\nNow, we are not only going to know about the top 10 travel trailer brands for 2020 but also look at some of the best brands which provide features like fiberglass rooftops, king-size beds, and washer dryer facilities.<\/p>\n
1. Airstream<\/strong><\/p>\n Airstream happens to be one of the leading brands involved in the manufacture of RVs for a century now. Airstream travel trailers come with the age-old and time-tested riveted aluminum body. Other than the trademark riveted aluminum light and strong shell many firsts were achieved by Airstream like the flushable toilet and waste holding tank, hot water system, pressurized water system, and ladder frame. It provides all the basic amenities that you would expect in your home and many more. Along with all these come the guarantee of performance, comfort and of course most importantly safety. Every travel trailer manufactured by Airstream is handcrafted at their workshop in Jackson Center, Ohio, USA.<\/p>\n One of the key features of the Airstream travel trailers is that these are very easy to tow and drive. Every wheel on the travel trailer is fitted with a suspension of its own. Vibration is 50% absorbed in an Airstream travel trailer due to the rubber torsion axle. This is a major benefit over other travel trailers providing leaf springs. As each of the axles works independently hence dual-axle models can easily be dragged for short distances with a flat tire. The comfort level is unparalleled.<\/p>\n Source: airstream.com<\/p><\/div>\n The driving experience is a very important aspect of traveling especially when going out for camping. The patented aerodynamic design generates less draft and low wind resistance ensuring maximum riding comfort. It helps to minimize the sway during storms and side winds created by passing vehicles. It also helps in consuming at least 20% lesser fuel than other travel trailers in the same category.<\/p>\n The interiors are given equal impetus as the exterior when it comes to the Airstream travel trailers. Every kind of modern facilities and luxury is available right from perfect HVAC, beautiful furniture, top-quality audio and video systems, Korean Countertops, great mattresses, rear hatch, etc. USB ports and 110V sockets are interspersed in such a fashion that it is very convenient to charge your system anytime anywhere on the move. The interiors are aesthetically designed and every little aspect is paid utmost importance.<\/p>\n Source: airstream.com<\/p><\/div>\n Some of the popular travel trailers on offer from Airstream with floorplans are provided below.<\/p>\n a.<\/strong> Airstream Classic<\/strong><\/p>\n This 30 to 33 feet trailer comes with a luxurious bathroom and bedroom, separate kitchen, dining area, and lounge<\/p>\n Source: airstream.com<\/p><\/div>\n Floorplan<\/em><\/span> \u2013 There are four options in the floorplan and a picture of one is provided as an example.<\/p>\n Source: airstream.com<\/p><\/div>\n b.

Before the trailer leaves the manufacturer\u2019s place for delivery it is checked on the accuracy of measurements, the functioning of all electrical and electronic equipment on board is functioning properly and finally whether the trailer stands up to the quality standards befitting the Dutchmen brand. They also have the rain bay facility at their workshops to ensure that the trailer can stand heavy rain.<\/p>\n b.<\/strong> Best in industry warranty: The three-year structural warranty builds in a lot of value over the long run.

Every component is covered in the first year except the simple wear and tear issues. The following years ensure the structural warranty for all items of the trailer. One of the unique benefits is the transferable nature of the warranty which means that the warranty can be transferred if the trailer changes the owner. The highly specialized and able team of customer service representatives make sure that no stones are left unturned when it comes to making sure that the owners lose the minimum adventure time.<\/p>\n c.<\/strong> Parts and Service: This is an extension of the promise on quality service guaranteed by Dutchmen to all its customers.
