Used Destination Trailers in Missouri, USA

Overview

Destination trailers are towable living units designed for long-term stays rather than frequent road travel. Built on robust chassis with full living amenities—kitchens, bathrooms, sleeping areas, heating and air systems—they come in a range of sizes and floorplans for permanent or semi-permanent use at campgrounds and parks. Buyers value structural integrity, utilities, insulation and slide-out reliability over cosmetic wear when selecting a trailer for extended occupancy.

FAQ

What should I inspect before buying a used destination trailer?

Check the chassis, frame and axles for rust or damage, inspect wheel bearings, brakes and suspension. Look for water intrusion around the roof, windows and slide-outs, test plumbing, appliances, HVAC and generator, and verify the title/VIN and service history.

How do I verify weight and towing or placement requirements?

Confirm the trailer’s GVWR, dry weight and tongue or pin weight on the data plate. Use certified scales to verify actual weight and ensure your tow vehicle, tow dolly or placement equipment (lowboy/tilt) is rated appropriately.

What transport options are common for destination trailers?

Common methods are lowboy trailers, flatbeds, specialized RV haulers and tow dollies for smaller units. For long distances, professional heavy-equipment haulers are preferred to handle secure tie-downs and route planning.

Are permits or escorts needed for shipping a large destination trailer?

Often yes. Oversize/overweight permits, route approvals and pilot vehicles may be required depending on dimensions, weight and state or country regulations. Check local transport authorities before booking.

What routine maintenance keeps a destination trailer reliable?

Regularly service brakes, bearings, tires and suspension; inspect and reseal the roof and slide-out seals; service HVAC, water systems and appliances; change generator oil and test batteries. Keep detailed maintenance records.

How should I prepare the trailer for long-term storage?

Winterize plumbing, disconnect or maintain batteries, stabilize tires, protect vents and openings, cover or park under shelter if possible, and run HVAC or desiccants to prevent mold. Secure permits if left on leased sites.
