Entry level trailer what qualifies.

I always hear the term "entry level" when folks talk about travel trailer. What makes/qualifies a trailer as entry level? Or is it just matter of brand's or a model within each brand, features or lack there of?

  • Just like there are starter homes there are starter (entry level) trailers & RVs of all types.

    These would be RVs that are lower cost, have fewer amenities and usually lower quality construction and materials. For example formica counter tops instead of stone or corian. Cabinets made out of luan or pressboard instead of hard wood. Very basic interiors.

    If these entry level RVs are well maintained you can still expect many years of trouble free camping.

    Generally you could probably say a 'tin & stick' travel trailer would qualify as entry level. As a rule, fewer bells and whistles compared to hard sided trailers.
