TAKE THE ROAD A LITTLE LESS TRAVELED
PROS, CONS, MAKES, AND MODELS
In this ebook, you’ll discover useful information and
comparisons of a variety of lightweight recreational vehicles.
As a family that has enjoyed the RV and camping lifestyle for
many years, we want to share what we’ve learned. Lightweight
RVs are a great choice for many campers because they’re easy
to tow, even in hilly terrain, which is good news for those of us
who like to take the road a little less traveled.
If you’re just beginning your RV adventure or retiring the “big rig” for a more fuel-
efficient choice, you’ll find helpful information in these pages on the pros and cons of
choosing a lightweight RV. We’ll define what a lightweight RV is exactly, the various
materials that make up construction of vehicles in this class, and requirements for
towing. We’ll also highlight our two most popular lightweight RVs. You can compare
model specifications, features, towing needs, and price range. We’ll look at:
• Bullet 274BHS
• Wildwood Heritage Glen 282RK

WILL THERE BE ROOM FOR MY S’MORES?
THE SWAY FACTOR KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Lightweight RVs are exactly what their name implies, RVs constructed with lightweight materials and
components. Their reduced weight means they don’t require a fuel-guzzling, heavy-duty towing vehicle.
That’s great news! But if you choose to tow your new RV with a lighter-duty vehicle, remember there
will be limitations to the total weight you can tow. It’s easy to stow several hundred pounds of food and
gear, especially if you’re going for more than a weekend jaunt. So, keep that weight limit in mind when
you’re packing your marshmallows and graham crackers.
If towing a vehicle in windy conditions is a
concern, make sure you ask about the “sway
factor” of each model you’re considering for
purchase. Often, lightweight RVs are effected
more greatly by wind and passing trucks on the
highways than standard recreational vehicles. Do
you plan to travel through a mountain pass in the
Rockies or over the straits of Mackinac on The
Mighty Mac? Then a lightweight RV may not be
the best choice for you.
Before you even visit a dealership, know the
basics of owning a lightweight RV. Not only will
you narrow down the features that are most
important to you and your family, but you’ll
also be prepared to ask the right questions when
talking to a professional.

WHAT EXACTLY IS A LIGHTWEIGHT RV?There are two categories of lightweight RVs: lightweight and ultra-lightweight. The heaviest trailers
in this category top out at 8,000 pounds. New materials and technology, such as fiberglass panels and
lightweight insulation, have paved the way for this special breed of RV made for easy towing and lower
fuel consumption.
Lightweight RVs don’t require a heavy-duty towing vehicle because of their design and construction,
opening up the RV experience to many more camping enthusiasts. Excluding pop-up campers,
lightweight RVs can be classified into these styles:
Mini (Lightweight) Travel Trailer
Lightweight, Expandable Hybrid RV
Lightweight Sport Utility RVs (aka: Toy Haulers)
Lightweight Fifth-Wheel Trailers
Mini lightweight
travel trailers tend to
be under 23 feet long
and the newest models
offer designer-grade
interiors, slide-outs,
bunk beds, and built-
in generators.
Expandable hybrid
RVs feature the rigid
body of a travel trailer
with expanding canvas
areas, usually sleeping
compartments off the
front and/or back. You
get the full canvas-
camping experience
with less setup time
and a little more
between you and the
elements.
The Sport Utility RV
is often referred to
as a “Toy Hauler”
because of the garage
area built into the
rear. This space
can be used for
hauling motorcycles,
ATVs, and personal
watercraft.
The fifth-wheel trailer
gets its name from the
large hitch pin that
attaches the trailer
to a special mount in
the bed of a pickup
truck, making it easier
and more stable to
maneuver than a
travel trailer.

PROS
CONS
There are many pros to owning a lightweight RV. Their light materials and sturdy construction makes
them towable by a variety of vehicles. But don’t be fooled by their smaller footprint. Many models offer
the latest in design features and amenities such as high-end interiors, bunk beds, and even TV options.
Lightweight RVs are easy to tow by a variety of vehicles including standard pick-up trucks, SUVs,
and some minivans so you can save a little money by not investing in a heavy-duty towing vehicle.
Score! But remember to refer to the owner’s manual of your towing vehicle for the maximum towing
capacity. You want to select a vehicle that can tow your RV when it is packed; don’t choose a tow
vehicle based on the dry weight of your RV.
Lightweight RVs are more fuel efficient because they weigh less overall than other choices.
Additionally, this category of RVs often has an aerodynamic design meaning less wind resistance
during driving or towing. Again, saving you precious fuel!
And if you choose to purchase a lightweight travel trailer, you will also have the convenience of a
vehicle to explore the local area once you set up your “house” at the campsite.
If you plan to be a full-time RVer, participate in extended trips, or travel to regions with extreme
temperatures, then a lightweight RV may not be for you. Smaller than their standard counterparts,
there is less interior space for you and your family, as well as any recreational items that you may
have thought about bringing on your trip.
The lightweight construction may not be as durable as standard-weight recreational vehicles and
may not hold up to extensive traveling. Additionally, the materials used are less efficient at
controlling climate, so if you’re in the desert Southwest or the snowy Midwest you are probably
going to feel the impact of those temperatures.
You may also want to consider your skill level at towing and maneuvering your lightweight RV.
Lightweight RVs are more affected by high winds, so you will need to be confident in your ability to
stay safe on the roads.
PRO TIP Take extra care by purchasing a weight distribution and sway control hitch, such as Blue-Ox Swaypro.

WHERE TO STARTNow that you know the basics, where should you start your RV research? Do some exploring on the
Internet, talk to other RV owners, and take advantage of the knowledgeable sales people at your
dealership of choice. Also, ask yourself these questions to narrow down your lightweight RV options:
• Do you love the outdoors, including varying temperatures?
• Do you prefer a quick camp setup?
• What is your total budget, thinking about not only your RV but fuel and supplies too?
• Can you tow with your current vehicle or do you need to make an additional purchase?
• How much room do you need for you and your family?
• Do you prefer a simple experience or all the comforts of home?
Keep reading for a quick comparison of RV Wholesale Superstore’s most popular models in the
lightweight RV category.

LIGHTWEIGHT RVS ARE A GREAT CHOICE FOR YOUR CAMPING ADVENTURE
WHY A LIGHTWEIGHT RV?
SO MANY OPTIONS!
The open road is calling! Is a lightweight RV right for you? Remember, lightweight RVs don’t require
a heavy-duty towing vehicle because of their design and construction—opening up the RV lifestyle to
many more people. They’re a great choice for many campers because they’re easy to tow, even in hilly
terrain. Plus, new materials and technology, such as fiberglass panels and lightweight insulation, help

Lightweight RVs are easy to tow by a variety of vehicles including standard pick-up trucks, SUVs,
and some minivans so you can save a little money by not investing in a heavy-duty towing vehicle.
Their lightweight and aerodynamic construction is also more fuel efficient because they reduce wind
resistance and weigh less overall than other choices.
Again, a lightweight RV may not be right for you if you plan to do extensive traveling or plan to visit
places that experience extreme temperatures. Because the construction is designed to reduce weight,
it often is less efficient at controlling the interior climate. Lightweight RVs are also more susceptible to
high winds.
When it comes to selecting a lightweight RV that fits your own unique needs, you can choose from
many styles and models. From mini travel trailers and expandable hybrids to toy haulers and
lightweight fifth-wheels, there is something for everyone. Maybe you are new to the RV lifestyle and
are looking for a lower cost option that still provides space for the whole family? A mini lightweight
trailer may fit your needs with slide-outs and bunk beds. Or maybe you travel with a group of outdoor
enthusiasts and spend your days racing jet skis across various lakes. Then a toy hauler or sport utility
RV may be the best choice for you.
Whatever you decide, the knowledgeable staff at RV Wholesale Superstore can help you. Our most
popular lightweight RVs, the Bullet 274BHS and the Wildwood Heritage Glen 282RK, offer stylish
