RVs Under 3,500 lbs (SUV & Minivan Towable)
The 3,500 lb towing capacity is the magic number for most V6 SUVs and Minivans (like the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, and Dodge Grand Caravan). If you own one of these vehicles, you don't need to buy a truck to start camping. Our collection of RVs Under 3,500 lbs ensures you can tow safely without exceeding your vehicle's limits.
At Big Country RV, we are the experts in lightweight towing. We stock aerodynamic, easy-to-maneuver campers that pack incredible features into a small footprint. Browse our inventory of ultra-lites from top brands like Prolite, Flagstaff E-Pro, and Forest River Wolf Pup.
Stop guessing about weights. Use our trade-in appraisal tool to upgrade your tent for a trailer, or speak to our finance specialists about our affordable payment options.

Why Choose an RV Under 3,500 lbs?
This weight class is rapidly becoming one of the most popular in the industry for three key reasons.
1. Daily Driver Friendly
The biggest cost of RVing isn't always the trailer—it's the vehicle you need to pull it. By choosing a camper under 3,500 lbs, you can tow with the comfortable, fuel-efficient vehicle you already use for school runs and grocery getting. You save thousands by avoiding a truck upgrade.
2. Better Fuel Economy
Lightweight trailers aren't just lighter; they are often designed to be more aerodynamic. Brands like Prolite feature rounded "teardrop" or low-profile designs that cut through the wind, significantly reducing drag and saving you money at the gas pump compared to a traditional "box" trailer.
3. Easy Storage
Many of these units are compact enough to fit in a standard suburban driveway, and some low-profile models can even fit inside a standard garage (always check your height specs!). This saves you monthly storage fees and keeps your RV close by for spontaneous getaways.
