8 Smallest Trailers with Slide-out Floorplans that Offer Unrestricted Living Space

The most obvious way to expand the interior size of any camper would be to throw in a couple of slide outs, but since these mechanisms are quite pricey, we usually see them on gigantic luxury models that already have plenty of space inside. Luckily, this isn’t always the case and, in this episode, we gathered a lineup of the smallest trailers with slide outs that make this fun feature accessible even to the owners of the most compact towing vehicles.

Mobi Lodge is a South African family operated manufacturer that introduces a new concept of traditional small caravans, by maximizing the size of your base camp to the fullest. Their current 15 ft flagship, Continental, has a large slide out.

The major reason to consider the R-Pod travel trailer family from the Indiana-based Forest River is the ultra-wide variety floorplans developed for the model. Including dealers-specific builds, there are 2 base and 11 expandable models, with the latter featuring a single slideout each.

Currently a part of Thor’s Industries, KZ RV has been in business for almost 50 years, offering a wide selection of travel trailers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers. The Classic is the smallest and the lightest model in the company’s range, while its 181BH floorplan is probably the most versatile trailer in the mix.

Established in 1965, the California Lance Camper is known for making eco-friendly campers, using the industry’s latest technologies, such as Azdel and Lite-Ply. However, if you are looking for the most compact trailers from the brand with decent interior room, the 1475 S and 1575 models are the way to go.

The Hummingbird range of travel trailers consists of five models, out of which 3 come featuring a side slideout and measuring almost 20 feet in length. Each is constructed on a Norco frame and is equipped with an American-made Dexter single axle with rubber-torsion suspension.

If other trailers from this lineup only expand their premises via mechanically controlled body extensions, the French Beaur 3X is basically a one-piece slide out all on its own. This caravan previews how the future Moon and Mars colonies.

Yet another RV manufacturer from under the Forest River Inc umbrella, Coachmen, rarely goes small with their campers. Within their roster, the 20 feet Catalina Summit Series 7 is the smallest model to feature a slide out.

Hitch Hotel Traveler is an expandable travel trailer with two wheels, that measures less than 39 inches wide when folded. The Traveler features a single slideout, that effectively doubles its interior room, allowing it to sleep two.

Would you consider a smaller trailer equipped with a slide-out or should this space-increasing technology be reserved to larger, higher priced campers?

The Mobi Lodge campers truly are things of beauty, they're very well designed and constructed, and intended for some of the most impressive off road locations in the world.

I love the one with handicap accessible! Someday soon I will get one. Not camping because I'm in a wheelchair has taken one of the most enjoyable part of my life. However, I need to get a truck to pull it with and still carry my electric chair.

We have truly enjoyed 18TO with large slide out. Forest River builds poorly but no major problems yet. The trailer pulls very well with Tundra, as home is northern California mountains. I wanted it small for off road camping and so it works excellent and most camp sites are 20' or less in mountain. We have added lots extra power and gas. It's an awsome floor plan for two people and off road camping...
Be safe and drive careful, have fun!

I've had slides on a 28' 5th wheel. Did not like them; they were just one more thing to maintain and some campsites were just too small to allow them to fully extend. I now have an 18.5' Springdale mini with no slides. It has more than enough room for two adults and two dogs and is by far, my favorite camper!

I loved seeing all of these very cute RVs! They seem to be changing the insides to a sleeker & more appealing design, instead of the standard & boring designs. Thank you for sharing all of the different models including info & pricing.

The Beaur X is amazing! A real leap forward in camper technology.

I like the HR slide out just because it seems much more practice for me. I can’t travel for long because of my job and prefer to be out in nature when I can. Hotels are ok but can get really expensive. All I want is somewhere to sleep where I feel more secure about where in sleeping in, not a tent. Especially when traveling alone. And it’s light weight is something my sedan can pull!! This will get a lot of younger people wanting to go out and camp.

That one that expands 80 square feet to 300 square feet!! Or something like that. That’s really neat. I think slide outs are really nice. I’d want one. Enjoyed the video!
❤️💜💚

I think these little trailers are cute and cool. I love the fact of the slide out on them so much better. Love it.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[natbarr]

Omg. I was expecting smaller trailers here. Guess I have the smallest slide out trailer on earth here. 😂.

[stevenbathurst]

I have always liked the lance, the tiny trailer that expands out is just a gimmick. It’s just a bed people want a livable space they can be comfortable in. Nice

[zoeys]

I liked no 6 it was very innovative and liveable 🤗

5:20 JayCo has discontinued their “Hummingbird” line of travel trailers; I forget the name of what they replaced them with... 🤷🏽‍♂️

[arielparker]

You need to show more of the inside of these things.

[shopart]

Leakage is the main issue. I had them I don’t like them. But they do add floor area which is nice. I had three slides on a motor home the two smaller were great the larger one was always a problem and not really fixable.

This guy again. How someone with a more pleasing voice

[yongshin]

Nice to meet you. I also make my own travel trailer. It was a very fun video. Thank you very much ^ ^

[redangel]

So wish I could afford one of these! Would beat the tent I live in. Sucks to be a homeless senior!

[jobellecollie]

I'm looking for a camper that can be towed by a full size van, but is large enough to be handicap adapted. Is there any brands for h/c campers?
