On The Go With An Easy Tow

Sunday, October 28, 2007

RVing doesn’t have to mean hauling with a big rig up front. Visitors to the 13th Annual Fall South Jersey RV Show, October 27 - 29, 2006, at the Atlantic City Convention Center, Atlantic City, NJ, will discover that lite weights----travel trailers and camping trailers----provide an easy tow.

Attendees will be able to choose from a variety of folding camping trailers and larger travel trailers, each with important features. Increasingly popular, however, are folding campers trailers.

Wanna know why? Consider what many RV dealers say.

The popularity of such lite weights is influenced, in part, by the ban many communities place on residential parking of large RVs, unless they are garage-able. Unlike travel trailers, folding camping trailers are garage-able – likely saving hundreds of dollars each year in storage fees, maintenance costs, and lost resale value.

Travel trailers---necessary to some RVers----nevertheless require larger tow vehicles with low fuel efficiency – an expense that’s incurred even when not towing. Folding camping trailers can be towed by smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles.

Also, large tow vehicle and travel trailer combinations can be difficult and time consuming to maneuver into many campsites – especially secluded or more natural sites. By contrast, folding camping trailers are far easier to maneuver – that means less time spent setting up camp and more time taking it easy.

And the big news is that today’s folding camping trailers offer large comfortable sleeping areas to private bathrooms and complete kitchens, from inside entertainment to outside cooking.

For example, among Fleetwood’s fleet of camping trailers are 1 model under 1,000 pounds, 5 models at or under 1,800 pounds, 11 models at or under 2,500 pounds and 15 models at or under 3,000 pounds.

Nevertheless, some RVers will prefer travel trailers and for them the show offers plenty of choice. For example, Surf RV of Lakewood also presents the Jayco Jay Feather Sport, billed as the nation’s number 1 lite weight travel trailer. It features a 3-burner range with 9000-BTU SuperBurner and piezo igniter, a range hood with light and exhaust fan and an oversized oven, a 5-cubic foot flush-mount refrigerator, sink/cutting board cover, high-rise mixing faucet and a microwave oven with carousel.

Oh, there’s more. Ed Hutchinson Sr., White Horse Leisure, Inc., 980 N Blackhorse Pike (Route 42), Williamstown, NJ, said the folks at Sunny Brook RV have a word or two about lite weight travel trailers, particularly their Sunset Creek line.

“They set the standard high,” said Hutchinson. “That's why they created and developed the AX5 aluminum-framed construction. This ultra-light structure means a smoother ride, less gas consumption, and a stronger body. Sunny Brook RV pioneered the aluminum Superstructure over 10 years ago because they care about quality. So if you're looking for the best built trailers in this market, see what's under the surface.”

Adding to the argument for lite weights is Scott's comment about , “Lightweight travel trailers have grown very popular in recent years for one reason . . . they simply make sense. No longer is it necessary to invest in a gas-guzzling tow vehicle to enjoy a retreat! In fact, many of the minivans, SUVs and small V-8s you drive everyday will easily tow a Surveyor! Surveyor utilizes construction techniques that greatly reduce weight while providing incredible durability and strength. In addition, aerodynamics, low centers of gravity and independent torsion ride suspension ensures superior towing and tracking. It all adds up to an enjoyable, carefree adventure.”

So go lightly to the 13th Annual Fall South Jersey RV Show and check out how easily you can be an RVer on the go without the big tow.

The 13th Annual Fall South Jersey RV Show will be open Friday, Oct. 27, from 12:00-7 p.m., on Saturday, Oct. 28, from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and on Sunday, Oct. 29, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
