New for 2024: 6 Lightweight Couples’ Trailers with Walk-Around Beds

In recent years, RVing has become increasingly popular among younger demographics, and for good reason. Whether it’s a spontaneous weekend adventure or a long-term journey, the freedom and flexibility of RV living and traveling is hard to beat. For couples wanting to embrace the RV life, a well-designed travel trailer can offer the perfect balance of comfort and mobility. And when it comes to small trailers, a walk-around murphy queen bed is a game-changer. It transforms the space, creating a dual-purpose area that feels like both a living room and a bedroom, all without adding extra weight.

These trailers all feature a murphy bed (with walk-aound access) and are all under 5000 lbs, making them easily towable with a 1/2 ton truck. You can hit the road with ease – plus you don’t have to crawl over your partner when getting in and out of bed.
