What is the definition of a TTT?

[Gage]

TTT = Tiny Travel Trailer. But in here it could mean any trailer.

for me its just the trailers for the folks that like to stand up and strecth out a bit. you know teardrops are not for everyone.

Great answer

There's room in the pointy trailer for one person to stand up and take two steps, and that's about it. It seems small when inside and big when backing it into the shop.

Teardrops may not be for everyone! But we sure LOVE ours!
My only regret, is that I didn't build it 40 years ago!

Sorry, I did know that it stands for Tiny Travel Trailer.
I wasn't sure if there was a true standard to what makes a TTT or gets int a BTT.

[S. Heisley]

This is a good subject. I don't know if it has ever been brought up before and we probably should try to define what a TTT (Tiny Travel Trailer) is.

Best guess, I would say that a TTT is a travel trailer that isn't the iconic Teardrop, Grasshopper or Benroy shape; yet is still small and light enough to be safely towed by a sedan or small truck. Examples might be a small non-teardrop style home build, an A-frame Chalet, or a small sized Egg, Scamp, Casita, etc. I would further venture to say that a TTT cabin probably isn't any longer than, say.....16 feet? ...usually less than that.

What do others think about this?

I'm thinking anything under 20' should be considered a TTT !

My new TTT

I think 20’ is kind of stretching the word TINY. I believe even 15’ is stretching it a little but that is more of a standard for tiny in today’s world. I have had a 15’ Dalton, a 9’ Field and Stream (both sold) and now have a 13” Burro which I considered all to be TTT’s. But like I said above "in here it could mean any trailer". So enjoy what you have and don't worry about what people think.

in a teardrop, you can lie down and sit up, you must step outside to stand, any trailer that you can stand inside is a TTT. slouchies, standies, canned hams, vardos, shepherds waggons, cargo trailer conversions, even convertible trailers like the winter warrior all fall into the TTT definition in my mind.
On the other end a good question would be, what is a teardrop? is it only rounded "teardrop" shaped campers? a Benroy stretches that a bit, the weekender really stretches that, but both are considered teardrops by anybody but a total purist. Then you get to grasshoppers, sunspots and other designs that are really a camping pod, and not teardrop shaped at all.
To me being able to stand inside is the biggest difference.

I'm thinking a TTT has something to do with a mindset or lifestyle. I've seen campers with pop-ups that have a generator roaring while they sit inside with the AC running and watching a movie.
C'mon people this is CAMPING, i'ffn you want to stay inside and watch the telly, PLEASE stay home and free up the camp spot for someone who wants to get out! O.K. I'll get off my soapbox now
I'll vote for a 16' size limit

We fit your description except for the 16' rule. We were looking at the 16' version of the one we bought. Funny story. we looked at about 20 trailers from 14' up to, just for fun, 38'er. We were comparing two that were in the showroom. When we stepped back into the one that we thought we were looking at, something looked different. We didn't remember the way the bed was sitting and the extra cabinets. Everything else was the same. We ended up with this one. 19'3" long.

This subject has and will keep coming up here...as long as Mikeschn keeps such an open mind, and the participants in the forums (forae?) are contributing in good faith and not contentious, the field remains wide-open.

Some states will call any RV type trailer over 16" a "coach", under 16" it's a camp trailer. There it's decided...16'.
