Thinking about doing a family caravan of aluminum trailers in the middle of the winter holiday season? Most people might be more inclined to travel in RVs if they are going on a road trip to meet up with other family for Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. However, traveling with an aluminum trailer has many benefits over an RV, even in winter. Here are just a few.
Aluminum Trailers Collect and Retain Heat Naturally
Aluminum trailers collect heat as you roll on down the road. They are, after all, like giant soda pop cans on wheels. If you also leave the shades up on your trailer's windows, it will be like an oven in there when you finally park your trailer for the night. That means you will not have to run the heater endlessly to keep warm if you stay in your trailer in a colder state. (With an RV, you have to constantly use energy to heat the RV and then use a space heater or some other means to stay warm at night.)
Aluminum Trailers Require No Additional Gas or Fuel
Because you are relying on the fact that a trailer needs no extra fuel or gas to move and your own vehicle pulls it along, you save money. The only travel expense regarding transportation that you have to budget for is the fuel for your towing vehicle. Since an RV consumes a lot more gas and requires more fuel of different types to do what you need it to do, you spend more traveling with the RV than just an aluminum trailer.
Aluminum Trailers Can Be Parked and Left Behind While You Drive Around
An RV has to go wherever you drive it. When you park it, you park the whole vehicle. At least with an aluminum trailer, you can unhitch the trailer, park it on your relative's yard or driveway, and then drive around in your vehicle. The trailer is less cumbersome and less of a hassle to use.
Aluminum Trailers Take up Less Space
Additionally, when you are traveling with an aluminum trailer, they take up less space than an RV. If your relatives are concerned about how and where you will park your trailer, you can assure them that the space you need really is not much at all. Even the smallest RVs cannot make that boast—the RVs will take up most of someone's driveway, leaving little room for the other relatives' cars.
