Are travel trailers environmentally friendly?

Question

NOT motorhomes. like the trailers that are like moter homes but withoutthe car part. like u pull it. not a popup. are they environmentally friendly?

Answer 1

Assuming you tow the trailer with a pickup truck, it's not very eco-friendly.  A truck gets around 20 mpg with no trailer on a good day.  Add a trailer and the mileage drops to 8 to 10 mpg.

About the only good thing you can say about using a trailer home is that there isn't much space to heat.

Answer 2

Compared to what?  Compared to a regular home they're good because they're small (not wasteful).  If you are towing them around a lot you're wasting fuel.
