sale.

A quick internet search will be the best way to find all those ads and see if there is anything you like. Finally, there are the classified ads. Whether those ads are national or local, they are a great source for finding good used trailers for sale that measure 7 feet wide.

You never know when you will run into a motivated seller and get a great deal for their model.

Benefits Of Owning a Smaller Trailer

1. It is cozy- when you want to be romantic, the smaller 7-foot models provide the coziness you need. These smaller trailers are perfect when it is just the two of you.

2. Less work- these trailers are easier to maintain as there is less work to be done. Except if you own a model with a slide-out. Less area means fewer places and features to go wrong or break.

3. Easier to tow- smaller is not hard to tow and you can get into smaller campsites and parking spots that the bigger models cannot get into. That opens up more campgrounds you can park at and enjoy their scenery.

4. Smaller tow vehicles- Less weight also means you can use a smaller car to tow these trailers. You do not need to shell out the big bucks for a truck with a heavy duty motor and costs tens of thousands of dollars to tow the trailer. You can get by with smaller vehicles which are more economical.

5. Less fuel- speaking of economy, those smaller tow vehicles will use less gas and are great to use once you are unhooked and want to explore the town or area. The bigger trucks may be more powerful but they use a lot of fuel and are expensive to fix.

6. Fits your budget- instead of paying items of thousands of dollars were a large trailer, most 7-foot models are very affordable and won’t break your budget. That means you can pay off the the loan faster and save on interest payments.

7. Storage is easier- if you are a summer only camper or a spring, summer or fall camper, you can save on storage fees as these trailers take up less space. Or you can slip them in your garage or yard out of sight of the HA board that monitors property values.

8. They are cute- their looks are more pleasing to the eye than those large giant trailers that look like you are towing something that belongs behind a tractor truck. You also do not take up too much road room making your travels a bit safer.

9. A minimalist lifestyle- a smaller trailer helps you decide what items are important and which ones you really do not need. Keeping what is important is better than filling your storage space with items you never use.

Some Final Words

Smaller 7-foot trailers do exist, even though they do not get the press the larger models get. But bigger is not always the best way to go when it is just the two of you.

If you are on a tight budget, then going smaller is perfect for your financial situation. Plus, you can use a smaller vehicle to help you save even more. Don’t let friends and ads push you towards those larger trailers. Sometimes smaller is the only way to go and is more fun.

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) – is the maximum permissible weight, including cargo, fluids, optional equipment and accessories that can be safely supported by a combination of all axles.

UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight)* - is the typical weight of the unit as manufactured at the factory. It includes all weight at the unit’s axle(s) and tongue or pin and LP Gas. The UVW does not include cargo, fresh potable water, additional optional equipment or dealer installed accessories. *Estimated Average based on standard build optional equipment.

CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity)** - is the amount of weight available for fresh potable water, cargo, additional optional equipment and accessories. CCC is equal to GVWR minus UVW. Available CCC should accommodate fresh potable water (8.3 lbs per gallon). Before filling the fresh water tank, empty the black and gray tanks to provide for more cargo capacity. **Estimated Average based on standard build optional equipment.

Each Forest River RV is weighed at the manufacturing facility prior to shipping. A label identifying the unloaded vehicle weight of the actual unit and the cargo carrying capacity is applied to every Forest River RV prior to leaving our facilities.

The load capacity of your unit is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading your unit.

Updated April 5, 2024

Finding the right travel trailer can be difficult, so here are the 7 best travel trailers under 7,000 lbs. Travel trailers that weigh less than 7,000 lbs are popular because they are large enough to sleep a larger family while light enough to tow with mid-size pickup trucks and larger SUVs.

In this article, we share our top picks for travel trailers that weigh less than 7,000 lbs for 2024.

Advantages of Travel Trailers Under 7000 LBS

One of the first things that will affect your decision is the size of the trailer you are interested in. Depending on your situation and how many people you want to travel with, there are benefits to both small and large trailers. However, many people prefer large travel trailers for various reasons.

Large travel trailers are great for large families and for traveling with a large group of friends. They have lots of sleeping spaces and living spaces. Additionally, they provide all the storage you need so that you can pack for everything you might want to do on your trip.

You will also enjoy having a larger kitchen area to cook meals you would normally make at home. 

When you leave for an extended camping trip, you might not think you want any comforts from home. However, if you are gone for a month, you will quickly appreciate having extra counter space to make something that is not premade.

That is a luxury only available in large travel trailers. As a result, purchasing a large travel trailer is worth it to many people. 

7 Best Travel Trailers Under 7000 LBS

If you are in the market for a lightweight travel trailer but do not know where to start, we have some suggestions. Below, we offer seven travel trailers under 7,000 pounds that we think are great options for a range of RV owners.

Each travel trailer has plenty of comfort features, space for multiple people, and a dry weight below 7,000 pounds. When considering these travel trailers, look closely at the GVWR and cargo capacity to ensure that your tow vehicle can handle the loaded weight and that there is plenty of capacity for all your stuff.

1. Airstream Flying Cloud 25FB

Our Pros And Cons

✅ Queen or twin bed options, optional workspace instead of dinette ❌ Expensive, GVWR is just over 7,000 lbs

• UVW: 5,650 lbs
• GVWR: 7,300 lbs
• CCC: 1,650 lbs

For those of us who just love the look of the Airstream and want to hit the road with an icon of American travel, a great option is the Airstream Flying Cloud 25FB . This lighter-weight option from Airstream is perfect for small families and couples.

Tucked inside the trademark aluminum body, the 25FB has a front bedroom with either a queen or twin bed configuration. The dinette converts to an additional bed, perfect for your kids. Comfort features in this travel trailer include a full-size shower and plenty of kitchen counter space.

2. Outdoors RV Timber Ridge 24RLS

If you are looking for a travel trailer that offers a bit of luxury in a lightweight package, the Heartland Mallard is a beautiful, ultra-light option.

This 30-foot trailer features two private sleeping spaces, a larger slide-out with a dinette and loveseat, and an updated entertainment center and kitchen. Under the living area, this travel trailer has a huge, insulated storage area, which makes up for the minimal interior storage.

It also comes standard with a power slide, power awning, and power leveling jacks, making for quick and easy set-up

• Length: 21’ 6”
• UVW: 5,563 lbs

• CCC: 1,937 lbs
• Tongue Weight: 612 lbs

If you are wanting a shorter lightweight travel trailer, but do not want to skimp on features, the Bigfoot RV B25 is a versatile option worth considering.

This trailer comes in at just under 22 feet long, so it is great for new owners just learning how to pull a trailer. Inside, this trailer has lots of amenities, including a ton of storage, a full bath, and stainless steel kitchen appliances.

This trailer is also well suited for three-season travel with heated holding tanks and thicker R8 insulation.

5. Coachmen Northern Spirit XTR 2146BHX

✅ Central control panel, kid-friendly space ❌ Adult bed is not private

• Length: 27’ 1”

Besides the family-friendly features, this travel trailer has cargo storage under the kid’s bunks and pass-through storage under the bed.

• Length: 26’ 1”
• UVW: 5,176 lbs

• CCC: 1,819 lbs
• Tongue Weight: 490 lbs

For full-time RVers who spend their time in warm climates, the Grand Design Imagine is a comfortable place to live and work. While this travel trailer is designed to sleep four people, it is really ideal for individuals or couples that work and live on the road.

This 26-foot trailer has all of the comforts of home. We like the kitchen with lots of storage and plenty of counter space. The living space has comfy theater seating, an entertainment center, and a dinette that is perfect as an office.

With a GVWR of less than 7,000 pounds, you can easily tow this trailer, even fully loaded with most large SUVs or ½ ton pickups.

7. Vintage Cruiser 23BHS

✅ Extra lightweight, unique floor plans ❌ Color options are not for everyone, limited exterior storage

• Length: 26’1”
• UVW: 4,253 lbs
• GVWR: 6,080 lbs
• CCC: 1,827 lbs
• Tongue Weight: 480 lbs

Gulfstream RVs have taken the travel trailer of the 50s and brought it into the 21st Century. The Vintage Cruiser line of lightweight travel trailers features fun, bright color accents, spacious living areas, and numerous ways to customize your trailer.

The 23BHS has sleeping space for two adults and two kids. The Vintage Cruiser gives you plenty of interior storage for all of your gear, including large drawers under the dinette. This travel trailer also has one of the more spacious bathrooms you will find in a lightweight travel trailer.

Can You Tow A 7000 lb Travel Trailer With An SUV?

Yes! There are a number of SUVs on the market that are perfect for pulling a 7,000-pound travel trailer. Generally speaking, you will want to look for larger SUVs to pull a 7,000-pound travel trailer.

These larger SUVs are typically designed on chassis similar to that of full-size pickup trucks. This means that they can handle the added weight on their frame and axles. They also tend to have larger engines and more robust transmissions.

Popular examples of SUVs that can pull 7,000 pounds of travel trailer include the Dodge Durango, Ford Expedition, Chevy Tahoe, and Toyota Sequoia. If you are looking for luxury brands that can tow a 7,000-pound travel trailer, consider the Lexus LX, Land Rover Defender, Porsche Cayenne, or the Mercedes-Benz GLE.

What Size Travel Trailer Is Best For A Family Of 4?

Most families do well in a travel trailer that is 20 to 36 feet in length. This size allows for a bit of space to spread out and is large enough to accommodate sleeping space for four people.

That said, you need to consider your family and how much time you will be spending in your travel trailer when you are looking for a good option.

For instance, if you are going to be a full-time RV family, you may want to look at travel trailers on the longer end of that spectrum. This will allow everyone some private space, and you may be able to customize the space for work, school, and fun with minimal difficulty.

On the flip side, if you like to hit the road on the weekend, are really active, and really just need a travel trailer for sleeping, showering, and cooking, a smaller travel trailer may work perfectly for your family.

Remember, you also need to consider the capacity of your tow vehicle. If you are not ready to invest in a new vehicle along with your travel trailer, look for options that also coordinate with your vehicle.

1 thought on “7 Best Travel Trailers Under 7000 LBS for 2024”

These trailers are nice but where are you suppose to put your clothes? For the last 11 years we were snowbirds. We never had enough closet space. Those little closets beside the bed would only hold 4 shirts.

So come on companies we need more closet space and more counter space. It drives me crazy trying to keep things put away.

13 Amazing RVs With Extra High Ceilings (With Pictures)

High ceilings on an RV are a must for taller people looking to stand up in their RV.  Even if you aren’t very tall you may still want to own a camper with high ceilings.

High ceilings make rooms feel less claustrophobic and they give you more room to store gear.

They also help with the management of condensation since you have more volume to work with.

The problem is in finding an RV with a high ceiling.

Table of Contents

After doing our research, here are the best RVs with high ceilings.

Travel Trailers With High Ceilings

Travel trailers can come in models with under 6′ of headroom and can go all the way up over 8′ of headroom.

Typically, you’ll find more headroom in longer travel trailers.

1) The Airstream Classic

The Airstream Classic is a large travel trailer with an exterior length of 31’3″ and an interior width of 8’1″.  This camper has an interior height of almost 6’8″.

Although this model does not have any slideouts, it is large enough and long enough that most tall people will feel quite comfortable in it. 

Another advantage of this camper is its aerodynamic shape.

Even though the camper is larger, it is less susceptible to wind resistance because of its shape.

This gives people towing an Airstream classic better gas mileage and less trailer sway than people towing other large travel trailers. You can read more here on how to avoid swaying .

The main drawback of this camper is its price.

People looking to buy a brand new Airstream Classic can expect to pay over $150,000.00.  Some tall campers may be willing to duck down in a shorter camper before paying the additional money for an Airstream.

You can read more here about 14 things to consider before buying an Airstream .

2) Dutchmen Aspen Trail 2050QBWE

This RV is shorter than the Airstream and comes in at 24’10”.  Its width is the same at 8 feet and it also does not have any slide outs.  However, with the Aspen, you gain an additional 2 inches in height.  This camper has an interior height of 6’10”.

An advantage to this camper is that even though it is long and tall, it only weighs 4,230 pounds.  This means that even people with 5 and 6 cylinder trucks can potentially tow this RV.

In fact, many people with larger SUVs will also be able to tow this camper.

The Aspen sleeps four people and has a full-size bathroom with a separate shower as well as a nice dinette and full-size kitchen.

You’ll save a lot of money by buying this RV over an Airstream as this camper is priced out at only $16,000.00.

3) Premier Ultra Lite 19FBPR

The Premier Ultra Lite 19FBPR is even shorter than the Aspen and yet has an additional inch of interior headroom.  This camper is 24’3″ long and has an interior height of 6’11”.  It is even lighter than the Aspen as it only weighs 4,353 pounds.

One great advantage that this RV has over the previous two campers is that it has a nice sized slideout.

The dinette slides out which helps to expand the kitchen and dining areas and gives the RV the ability to have a rear bathroom.  The kitchen has a double-sink for washing dishes and the bathroom has a full-size bathtub to relax in at the end of a long day of camping.

For this camper, expect to pay around $30,000.00.

The camper trailers from the Venture RV company also look a lot like the model above.

4) Sandpiper Destination Trailers 385FKBH

The Sandpiper Destination trailer has almost as much interior headroom as a standard home does.

The interior height is a whopping 7’10” tall!   

You’ll also find four different slideouts and sleeping room for seven people.

This travel trailer is as close as you can get to having a real house on wheels.  In fact, the living room even has a ceiling fan.

The bathroom has a full bathtub and the second bedroom can double as an extra living room as the bunk can actually turn into a sofa.

The drawback to this travel trailer is that it can only be towed by large vehicles.  The dry weight is over 10,000 pounds and the hitch weight alone is 1,615.  Fill up the 60-gallon freshwater tank, the 104-gallon gray water tank, and the 52-gallon black water tank and you’ll have more weight than most small and mid-size trucks can even handle.

Even if you can tow this travel trailer, you may not be able to find a place to park it.  This travel trailer is 40 feet long and almost 13 feet high.

It is eight feet wide without slideouts but both sides have the slideouts which mean you’ll need at least 14 feet in width to park it. 

Also, don’t think you’ll be able to use it with the slides in as one of the front slides blocks off the back of the trailer when it is closed.

This travel trailer is priced at about $40,000.00.

5) 2019 Forest River Cherokee 274DBH

The Forest River Cherokee camper is a two bedroom camper with a dinette and a separate sofa.  The bathroom is large and holds a separate tub.

The second bedroom features a loft bed overtops with plenty of sleeping room for two people.

This camper has a luxurious interior with stainless steel appliances.  The length is more manageable than the Sandpiper as it is only 32′ long.

Also, the width is eight feet, but you only have one slideout to work with so you won’t be almost doubling the RV’s width when you open it up.

This travel trailer will give you an interior height of seven feet and you’ll only pay in the neighborhood of $20,000.00 for it.

Smaller Travel Trailers with Head Room

If you’re searching for a small travel trailer with lots of headroom, you’ll probably have to go with a custom build or a popup camper.

Some popup campers can extend all the way up to seven feet inside but you’re unlikely to find them in a hard side popup model.

Hi-Lo and A-liner models offer over six feet of standing room inside at certain points but not much more.

Fifth Wheel Campers With High Ceilings

Fifth wheel RVs tend to have the highest ceilings of all RVs.

Often-times, they’ll even be tall enough to stand in after you’ve walked up steps to go into the area above the truck bed.  The way these RV’s are designed gives them more stability over their travel trailer counterparts even with the increased height.

6) Forest River Sierra 3350BH

The Forest River fifth wheel camper has an interior height of seven feet.  Its length is almost 42 feet and its width is eight feet.

The weight of this RV is 10,000 pounds so only larger trucks will be able to safely tow it.

The rear of this camper has two slideouts which give it the ability to comfortably hold a set of bunk beds a dinette and a trifold bed.

One of the unique aspects of this RV is that it has 1.5 bathrooms. 

This is nice as the bedrooms are separated by the kitchen so campers in different bedrooms won’t have to wake each other up when using the restroom in the middle of the night.

You can buy this camper for around $35,000.00.

7) The Jayco Pinnacle 38FLWS

This fifth wheel camper is a luxury fifth wheel camper with an interior that is better than most people’s homes.  It features a walk-in closet, a king size bed, a 36″ wide shower and a kitchen with a residential fridge.

The kitchen has a large hutch and pantry as well as an island.

The living room has two separate tri-fold beds as well as theater seating.  You’ll even find a large fireplace and a nice ottoman within the living room.

The dining table comfortably seats four people and the camper has two different entry points.

In the bedroom, you’ll find two separate dressers and a washer and dryer for doing laundry.  This luxury camper sits underneath nine feet of interior headroom in the common areas and almost seven feet in the bedroom.

With all of this headroom and luxury, you can expect to pay more than what you’d pay for the average camper.

The Pinnacle prices out at around $100,000.00.

8) The Grand Design Solitude 372WB

This fifth wheel RV has a large walk-in closet, a double sink in the bathroom and a large shower with a skylight and a seat.  The kitchen has a large 19 CU.

A residential refrigerator as well as a double sink and a kitchen island.  If the indoor kitchen isn’t enough, it also has an outdoor kitchen as well.

The dinette is free standing so you could replace this table with an office or whatever else you’d like.

There is also theatre seating in the living room as well as a fireplace and a trifold sofa bed.  The entertainment center is telescoping so you can hide it away when not in use.

This RV has a length of 41 feet and a height of 13’5″ on the outside.

Its weight is almost 14,000 pounds and its fresh water capacity is 93 gallons.  The interior height of this RV comes in at over 8 feet tall.

For all of this, you’ll end up paying around $73,000.00.

9) The Dutchman Atlas 3382BH

This RV is 37 feet long and 8 feet wide.  It has three slideouts with two on the driver’s side and one on the passenger side. There is theater seating in the living room and a free-standing dinette in the dining room.  The living room features a fireplace and the kitchen features an island with a double sink.

The bathroom has a full-size tub and the rear of the RV features an outside kitchen.  The back bedroom has a standard bed with a fold-down bunk overtop of it.

This RV weighs only 8,848 which is lighter than the previous fifth wheel RV we mentioned. 

This being said, you’ll still need a full-size truck to be able to tow this RV.  The exterior height of this RV is a bit shorter than your average fifth wheel but you’ll still get over 7 foot of interior height inside.

This RV sells for about $40,000.00 brand new which is a bargain for how much RV you get.

10) The DRV Luxury Suites Mobile Suites 44 Memphis

This camper is a 44′ long luxury fifth wheel camper featuring a large king size bed, a full-size tub, a washer, and a dryer.  The kitchen has an island, double sink, and a large residential fridge.

Alongside a free-standing dinette is an office desk perfect for doing work on the road.  Past this is a living room with two recliners, a sectional, and a large fireplace.

There are four slides on this camper – two on each side.  This makes this camper both long and wide and at over 8 foot tall inside it makes it tall as well.  The additional height gives the manufacturer the ability to put a ceiling fan in the living room.

While you get a lot of headroom as well as a lot of luxury with this camper, you do pay for it.  Expect to pay around $140,000.00 for a brand new Memphis 44.

Toy Haulers

Toy haulers are similar to travel trailers in headroom.  You can find toy haulers in models with a lot of headroom and some without much headroom at all.

11) The Winnebago 32SC

This toy hauler camper has a queen size bed with built-in nightstands as well as an overhead cabinet overtop of the bed.  It has a full-size bathroom with a large tub and a kitchen with a double sink.

The rear has to sofas that fold up into the wall for toy hauling and the rear hatch can fold out into a deck.  These sofas can fold down flat next to each other to form a large bed.

A queen size overhead loft bed could also be placed in this space as well.

The GVWR on this camper is 13,825 pounds and the dry weight is 9,940 pounds.  This gives you almost 4,000 pounds of additional weight that you can add to the toy hauler.

The exterior width is 8’6″ which technically makes it illegal to operate on some U.S. roads and just within the limit on others.  The interior height on this toy hauler is 8’2″.  This makes its interior height taller than many homes.

You can expect to pay around $60,000.00 for this camper.

Class A Motorhomes

Class A motorhomes will almost always have the highest interior heights.  Expect class A motorhomes to start off with ceilings of at least seven feet.

Luxury models will be even taller and you may even have enough standing room to comfortably install a ceiling fan in your class A.

These are the best motorhomes for taller people looking for a rig to full-time in.

The increased height does not cause a decrease in stability in crosswinds as the truck is long enough and heavy enough to counteract the additional height.

Driving these huge busses does take some getting used to. Here are our very best tips on how to learn to drive a large motorhome .

12) The 2020 Cornerstone by Entegra Coach

This class A motorhome has 2 large slideouts and 2 smaller slideouts.  It has two sofas in the living room and a full-size fridge in the kitchen.

The bedroom features a king size bed and the master bathroom features a washer/dryer combo.

There is also a half bath located just off of the kitchen.  The dining table is small but it can be expanded to fit more people.

the weight on this vehicle is 54,000 pounds but since it’s a motorhome you won’t have to worry too much about this.  The exterior length is 45′ and the width is 101 inches.

You’ll get an interior height of seven feet in this motorhome and an exterior height of almost 13 feet.

Any higher and you wouldn’t be able to legally drive this on the highway. You can see more here about how camper height is measured .

Class C Motorhomes

A class C motorhome can sometimes offer high ceilings but sometimes it will not.

13) The Winnebago Vita 24F

This class C motorhome is 24’7″ and has a width of only 7’6″.

Although this RV isn’t very large, it still features a full-size bed, a dinette, and a full kitchen.  The bathroom shower is separate from the toilet and has modest dimensions of 24″ x 32″.

To offer more room between the kitchen and the dinette, the dinette slides out on the driver’s side.

While this motorhome might not be the most spacious, it does offer 7′ tall ceilings.  This is especially noteworthy considering the entire motorhome is less than 12′ including the area over top of the cab.

For those of you looking for a modern and easy to drive RV with a lot of headroom, the Vita might be your best bet.

These campers are built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis and have large windows and backup cameras as well as proximity sensors on the back.

These campers are easy to drive solo but can sleep up to five people comfortably.  This being said, there are only seatbelts in place for four people.

This motorhome sells for around $120,000.00.

Class B Motorhomes

If you’re looking for a motorhome with at least 7 feet interior height, you’ll probably want to stay away from a class B.  Through my research I was not able to find any class B motorhomes with high ceilings.

Expect most class B RVs to have around 6’3″ interior heights.

You can read more here about the differences between class A, B & C motorhomes .

If you’re looking for an RV with a lot of headroom, your best bet is to buy a fifth wheel camper or large travel trailer.

For a motorhome with a high ceiling, you’ll probably have to go with a class A motorhome or a class C motorhome.

That’s our list of the most innovative new lightweight travel trailers of 2022. These small RV models are big on affordability, convenience, and amenities.

As a bonus, the features are packaged in a small camper footprint. In most cases, you won’t need to purchase a tow vehicle for these trailers. To find out how much weight your car can pull, open your vehicle’s manual. Look for the maximum trailer towing capacity and you’ll find the answer.

Why lightweight travel trailers are in demand

If you’re thinking about buying one of these lightweight travel trailers, you’re in good company. Demand for big and small RV models is soaring.

For example, according to the latest issue of RV RoadSigns , the quarterly sales forecast published by the RV Industry Association (RVIA), RV manufacturers are still scrambling to meet consumer demand that started in 2020. This year, more than 600,000 new RVs will be sold. These figures are all-time high that will exceed the record-breaking RV sales of 2021.

“The remarkable production from the RV manufacturers and suppliers is nothing like we have ever seen before, and our new forecast shows the record-breaking streak will continue,” said RVIA President and CEO Craig Kirby.

The most-popular and top-selling single axle bunk model floorplan in the industry. Our commitment to all end-users is that we will always build this sub-3000 lb trailer with a dinette (and not a couch or bench seat – which prevents trailer pass through and a functional eating area for kids), a furnace, and a roof-mount A/C unit. This ensures true camping functionality that is critical for great family experiences. Note: other brands eliminate these keys features. #CampEasy

Specifications Definitions

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) – is the maximum permissible weight, including cargo, fluids, optional equipment and accessories that can be safely supported by a combination of all axles.

UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight)* - is the typical weight of the unit as manufactured at the factory. It includes all weight at the unit’s axle(s) and tongue or pin and LP Gas. The UVW does not include cargo, fresh potable water, additional optional equipment or dealer installed accessories. *Estimated Average based on standard build optional equipment.

CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity)** - is the amount of weight available for fresh potable water, cargo, additional optional equipment and accessories. CCC is equal to GVWR minus UVW. Available CCC should accommodate fresh potable water (8.3 lbs per gallon). Before filling the fresh water tank, empty the black and gray tanks to provide for more cargo capacity. **Estimated Average based on standard build optional equipment.

Each Forest River RV is weighed at the manufacturing facility prior to shipping. A label identifying the unloaded vehicle weight of the actual unit and the cargo carrying capacity is applied to every Forest River RV prior to leaving our facilities.

The load capacity of your unit is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading your unit.
