The thrill of the open road, the freedom of a mobile abode, and the promise of grand adventures – nothing sums these up quite like owning a travel trailer. Today, we delve into a comprehensive review of the Range Lite Travel Trailer 261BH 2024.
The Range Lite Travel Trailer, with a sizeable 30'8" overall exterior length and a comfortable height of 10'4", boasts a TuffShell fabricated with vacuum bonded laminated construction, reinforced with heavy-duty fiberglass and welded aluminum frames. This ensures durability while remaining lightweight enough for easy towing. The rig is designed with a fully walkable roof—a commendable feature equipped with a PVC roofing membrane that guarantees longevity with its lifetime warranty.
The vehicle also comes with a foldable grab handle, magnetic baggage door catches, oversized pass-through storage with motion lighting, side marker camera prep lights, and solid swing-down entry steps—all features that demonstrate a thoughtful balance between practicality and modern enhancements. In addition, it features an impressive Xtend Solar I Package complete with a 200-watt solar panel and 30 amp solar controller, signifying its commitment to sustainable travel.
Moving on to the interior, the Range Lite Travel Trailer creates an inviting atmosphere with LED interior lighting, stylish hardwood cabinet doors and a roomy 81" interior height. Highlights include a 10-cubic ft. 12 Volt refrigerator and stainless-steel single-basin under-mount kitchen sink which provide convenience for long trips. Additional amenities like a 60" x 80" residential queen bed incorporating underneath storage space and roller blackout night shades present a great case for home-like comfort on the road.
The technology in this trailer doesn't disappoint either, featuring powered 12V bathroom vents, cable and satellite prep, and multiple electrical outlets and USB ports. All these and more make the 261BH a tech-friendly choice for modern travelers.
