Travel Trailer Buying Tips

Travel trailers come in all different shapes and sizes. It’s nice having so many options, but it can make starting the shopping process a bit overwhelming!

Here at Pete’s RV - VA, we love helping people find their dream camper. Use the following tips to help narrow down the options, then visit our dealership to shop travel trailers for sale. We are located in Chesapeake and Salem, Virginia.

Consider the Travel Trailer Brand

Not all travel trailer manufacturers are equal. Some are well-known for quality while others frequently experience performance or maintenance issues. There are a few iconic companies that have stood the test of time, producing impressive models decade after decade.

For example, Keystone RV® is the top RV manufacturer in North America. They enjoy a reputation for constructing durable travel trailers that will last many years, making them a common choice for regular travelers. 

Do some research on which manufacturers see high customer satisfaction rates and include those companies in your search.

Make Your List of Must-Have Features

Travel trailers offer a wide range of potential feature options. It's common for buyers to pay extra for features they don't need or pass on features they later want. Make yourself a list of features you want before you visit a travel trailer dealership. 

Maybe you want a bare-bones model to keep the cost low. Maybe you want luxurious features such as a skylight over the dining room or external speakers so you can enjoy music around the campfire. 

Think about the features that would best suit your travel style, then shop travel trailers accordingly.
