List of Travel Trailer Manufacturers / Brands

Within this large segment, there are considerably more manufacturers/brands of traditional travel trailers as compared to this list of 5th wheel manufacturers that I put together a couple weeks back. Their popularity is a result of several factors including their comparative affordability, wide range of available sizes including very small "tear drop" campers to +30 footers like the Airstream Classic. As summer approaches and people ready to head for their favorite warm weather RVing destinations, (staying cool with summer RV skirting skirting we hope!)

After, I cut the data some different ways [...]
RV Skirting in Summer: Does it Help Keep My Camper Cool?
RV Skirting in Summer: Does it Help Keep My Camper Cool? Most people who have used an RV for any length of time are familiar with a skirt. For those who may not know, an RV skirt is something placed around the base of your travel trailer, fifth wheel, or coach to protect the underside and provide insulation. The reason most people think to use skirting is to keep their pipes from freezing since RV floors are typically not well insulated. One thing we hear most often from our AirSkirts customers is, “my feet were warmer the first night!” What about summer though, is it worth skirting in warm weather? Does it help keep my camper [...]
