Can you believe 2024 is here? Starting in January a whole new lineup of the best small camping trailers arrived for us all to drool over. Today, we’ll check out seven of the best with video tours and specs for each camper we love.
Tour the 7 Best Small Camping Trailers of 2024
Like always, some of the newest RVs are big rig motorhomes, travel trailers, and toy haulers with all the bells and whistles. But in 2024, we have a good number of small camping trailers to choose from. They’re perfect for if you prefer to skip the big truck for a large fifth wheel, or expense of a motorhome. Plus, they tend to be lighter weight and easier for light trucks and SUVs to pull (though one particular model on the list below definitely is not).
Additionally, small trailers are nice for adventurers who like to wander off-road. Or, if you want to store your RV in your garage, some of these small camping trailers can do that, too.
Buying the best small travel trailer for your needs is complicated. So that’s where this trailer roundup comes into play. Below, we present the top small camping trailers in 2024. Pick any from this list and you really can’t go wrong with the comfort and longevity they provide!

Airstream Trade Wind
By now, most of us are familiar with Airstream trailers. These iconic trailers have been around for nearly a hundred years and their construction continues to be some of the best on the market. This makes the all-new Airstream Trade Wind trailer an especially exciting addition to the 2024 travel trailer lineup, and although it is on the longer side, we think it deserves a place on this list.
Airstream Trade Wind Features:
- Base MSRP: $129,400
- Hitch weight: 725 lbs
- Gross vehicle weight rating: 7,300 lbs
- Unloaded vehicle weight: 6,200 lbs

In addition to the high-quality Airstream construction we’ve all come to know and expect, the Trade Wind offers a number of modern features that make this the most comfortable and high-tech Airstream trailer yet. The fully inverter-supported electrical system means you can run all appliances without a shore power hookup, and the recirculating water heater and optional composting toilet help prevent water waste.
As mentioned in this Camper Report Trade Wind review, we also appreciate that this rig is internet ready and includes smart TVs with Bluetooth capability, meaning staying connected is a cinch even when camping off-grid.
2024 Living Vehicle HD24
Living Vehicle is by far the most modern and innovative RV manufacturing company out there. This company completely redesigns their units every single year, always integrating the newest technology. The 2024 Living Vehicle trailer shows how the company has outdone itself.
All of the Living Vehicle trailers are made with high quality materials. The build is top-notch—even the storage doors are heavy duty!—meaning the rig will hold up for years.
Living Vehicle HD24 Features:
- Base MSRP: $299,995
- Hitch weight: 1,100–1,300 lbs
- Gross vehicle weight rating: 14,000–16,000 lbs
- Unloaded vehicle weight: 11,000–13,000 lbs
- Exterior length: 24 feet 2 inches
- Full exterior height: 11 feet 6 inches
- Exterior width: 8 feet 6 inches
- Freshwater tank capacity: 100 gallons
One of the most notable features of the Living Vehicle is the enormous solar array, which extends beyond the roof onto dual awnings and even into deployable solar panels. This, in conjunction with an amazing battery bank and an onboard generator, makes it easy to go off-grid for extended periods of time.
We love that the 2024 Living Vehicle includes a mini-split A/C and heater, meaning you can have complete control over the climate of your rig without draining your batteries. The spa-style bathroom is gorgeous, and the low-flow shower + composting toilet option helps ensure you never run out of water. We also adore the fold-down deck on the outside of the trailer. There’s also an optional roof rack and awning.
As mentioned in the Living Vehicle review by Camper Report, this is not one of the most lightweight travel trailers. This one is extremely heavy, so be prepared for that with a hefty tow vehicle!
