Camping Trailers Advice

Did a road trip with some friends last week. It involved quite a bit of off-roading and camping. Total trip was about 1500 miles of interstate, state roads and OnX rated roads rated from 3 - 5. No rock crawling but a few places semi technical. Started in Albuquerque to southern Arizona to Organ Pipe NP then el Camino del Diablo, and several roads in the Kofa Wildlife Refuge. While off roading I spent about 50% of miles in 4H, 40% in 2H and 10% in 4 Lo. Had zero issues with overheating in 4H for several hours at a time. Total of about 400 off-road miles. Highway and off-roading time was split about evenly. Definitely prefer 4H for off-roading. Provided great traction and is geared right for less than 25 mph. For information I have a 2025 OR Premium non-hybrid. I did replaced the oem tires with stock size, 265/70/17s KO3s C load. Highly recommend KO3s and I picked stock size since I tow a travel trailer often. The Tacoma was solid. Zero complaints.

Hi everyone,

As a newcomer to travel trailer camping, I’ve been enjoying the experience but am still learning a lot. I’ve found that getting familiar with your trailer’s systems, like water and electrical, is crucial. It’s helpful to keep a checklist for essential gear and practice setting up and tearing down your trailer before hitting the road. Booking campsites in advance and understanding your trailer’s maintenance needs can make trips smoother.

I’d love to hear from those with more experience. What challenges did you face when starting out? Any favorite camping spots or tips to enhance the travel trailer experience?

Looking forward to your advice!
