There comes a time in every RV owner’s life when they consider selling their current rig in favor of something new. When doing so, they usually consider the pros and cons of moving up in size and whether or not a larger—and pricier—camper is worth the investment. Sometimes that means upgrading from a camper van to a Class A or C model or trading a small travel trailer for a bigger one. That is the exact subject of the video above, which is squarely aimed at RVers currently facing that specific dilemma.

The move from a small travel trailer to a larger one is a common upgrade path for many RVers, who often purchase an entry-level model when first getting started, but later find themselves wanting or needing something bigger. And because there are so many excellent options to choose from, the decision for which towable to go with next can be difficult. By moving up in size and price, buyers quickly discover models with dramatically improved build quality, a wider variety of floor plans, better integrated technology, and much more. This can lead to an overwhelming number of choices that can sometimes be difficult to wade through. 

If you find yourself currently considering making the move from a smaller travel trailer to a larger one, this video is a must-watch. Not only does it introduce viewers to some of the best mid-tier models, it shares some great advice for what to look for and consider when transitioning to the next phase of your RV lifestyle. The clip is nearly 30 minutes in length, however, so grab a snack and a drink, get comfortable, and sit back and enjoy.
