02 · Who rents this
A towable is the camper you pull behind your own truck or SUV instead of driving. You supply the tow vehicle; the host supplies the living space. That split usually means a lower nightly rate than a motorhome, plus the freedom to unhitch at the campsite and keep your truck for day trips. PickRV covers four common types. Travel trailers are the all-rounder for families. Fifth-wheels are taller, roomier rigs that connect to a pickup bed for stable long-distance towing. Popup and teardrop trailers are light and simple — easy to pull to a state park lake or a weekend festival. The key number is tow weight: each listing lists dry weight so you can match it to your vehicle. Renters pay one transparent 10% service fee at checkout plus tax, with no drip pricing, and cancellation is free for 48 hours.
