Buying a camping trailer is an exciting step toward enjoying the great outdoors in Ontario. With so many options available, it's essential to find the perfect camping trailer for sale that meets your needs. Whether you're new to camping or a seasoned adventurer, this guide will help you navigate the process of purchasing a camping trailer in Ontario.

Finding the Best Camping Trailers for Sale

When searching for camping trailers for sale, it's important to consider your specific needs and preferences. At Smithville RV, we offer a variety of new and used camping trailers to suit any budget and lifestyle. Whether you're looking for a compact trailer for weekend getaways or a spacious model for extended trips, we have something for everyone.

One tip I learned the hard way is to always visit the dealership in person. Pictures online can only show so much, and seeing the trailer up close helps you get a real feel for the space and features. Plus, you can ask all the questions you want and get immediate answers.

Types of Camping Trailers

When it comes to camping trailers, there are several types to choose from. Each offers unique features and benefits, making it crucial to understand what each type has to offer.

Travel Trailers

Travel trailers are versatile and come in various sizes. For example, the 2024 Forest River Salem Hemisphere 322VIEW is a luxurious option perfect for couples. It features a king-size bed, a full kitchen, and a spacious living area. One of the highlights of travel trailers is their ability to provide a comfortable and homely experience, no matter where you are.

Fifth Wheels

Fifth wheels are larger and typically offer more living space. They are designed to be towed by pickup trucks equipped with a special hitch in the truck bed. While we don't have any fifth wheels in stock at Smithville RV currently, they are worth considering if you plan extended stays.

Toy Haulers

Toy haulers are perfect for those who love bringing along their ATVs or dirt bikes. The 2024 Forest River Salem 33TS is an excellent example, offering a spacious interior with three slide-outs and an outdoor kitchen. Imagine setting up a BBQ after a day of riding – it’s the perfect blend of adventure and comfort.

Teardrop Trailers

Teardrop trailers, like the 2024 nuCamp Barefoot, are compact and lightweight, making them easy to tow. They are ideal for solo travelers or couples looking for a simple, efficient setup. With features like a wet bath and a fully equipped kitchen, the Barefoot offers all the essentials in a stylish, retro package.

Key Features to Consider

When shopping for camping trailers for sale, it’s essential to consider several factors:

Size and Weight

Ensure your vehicle can tow the trailer you choose. The 2024 Keystone Bullet 310RES, for example, has a dry weight of 7,870 lbs, making it suitable for most midsize SUVs and trucks.

Features and Amenities

Think about your must-haves. Do you need a full kitchen, extra sleeping space, or an outdoor shower? The 2024 Forest River Salem Hemisphere 322VIEW, with its tankless water heater and solar power system, provides a blend of luxury and practicality.

Budget

Set a clear budget. New trailers like the ones at Smithville RV come with the latest features and warranties but are more expensive. Used trailers can be more affordable but require careful inspection. Our inventory includes both options to fit different budgets.
