Besides the tow hitch and generator, the camper also has streamlined under-floor storage, an overhead skylight, screened windows, and an electric fan. The best bit is that you can even add more features such as cargo racks and solar panels from an à la carte menu for an extra cost.

Tow and behold! The fabulous, stylish, and practical Escapod Topo trailer is at the top of this list. This amazing Outdoorsy teardrop travel trailer is custom built to your needs, which means you aren’t renting a pre-built trailer design. You can customize this camper to the hilt, from the accessories to the colors. Even then, the teardrop comes fully stocked with a kitchen with a stove, solar panels, an outside shower, a tow hitch, and leveling jacks. What’s more, it also has a deep-cycle battery, a Fan-Tastic fan, a spectacular awning, and a Yeti 65 cooler, one of the best YETI Tundra coolers ever. If that wasn’t enough, there are even crossbars for storing your extra equipment and gear.

Plus, the camper comes with a ton of add-ons such as a propane heater, a rooftop tent, and even a portable fridge, among many others. However, what we like most is the ample space for living and storage, unlike many teardrops.

How To Choose The Best Outdoorsy Travel Trailers To Rent?

Weight

The dry weight of travel trailers should ideally range between 1,500 and 6,000 lbs. However, this usually excludes batteries, gas, water, or additional accessories such as racks and rooftop tents. So, you need to pay attention to the camper’s dry weight for determining the vehicular payload. The maximum total weight that a trailer can safely weigh is the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating). So, these need to range anywhere between 2,200 to 10,000 lbs. This number is required for also determining how many people can sleep on the roof or inside the cabin.

Tires and clearance

Travelers who plan to go off-road on rugged terrain should rent trailers with off-road tires and generous ground clearance. What’s more, they’ll also need an articulating hitch so that they don’t topple over on uneven terrain. Plus, sturdier tires can also provide better traction on slick roads with rain or snow.

Sleeping space

Good trailers should offer space for two people to sleep at the minimum. While some designs include a couch-to-bed conversion option, others have sleeping areas with a nonconvertible queen bed. There are even trailers with structures on the roof that support rooftop tents. Here are the best rooftop tents. What’s more, some larger travel trailers feature a wide range of comfortable overnight options ranging from fold-down Murphy beds to daytime couches and dinettes transforming into a bed. Also, wider and taller people need to pay attention to the specific bed size. Finally, remember that not all mattresses are created equal, either.

If you’re traveling with tots, then consider investing in the best toddler travel beds too.

Other areas

If you’re a larger group, then look for an Outdoorsy travel trailer with an indoor lounge space that works as a hangout space during the day and sleeping space at night. Plus, many of them even have awnings, which is great to convert the lounge into an indoor-outdoor space during the evenings. Do you want to do extensive cooking during your travels? You’ll have to consider larger and pricier travel trailers that have compact but full indoor kitchens with appliances, a stove, and even a dining space. However, if you’re on a budget, some trailers even come with fold-out outdoor kitchens.

A bathroom is a must if you aren’t comfortable with an adult travel potty. That said, the more spacious travel trailers on our list, including Outdoorsy teardrop and hiker trailer options, have indoor bathrooms with a standup shower and toilet. While smaller travel trailers don’t have indoor bathrooms, a few do have outdoor showerheads with warm water hookups.

Doors and windows

Larger doors and windows can help with access and views and allow more light in and help make a space feel bigger. However, invest in shades and drapes to block the light during the day. Sometimes, even campground lamps and moonlight can be really strong, so light-blocking blinds are a must. A good idea is slide-down shades combined with bug screens. That way, airflow can be kept up without worrying about creepy crawlies making their way in.

Utilities

Finally, and most importantly, you need to consider how much resources and energy you’ll require between trips to a store, gas station, or an overnight stay with permanent power. So, look for battery power in an Outdoorsy travel trailer, which can charge phones, run fans, and indoor and outdoor lights at night. Moreover, some travel trailers even have prewired solar inlets to charge off solar panels. Also, pay attention to the specific capacity for water and gas carry of every trailer and see whether it’s enough for all of you. Finally, perks and bonuses include carbon monoxide indoor smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.

What makes a good off-road trailer?

Whether small or large, the chassis is the foundation of any good off-road camper trailer. A full chassis is what ensures strength. That’s because a too-heavy or a too-soft one combined with the suspension corrugations will shake everything to pieces within. It could also cause the trailer’s components to fatigue and break.

Is it safe to rent from Outdoorsy?

Outdoorsy is a safe and excellent space for RV and travel trailer renters everywhere. Not only do you get travel trailers of your choice, but also you get solid insurance, hassle-free transactions, and free roadside assistance too.

What type of travel trailers do most people rent?

From what we observed on outdoorsy, almost 2/3rds of all travel trailers rented were the longer ones that measured 25 feet or longer. The rest were travel trailers between 10 and 24 feet in length.
