No Slide Travel Trailer Floor Plans
These small campers are simple and easy. Perfect if you’re new to RVing, or just looking for an uncomplicated RV.
Without the slide out you can wave goodbye to slide out maintenance, problems with a slide, or the extra weight a slide adds.

Sofa or Dinette Slide Camper Floor Plans
It’s a little bigger than the no slide options and adds one small slide out.
But, don’t expect to see a full sofa & dinette in this slide! RVs with this floor plan style will either have a sofa or a dinette.
You’ll also get a walkaround bed with the bathroom most often in the rear.
Overall, it’s small, easy to tow, lightweight, compact and often has impressive storage and counter space – especially for its size.
Lots of manufacturers build this super efficient floor plan. If you go this route, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from.

Compact Mega Kitchen Couple’s Camper Floor Plan
This compact, large kitchen floor plan got started with the Grand Design Imagine 17MKE. It’s since become a staple couple’s camper layout.
You’ll find it for small, lightweight towables. The slide opens up to give you a living room that feels huge for the size.
The whole camp-side of the RV is a mega kitchen/bar.

The Toterhome Floor Plan
You want compact, but don’t want a murphy bed? A 22-Toterhome could be right for you.
It’s like a miniature version of the classic, old-school motorhome layout. But with a bed rather than a front cab.
This is basically the smallest way to have a bed, sofa, dinette, good-sized kitchen and dedicated bathroom all in one.
This time, we have the Grand Design Imagine 22MLE to thank for kick starting this fantastic option.

Rear Bath Couple Campers
Coming in just below 30 feet, the rear bath is everywhere. It’s almost the default couple’s camping floor plan.
The design is very efficient. It’s one of the smallest ways you can build a full super slide with a private front bedroom and nice bathroom.
Different manufacturers are going to have different methods. Forest River’s Surveyor rear bath model is very different from others, for example.

Rear Lounger Couple’s Campers
Get to know the rear lounger layout if you prefer the bathroom closer to the front bed.
This layout has the bathroom up front near the bed – usually between the bedroom and living area.
The sofa will be on the back wall and the dinette in the slide or, the dinette on the wall, sofa in the slide. Both options are very popular

Rear Kitchen Couple’s Campers
If you want more window coverage on the camp side of your RV this is the layout for you.
This floor plan leaves the bedroom and bathroom up front and twists the living area and kitchen around.
Swapping the kitchen to the back leaves room for windows across the camp side of the RV.
You’ll often find better counter space in a rear kitchen model.
The living space seating is usually across from each other, rather than at an angle. Depending how you like to socialize, this may be better or worse!

Front Kitchen with Bed Slide Out
If you flip the bedroom and the kitchen you can get more features wrapped up in one.
Things like a kitchen with good prep space, a full super slide like the rear bathroom model, the maximum use of space possible within a 30’ camper and, sometimes, a private bedroom slide.
The trick with these is the full super slide up front may mean it carries extra hitch weight with the full super slide up front. Pay careful attention, a front kitchen model may not be half ton towable.

Rockwood Mini Lite / Flagstaff Micro Lite Best Overall Couple Campers
This group isn’t a floor plan but a recommendation for the brand as a whole.
All are under 26ft total length!
If you’re looking for a compact camper, always under 26’, we highly recommend the Rockwood Mini or Flagstaff Micro Lite couple campers.
These 2 identical Forest River RV brands often have versions of any of the floor plans here, but a compact version of it.
If you don’t know where to begin and don’t want a PHD in campology, Rockwood and Flagstaff are a great place to start .
With the features, amenities, and reliability, you’ll get a fantastic value for your money.
