While smaller travel trailers, like 24-foot and 26-foot options, offer many advantages, including easier towability, lighter weights, and better maneuverability, they often lack interior space and have fewer amenities.
Which is where larger more well-equipped travel trailers come in.
As larger travel trailers offer more interior space as well as creature comforts.
The issue though is that this extra interior space and comfort comes at a cost, namely, weight and size.
Which not only requires a more robust tow vehicle but also makes pulling the trailer much more challenging.
The good news though is that there’s actually a travel trailer size that bridges the gap between the smallest and largest travel trailers.
Offering the best of both worlds, which is the 30-foot travel trailer,
As the 30-foot travel trailer provides more interior space and amenities compared to the smallest travel trailers, while at the same time keeping the overall size and weight reasonable.
With so many travel trailers on the market today though, it can be challenging to find 30-foot options.
So we created this blog post, which highlights 12 of the most popular 30-foot travel trailer floor plans available.

Despite the budget-friendly price of the 261BHS though, the camper offers a surprising amount of comfort features and amenities.
Starting with the travel trailer’s massive 10-person sleeping capacity.
As this 30-foot camper offers class-leading sleeping accommodations, thanks to double bunk beds, a front queen bed, a convertible dinette booth, and a jack knife sofa.

A similar 30-foot travel trailer to the above Coachmen Catalina Summit Series 8 261BHS is the KZ RV Sportsmen SE 271BHKSE.
As these two affordable campers not only have a very comparable price but also share a very similar layout and floor plan.
In fact, it’s hard to notice much of a difference even when looking at the two floorplans side-by-side.
As both trailers offer a private front bedroom, a large open main living area, a 10-person sleeping capacity, and a three-piece dry bath.
Upon closer inspection, however, a few key differences do emerge.
For starters, the Sportsmen SE 271BHKSE offers an outdoor kitchen with a sink, griddle, and fridge, while the Catalina Summit Series 8 261BHS offers no outdoor kitchen.
The second difference between these two campers is the size of their awnings because while the Sportsmen SE 271BHKSE offers a 19-foot awning, the Catalina Summit Series 8 261BHS only offers a 15-foot awning.
This means that the Sportsmen SE 271BHKSE offers an extra four feet of covered space outside, which comes in handy on those hot or rainy camp days.

The last few differences are pretty minor but worth pointing out if you’re trying to decide between the two.
As the Sportsmen SE 271BHKSE offers a single entrance into the front bedroom, while the Catalina Summit Series 8 261BHS offers dual entrances on either side of the built-in entertainment center.
And finally, because of the larger peninsula offered on the Sportsmen SE 271BHKSE, the trailer provides slightly more counter space compared to the Catalina Summit Series 8 261BHS.
However, the Catalina Summit Series 8 261BHS offers a larger pantry, so both trailers have advantages.

Allowing the camper to offer class-leading counter space, storage space, and features in the kitchen.

There is one drawback to a front kitchen layout though, and that’s a heavy front end, which leads to a higher-than-normal hitch weight.
And this is clearly evident in this trailer’s 918-pound hitch weight, as it’s almost double that of a standard 30-foot travel trailer.
Video Tour of the Coachmen Catalina Legacy Edition 263FKDS
Moving on from the front kitchen layout though, this trailer has several other unique features as well.

And speaking of the rear bedroom, this trailer is also the only trailer on this list to offer an east-to-west queen bed, thanks to its bedroom slide-out.

At 29 feet 10 inches, the Lance 2465 comes in at just under 30 feet.
However, due to its distinctive floor plan and numerous class-leading features, we felt that it was important to include it on this list.
As the Lance 2465 is one of the best 30-ish foot travel trailers you can buy for a variety of reasons.
Starting with its construction.
As the Lance 2465 like all Lance campers, uses premium construction, including a lightweight durable aluminum frame, a one-piece PVC roof, a laminated fiberglass exterior with Azdel, and a molded fiberglass front cap.
In addition, the Lance 2465 also provides best-in-class year-round camping capability.
Thanks to the trailer’s all-weather package, which includes numerous cold-weather features.
And that’s just on the exterior because when you move inside the trailer the class-leading features continue.
As the 2465 floor plan features not one but two slide-outs and a private rear owner’s suite with a king-size bed, and a massive wardrobe/desk/entertainment center.
As well as a spacious and comfortable front living room with a convertible dinette booth, a large comfy L-shaped couch, and a well-equipped kitchen with sleek modern euro cabinetry.
You might have noticed that all these premium features don’t come cheap though, as the Lance 2465 is double the cost, if not more, than most other 30-foot travel trailers, with an average cost of $72,000.

Starting with its iconic all-aluminum hand-riveted “Silver Bullet” exterior, which is what Airstream trailers are best known for.
As their unique exterior really helps them to stand out from every other RV.
Plus, I challenge you to find a travel trailer, 30 feet or otherwise that has a cooler-looking exterior.
And the good news is that while the 30FB Bunk looks cool on the outside, the inside is just as cool.
As the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk interior offers a premium aluminum ceiling and walls just like on the outside.
