|---|---|---|---|
| 17 | 3127-5277 lbs | 3-7 | 20-25 feet |
Why we recommend the Forest River Flagstaff Micro Lite travel trailer: Although easily towable travel trailers weren’t part of the criteria, you can opt for the Flagstaff Micro Lite if you’d like something lightweight. The heaviest floorplan tips the scales at 5,277 and still manages to house as many as 7 people in the bunkhouse floorplans! No matter which floorplan you choose among the lot, each have a 20 to 25-feet footprint!
While we particularly were fond of the Flagstaff Micro Lite 19FDBH and the Flagstaff Micro Lite 25BHS, it goes without saying that others are noteworthy in their own way. You won’t be missing out on the what makes the luxurious aspects of a travel trailer, if any at all as it has 13,500 BTU ducted AC (which you can upgrade to 15,000 BTU), 44-inch family dinette, premium soundbar, full aluminum frame and many other impressive traits!

Apart from the fact that it has 16 different floorplans with a 3-9 sleeping capacity, it’s also quite lightweight. The Aerolite 2320BHSL floorplan has a bunkhouse and spans 27 feet, ensuring that you’ll have the maximum length and sleeping capacity.
If you’re not on the lookout for bunkhouse travel trailers in particular, it has 16 floorplans which provide you with a variety of other options too. All of these have the same feature set (for the most part). Some of the features that impressed us were the huge interior height of 82 inches and the power awning with LED lights. If you prefer upgrading your RVs to give you the most luxurious camping experiences, you’ll be happy to know that the Aerolite has quite a few upgrade options such as the 15,000 BTU AC and the solar prep in the premium package!

Why we recommend the Livin Lite Camplite travel trailer: If you prefer something lighter than our other 2 choices, then look no further than the Livin Lite Camplite travel trailer. It lives up to the name, as all of its floorplans range from 2118 to 3684 pounds (GVWR). Furthermore, the footprint ranges from 14 to 24 feet so whether you choose the Camplite CL16BHB or the Camplite CL21BHS, you shouldn’t have any problems parking it on a campground.
As far as features go, we were really impressed after finding out that the Camplite has a 6-sided aluminum superstructure and high-polished aluminum rims. However, you’ll probably be more interested in the 6 cubic feet refrigerator and the efficient LED lighting. Upgrading is also a strong suit of the Campsite, as you can add a respectable amount of upgrades ranging from 24″ LED TV to power awning with LED lighting. All in all, Livin Lite has given us more than a few reasons to consider this as one of the best bunkhouse travel trailers for campgrounds!
