Lightweight Travel Trailers & SUV Towable RVs
You don't need a heavy-duty pickup truck to go camping. The Lightweight Travel Trailer segment is the fastest-growing category in the industry, designed specifically to be towed by the vehicle you already own. Whether you drive a V6 SUV (like a Highlander, Explorer, or Grand Cherokee), a Minivan, or a mid-size truck, we have a camper that fits your tow rating.
At Big Country RV, we stock the Ottawa Valley's largest selection of "Ultra-Lite" and aerodynamic trailers. These units use advanced aluminum construction and composite materials to cut weight without cutting features. Browse top-rated models from Flagstaff, Grand Design, Prolite, and Forest River.
Stop guessing about your tow capacity. Use our Tow Guide assistance in-store or speak to our sales team to match your vehicle perfectly.

Why Choose a Lightweight RV?
Lightweight trailers save you money and stress in three big ways.
1. Tow with Your Current Vehicle
The biggest cost of RVing isn't always the trailer—it's the truck. By choosing a lightweight model (often under 3,500 - 5,000 lbs), you avoid the need to trade in your comfortable family SUV for a gas-guzzling heavy-duty pickup.
2. Better Fuel Economy
Lightweight trailers aren't just lighter; they are more aerodynamic. Brands like Flagstaff E-Pro and Prolite feature rounded profiles that cut through the wind, significantly reducing drag and saving you money at the gas pump on every trip.
3. Easy to Maneuver
Shorter, lighter trailers are much more forgiving for new drivers. They stop faster, turn tighter, and are easier to back into narrow campsites. If you are nervous about towing, "Lightweight" is the right category for you.
