Used Caravan/Travel Trailer in Germany

12

Overview

Caravan/travel trailers are towable RV units that provide compact living space for camping, road trips, or seasonal stays. Sizes range from small teardrops to large family trailers with kitchens, bathrooms, sleeping areas and storage. They offer flexible, cost-effective travel compared with motorhomes but need a suitable tow vehicle and hitch. Used trailers vary widely—inspect the chassis, roof and seals, utilities, and documentation before buying.

FAQ

What should I inspect when buying a used travel trailer?

Check the chassis and frame for rust or damage, floor for soft spots, roof and seals for leaks, windows and doors, tires and brakes, electrical and plumbing systems, appliances, hitch and safety chains, VIN/title and maintenance history.

What tow vehicle and hitch rating do I need?

Match your tow vehicle's maximum towing capacity and tongue weight to the trailer's GVWR and tongue weight. You may need a weight-distribution hitch and an electric brake controller for heavier trailers.

How can I ship or deliver a trailer?

Options include driving it to the buyer, hiring an RV transport company, or using a flatbed carrier for non-roadworthy units. Use licensed carriers, secure the trailer properly, and confirm insurance and permits if oversized.

How much does shipping usually cost?

Costs vary by distance, size, weight and pickup/dropoff locations. Expect anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars domestically; get multiple quotes and confirm door-to-door versus terminal delivery.

What routine maintenance keeps a trailer roadworthy?

Regularly inspect and reseal roof seams, check tire pressure and tread, service wheel bearings, test brakes and lights, maintain batteries and propane systems, and run/service appliances and HVAC annually.

How do I winterize and store a travel trailer?

Drain water systems and add RV antifreeze, remove or disconnect batteries, clean and dry interior, protect seals and awnings, support or lift tires off the ground if long-term, and cover or store indoors if possible.
