Looking for a 2000 Pound Travel Trailer?
WHAT KIND OF RV can you get if your vehicle has a tow capacity of 3,000 pounds? That doesn’t sound like much, but you may be pleasantly surprised by the diverse 2000-pound travel trailer options. These top small campers are easy to tow; some even offer kitchens, bathrooms, air conditioning, bunks, and more. Even a small, ultralight RV can bring big conveniences for your next adventure.
As someone who recently downsized from a 30-foot trailer, I’ve learned that bigger isn’t always better. Small trailers can offer more freedom and a connection to the great outdoors, while providing more ease and comfort than tent camping. You can have as much fun in a 1,500-pound camper as in a 15,000-pound trailer.
Key Takeaways
- There are many 2000 pound travel trailers—including feature-packed models with kitchens, bathrooms, AC, and sleeping space for 2–3 people.
- Top options like the Coleman Rubicon, NuCamp T@b 320S, and Forest River No Boundaries 10.6 deliver surprising comfort and versatility in compact, towable packages.
- Campers under 1,500 or even 1,000 pounds—like the Jayco Hummingbird 10RK and Taxa Cricket Trek—provide minimalist adventures with more protection and amenities than tent camping.
Travel Trailers at or Under 2000 Pounds
Recently, RV manufacturers have experimented with the micro-RV market, producing several 2,000-pound travel trailers. Here are a few top-rated used campers with dry weights between 1,600 and 2,099 pounds:
Coleman Rubicon 1200RK & 1400BH
2023-24 Specs
- Length: 14 to 16 feet
- Dry Weight: 1,682 to 1,908 pounds
- Cargo Capacity: 1,092 to 1,318 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: 2-3
Designed for off-road camping, Coleman’s Rubicon series offers lightweight campers loaded with amenities. The Rubicon 1200RK has sleeping space for two, while the Rubicon 1400BH adds a bunk for a third person. Each features a gaucho sofa that pulls out to sleep two.
Both models offer a rear teardrop-style kitchen with a lift-up hatch that provides protection from the elements. You’ll find a sink, storage, counterspace, and a 3.3-cubic-foot refrigerator. Though it doesn’t include a cooktop or microwave, there’s plenty of room to store the cooking gadgets of your choice, whether it be an induction cooktop, griddle, or microwave.
Unlike a tent, this ultralite camper offers an air conditioner and an electric fireplace, keeping you comfortable through many travel seasons. At 7’ tall, these units can also be stored in many standard residential garages, an added benefit not found in many travel trailers.

Looking for a 2,000-pound camper with a bathroom and air conditioning? The answer is the T@b 320S Boondock, which also boasts an interior kitchen. This tiny but mighty camper is ultra-lightweight but packed with features. Plus, its classic teardrop shape makes it an eye-catcher.
The wet bath features a cassette toilet, a shower, and a sink. The kitchen includes a sink, a propane two-burner cooktop, a microwave, a 2.3-cubic-foot fridge, counterspace, and storage. The Nautilus water system makes filling and sanitation a breeze, with a labeled diagram posted above the valves. Upgrade to the convenience package to add solar and lithium power.
A dinette/sofa offers a place to work and dine. At night, it converts to a 71-by-72-inch bed. Though it’s not as long as a typical mattress, it is almost as wide as a king bed. Built-in reading lights, storage, and windows surround the bed.
Forest River No Boundaries 10.6
2022 Specs
- Length: 13’10”
- Dry Weight: 1,763 pounds

Is it a camper? Is it a trailer? The No Boundaries 10.6 is both, offering all the convenience of a toy hauler in a 1,800-pound package. A rear ramp makes it easy to load motorcycles, bikes, or kayaks into the six-foot garage space, and tie-down rings help secure your gear.
The interior includes a lounger that converts to a bed, storage wardrobes, pop up tables, and an optional television. The living space extends outside thanks to a rooftop tent that sleeps two adults. A huge batwing awning wraps around the side and rear. The outdoor rear kitchen has a sink basin, a powered Truma
cooker, and a two-burner propane cooktop.
The all-terrain tires and 30-gallon fresh water tank are excellent for off-grid camping. If you camp with hookups, this versatile 14-foot toy hauler trailer has an air conditioner, which makes it a serious upgrade to tent camping.

2021 Specs
- Length: 13’4”

The exterior offers all-terrain tires and rooftop storage racks. A flip-up rear door protects an exterior kitchen, which offers an electric cooler and a spot to store an optional griddle or grill.
Jayco Hummingbird 10RK
2019 Specs
- Length: 13’
- Dry Weight: 1,545 pounds
- Cargo Capacity: 455 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 2
The appropriately named Hummingbird 10RK is one of Jayco’s smallest travel trailers in recent years. This micro travel trailer under 2,000 pounds is essentially an enclosed bed with a rear exterior kitchen. However, it offers a ton of amenities that make it a major upgrade over tent camping.
The rear kitchen is thoughtfully designed to include a 1.7-cubic-foot fridge, a microwave, a 24-inch television, a sink, and a spot for an optional propane grill. The flip-up door acts as an awning. The interior is primarily dedicated to the 54-by-74-inch bed, with storage, a fold-down table, LED lighting, and multiple electric outlets.
This adventure-ready trailer features 15-inch Goodyear® all-terrain tires, extra ground clearance, and a stronger suspension system for off-grid camping. It comes with electric and propane and is pre-wired for a solar package. An air conditioner isn’t standard, but you can add a side-mounted 8,000-BTU unit.
Taxa Outdoor Cricket Trek
2018 Specs
- Length: 15’
- Dry Weight: 1,500 pounds
- Cargo Capacity: 1,200 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 2 (plus 2 bonus bunks for children)
The Cricket Trek may be one of the most unique-looking ultralight camp trailers on the RV market, with its angular design and pop up tent. Taxa’s design team draws inspiration from NASA to create functional but minimal spaces that offer RV camping conveniences while keeping the spirit of tent camping.
Thanks to an innovative hanging bunk system, this small trailer can sleep two adults and two children. The main bed converts to a dinette. The kitchen offers a two-burner cooktop, a sink, and many storage cubbies and crates. While it doesn’t have a bathroom, it does offer an outside shower and space to store a portable RV toilet.
A Truma Combi system provides a water heater and furnace. Ventilation windows, a 12-volt rooftop exhaust fan, and a rear hatch door help keep the interior cool while providing excellent campsite views. The interior also features LED lighting and power outlets. The exterior offers a six-foot awning, all-terrain tires, and rooftop gear racks.
