Lightweight travel trailers Part II

Dutchmen and Keystone RV manufacturers are part of Thor industries and both sell lightweight travel trailers. The most recommended light Keystone travel trailer is the Zeppelin. It is a small travel trailer and is designed to be towed by minivans, SUVs, v-8s and small trucks. The Zeppelin offers a variety of features and floor plans that mimic high end motorhome and fifth wheel models but the price is very reasonable. Light Dutchmen travel trailers are easy to tow, have a variety of floor plans (choose between non-slide and small slide), and are affordable. Base weights start at 4,200 pounds and come loaded with the standard features found in larger travel trailers. Dutchman also makes Aerolite, the original aluminum framed lightweight travel trailer, at under 3,500 pounds. The Aerolite offers spacious living and expanded storage.

My husband and I bought an 18 foot Zeppelin in 2005 and absolutely LOVE it! We searched for 2 years before deciding on this travel trailer. We wanted something small enough to be towed by our Dodge Dakota pickup. We also wanted lots of easily accessable storage, a walk-around queen size bed, full bathroom and counter space. This Zeppelin has all of this and more! Most units of this size on the market have the bed tucked away in the corner, next to the bathroom and you have to crawl back into a cave-like area each night. This is not the case with the Zeppelins. The only drawback to this small trailer is the lack of a dinette. There is a snack bar with 2 stools, but it isn't very functional. This doesn't bother us because when we are camping, we always eat outside at the picnic table anyway. We still love to look at other small rv's at the trailer shows in our area each year and 4 years later, have not found anything that compares in quality, good looks, style and function of our Zeppelin. It has all the features and amenities of a much larger, more expensive unit...greatest investment we ever made!
