That moment transformed how I always travel. I woke up to foggy mountains reflected in a perfect alpine lake, coffee boiling on my camp stove while my family still slept sweetly in our Infanta trailer. Having your home-away-from-home hitched behind you, ready to pitch up camp anywhere adventure calls for, is rather wonderful.
Our Infanta trailer has been our portal to release for the previous five years. From weekend getaways to month-long cross-country trips, towable RVs have transformed family experiences with the great outdoors. This book will help you negotiate everything from choosing your first towable RV to learning the art of off-grid living if you’re thinking about joining the trailer camping movement.
Why Would One Choose Towable Trailers Above Motorhomes?
Cost Control That Makes Sense
When we initially started looking into RVs, the price shock of Class A motorhomes almost destroyed our aspirations of camping before we began. A comparable RV would have cost nearly three times what we paid for our Infanta trailer. For weekend warriors like us, the arithmetic didn’t make sense.
The big blow, though, is that insurance, maintenance, and storage expenses for towable RVs are far less. While neighbors with motor houses shell out hundreds monthly for storage facilities, our Infanta trailer fits well in our driveway year-round.
Flexibility: The Advantage Changing Game
See this: Although the hiking trailhead is fifteen miles distant via meandering mountain roads, you have located the ideal lakefront camping. You would either miss the trek or break camp totally with a motorhome. Regarding our Infanta trailer? My wife prefers a quiet afternoon reading by the lake, so I unhook, level the trailer, and we are ready to explore in our pickup.
Beyond day visits, this detachability element is essential. We set base camp for a week and toured ghost towns, hot springs, and hiking paths free from the strain of negotiating a 35-foot RV across small mountain passes on our Colorado trip last summer.
Parent View from Real World
As a parent, I appreciate that my Infanta allows the children to sleep peacefully while I search for new fishing locations or trekking paths. Every camping parent knows that the separate living area keeps naptime from ruining our whole day’s agenda.
Locating Your Ideal Infanta Trailer: A Guide for Buyers
Scale and Layout: Complementing Your Way of Life
Infanta is aware that one size surely does not fit all and that not all travel trailers are made equal. Our family of four loves our Infanta 24RB, especially for its clever design. While the dinette changes to a nice bed for the children, my wife and I have privacy in the back bedroom.
The central selling feature of the kitchen was its three-burner stove, full-sized refrigerator, and ample counters for cooking. While camping in Maine last month, I cooked lobster soup from scratch. Try that in a small motorhome galley!
Infanta’s smaller models, such as the 19FD, offer the ideal blend of comfort and tow ability for couples or solo travelers without compromising essential conveniences.
Weight Matters: Simplifying GVWR Knowledge
Here is something dealerships sometimes fail to explain adequately: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is your freedom element, not only a figure. You have more vehicle choices for towing the lighter your trailer is.
Because Infanta is committed to lightweight construction using cutting-edge materials, their trailers typically weigh 20–30% less than those of their rivals. With our 24RB’s modest 4,800 pounds dry weight, we can tow easily with our half-ton truck without maxing out our payload capability.
Better fuel efficiency and reduced wear on your tow vehicle also result from this weight advantage; savings accumulate over thousands of kilometers.
Off-Grid Readiness: Designed for Discovery
Usually, the best camping locations are not found in RV parks with full hook-ups. During an unplanned April snowfall at Utah’s Arches National Park, Infanta’s thermal package and solar-ready roof kept us comfortable. Other campers crowded in their poorly insulated trailers, so we kept toasty warm and turned on the generator.
Just screw them down and plug them in; the factory solar prep wiring made installing panels relatively easy. No complex retrofitting or warranty-voiding changes are required.
Trail-Tested Advice for New Towable Campers
Encouraging Towing Confidence
Let me admit my most humiliating beginner error: I wasted twenty minutes trying to reverse into a campground with my wife furiously waving directions from outside during our first vacation. The outcome was an extremely close meeting between our trailer corner and a pine tree, which resulted in about $300 in fiberglass repair.
The knowledge is that experts were once beginners; practice makes perfect. Start small by practicing backing in empty parking lots, finding your turning radius, and then consider purchasing a backup camera system. You will find it well worth every dollar.
For newcomers, Infanta’s trailers feature identified components and color-coded electrical connections, which help considerably lower the learning curve.
Create Practical Setup Notes
This advice will help you avoid frustration: AFTER unhitching your trailer, use leveling blocks. I found out the hard way after spending an hour with a floor jack attempting to level our Infanta on an uneven location.
The motorized tongue jack and stabilizing technology of Infanta make set up shockingly easy. Now, what used to take us 45 minutes takes less than 15 minutes, freeing up more time for leisure and discovery.
Off-Grid Essentials: Managing Water and Power
Having everything you need helps you to conserve water naturally. For a family of four, navy showers—water on to wet, off to soap, on to rinse—can make our 40-gallon fresh water tank last five days.
LED lighting all around your Infanta trailer uses less electricity than more traditional incandescent lights for power management. Our 200-watt solar system enables us to power lights, water pumps, and even charge electronics indefinitely under sunny weather conditions.
Infanta Spotlight: Things That Feel Like Home
Original Stories from Real Adventures
Why did our folding terrace end up serving as our sunset dinner area? Infanta created it to expand our living area elegantly. Every evening on our Southwest trip, we would arrange seats on the patio, pop the awning, and view amazing sunsets while dining al fresco.
Also revolutionary has been the choice of an outdoor kitchen. Cooking bacon and eggs outside preserves the comfort of a fully equipped kitchen while keeping heat and cooking odors outside.
Durability Stories from the Road
Our Infanta chassis still feels sturdy and tracks straight, following 10,000 miles of gravel roads, forest service paths, and highway riding. From coastal salt air to desert sandstorms, the laminated fiberglass structure has withstood the elements without displaying significant damage.
When you compare Infanta’s cabinet doors, drawer slides, and hardware to less expensive options, it is clear to see the attention to detail in their manufacturing. Although they cost more initially, quality components over years of usage save money and aggravation.
Often Asked Questions About Towable RVs
**Are maintainable towable RVs difficult?**
Based on my experience, the fiberglass outside of Infanta halves cleanup time as compared to painted metal. It looks fresh after a basic soap and water wash; the non-porous surface resists stains and fading.
Can I tow with an SUV?
Certainly! Perfect for mid-sized SUVs, Infanta’s lightweight models—including the 16FB—weigh under 3,500 pounds. Always check the towing capabilities of your car and consider weight distribution hitches for optimal stability.
How can I winterize a travel trailer?
The procedure is simple: empty all water systems, apply RV antifreeze to traps and check ventilation. Infanta offers comprehensive winterizing instructions for purchase, and their customer support staff is always on hand to answer inquiries.
**What about towing fuel economy**?
Depending on your tow vehicle and driving circumstances, expect a 20 to 30 percent drop in fuel economy. The aerodynamic profiles of Infanta serve to reduce wind resistance as opposed to boxier rivals.
Is trailer camping safe for families?
Surely. Modern towable RVs, such as Infinitas trailers, have emergency exits, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detectors. The secret is regular maintenance and using simple RV safety procedures.
## Where will your Infanta travel to?
Your fantasy road trip calls for a trailer to accompany the excursion, not just a sleeping car. The correct towable RV enhances your outdoor experience, whether you’re taking weekend trips to nearby state parks or embarking on spectacular cross-country expeditions.
Understanding that RV life is about the freedom to explore, the luxury of having your own space, and the experiences formed along the road rather than the goal has helped Infanta establish its reputation. Their dedication to customer service, careful design, and high-quality building guarantees that your investment pays out in adventures for years to go.
The mountains are beckoning; the lakes are waiting; those secret camping locations won’t find themselves. Your Infanta trailer is ready just as you are.
