They’re relatively inexpensive, offer pretty decent features and can open up the door to the RV lifestyle for someone who may not have a large tow vehicle or even want to spend a lot of money. Trailers like this are a great choice for some people. That also means that, other than the dinette, there is no place to sit inside this trailer. Our solution has been to bring along a plastic folding table that can raise to counter height – but you’re not going to be able to do this here since the bed is always down. One side of the room is a big cabinet.Ī disadvantage in a floor plan like this is the lack of counter space in the kitchen, which is true of our trailer as well. There is also a nice-sized shower and a surprising amount of storage. Since the entire width of the rear of the trailer is the bathroom, it’s quite spacious with lots of stretch-out room when sitting in the place where executive decisions tend to be made.

I would be surprised if you could find a gas/electric fridge on any RV in 3-5 years. This is a similar floor plan to my own trailer except mine has a Murphy bed (different brand) and the little things Starcraft did to open up the interior of this trailer made a difference in how it felt.Īs with so many RVs nowadays, this trailer comes with a 12-volt compressor-based refrigerator with the gas/electric model being an option. What I liked when I sat in this trailer is that there is a shoe rack right at the door and, despite the diminutive size of the trailer, there is an open feel to it. Furthermore, as a traditional wood-framed aluminum-skinned trailer it is quite affordable with an MSRP of $20,162.ĭespite its size, I was surprised how many features were included with this trailer, such as pocket-screwed cabinets, a fully walkable roof, magnetic baggage door catches, no floor heat registers and some other features that might come as a surprise in a trailer at this price point. If your checklist has things like a walk-around queen bed, decent-sized bathroom and reasonable storage this trailer makes a lot of sense. This small, lightweight travel trailer offers a lot of usability in a compact package. In fact, something like the Starcraft Autumn Ridge 182RB would make sense for a lot of RV prospects. While their budget and tow vehicle dictated something small, their taste leaned toward a much larger trailer.

When I was selling RVs, I was surprised at how few people would look at the smaller rigs even though they came in with small tow vehicles. They are intended only as a brief overview of the vehicle, not a comprehensive critique, which would require a thorough inspection and/or test drive.
