Most of its floorplans have a sleeping capacity of 3-4 people, making it ideal for couples, but at the same time it is 20-25 feet long, giving you a spacious interior. We recommend checking out the Flagstaff Micro-Lite 19FD and the Flagstaff Micro-Lite 25FBLS.

Why we recommend the Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite travel trailer: Another amazing travel trailer from Forest River’s stables is the Rockwood Mini Lite, which features 18 floorplans, and many are fit for couples always on their way somewhere. It’s also fairly lightweight as most of its floorplans are under 5,000 pounds and arrow d 20-25 feet long footprint. We suggest you check out the Rockwood Mini Lite 1909S and the Rockwood Mini Lite 2506S in particular.
The Rockwood Mini Lite doesn’t disappoint as it covers every feature you could expect from a decent travel trailer, and then some!

|---|---|---|---|
| 21 | 4450-8095 lbs | 4-9 | 26-37 feet |
Why we recommend the Heartland North Trail travel trailer: If you’re looking for travel trailers that have additional space than the other choices, then the North Trail should be perfect for you. Many of its floorplans are over 30 feet and still have a sleeping capacity of 4, making it one of the travel trailers with the best space to sleeping capacity ratio. We recommend checking out the North Trail 21 FBS and the North Trail 32 RETS King.
In terms of features, we found the North Trail to be a very impressive unit. It’s got designer accent walls, a monitor panel in the bathroom, decorative glass inserts and many other features you don’t usually find in a travel trailer in this price range. You can upgrade this camper when you’re ready to. You have the option to choose a different ‘package’ that the company offers, along with some standalone options too! All in all, you can understand why we believe Heartland makes one of the most quality travel trailers out there, especially for couples on the go!

#5. Forest River R-Pod Travel Trailer
Your Featherlight Weekend Camper!
View All Forest River Forest River R-Pod Travel Trailer Floorplans!
| No. of Floorplans | Unloaded Weight | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 2342-2836 lbs | 2-4 | 18-20 feet |
Why we recommend Forest River R-Pod travel trailer: It might seem like we’re overdoing it with travel trailers from Forest River, but the fact that the R-pod is one of the smallest, most featherlight travel trailers gives it the great credit it deserves. If it’s just the two of you, the size will be perfect! It can also handle 2 more people, having floorplans with bunk beds if you’ve decided to bring friends along.
Don’t let the small size convince you that Forest River has cut corners on features. While we liked the bunkhouse on the R-Pod RP-172 and the U-Shaped Dinette on the R-Pod RP-190, they otherwise share the same features. You also have the option to add a 13,500 BTU air conditioner, a convection microwave, a 24-inch flat screen LED TV among many other features, making this a versatile travel trailer as well!
Key Features:
- 9 different floor plans available
- Water heater by-pass system
