The shortest travel trailers with a toilet and shower in the builders' own spec sheets run from about 13 to 16 feet overall, and almost all of them use a wet bath, where the toilet and shower share one waterproof room. A separate dry bath normally means a longer trailer.
Small Travel Trailers With a Bathroom: Length, Weight and Layout
At a glance
- Smallest with a bathroom: builder spec sheets go down to 13 ft 5 in overall (Happier Camper HC1 Studio), with a shower and toilet in one compartment.
- Wet bath vs dry bath: a wet bath is one room designed to get wet; builders that print a dry bath put it in longer trailers.
- What tows one: compare the trailer's loaded weight limit (GVWR) and hitch weight with your vehicle's ratings, not the dry weight on the headline.

The shortest trailers that still have a toilet and shower
If a bathroom is a must, the shortest option starts at 13 ft 5 in overall. Happier Camper's HC1 Studio fits a shower, a vent and a Dry-Flush toilet into that length, and the toilet comes out for more shower space. Its GVWR is 3,500 lbs and its tongue weight 180 to 220 lbs, from the HC1 Studio spec page.
Above that, nuCamp's 2027 TAB 320 LITE is 15 ft 3 in with a wet bath and a cassette toilet as an add-on, and Winnebago's HIKE 100 is 15 ft 11 in with a wet bath, power vent and cassette toilet. All of these hitch to a ball behind the bumper, unlike a fifth wheel, which needs a hitch in a pickup bed.
Small travel trailers with a bathroom, by length
Use the table to find the shortest trailer with the bathroom and sleeping space you need, shortest first. If weight rather than length is your limit, the lightest travel trailers are sorted by weight instead.

Figures from the builders' own pages: Happier Camper, nuCamp TAB 320 LITE and TAB 400, Winnebago HIKE 100 and Micro Minnie 1800BH, Airstream Basecamp 16 and Bambi 20FB, inTech Sol, Jayco Jay Feather Air SL, and Oliver Legacy Elite. nuCamp gives an axle rating (GAWR 3,000 lbs on the TAB 320 LITE, 3,900 lbs on the TAB 400) instead of a GVWR, and Forest River's r·pod and No Boundaries brochures give no GVWR either. Unloaded weights do not compare across builders: Airstream's includes propane and batteries, while nuCamp's excludes propane, tank fluids, cargo and options.
Wet bath or dry bath
A wet bath is how a short trailer fits a shower at all; a dry bath costs you length. Airstream gives the clearest builder definition: in a wet bath the entire space is designed to get wet, which makes it easy to clean and frees up storage elsewhere in the trailer. A dry bath keeps the shower in its own enclosure, so the toilet and sink stay dry; nuCamp's Haven line is one example.
Tip: In a wet bath the whole room is the shower stall. Anything stored in there, including the toilet paper, gets wet unless it lives in a sealed cubby.
Toilets differ as much as the rooms. The HIKE 100 and the TAB 320 LITE's optional bath use cassette toilets with a removable tank, the HC1 Studio has a Dry-Flush toilet, and Winnebago's Micro Minnie 1800BH has a porcelain toilet on a 25 gal black tank. Tanks grow with the trailer, from 17 gal fresh in the HC1 Studio to 45 gal fresh on the inTech Sol Dawn.
What the length on a spec sheet means
Compare overall length with overall length, because builders do not measure the same way and few say whether the tongue is included. Jayco gives the 2027 Jay Feather Air SL 15TBSL as 17 ft 6 in overall and, in a second row, 13 ft 7 in. nuCamp and inTech give one overall exterior length.
Tip: Happier Camper gives both numbers for the HC1 Studio: a 10 ft shell and a 13 ft 5 in overall length. The 3 ft 5 in difference is tongue and hardware, not living space, which is why two 13 foot trailers can feel very different inside.
Campsite limits use their own definitions too, so check the campground before you book. In Yosemite Valley the maximum trailer length is 35 feet, but only 8 sites that size exist, while many more take trailers up to 24 feet. On the Natchez Trace Parkway, the 55 foot limit includes the towing vehicle.
Teardrops and bathrooms
If you want a bathroom, a classic teardrop is usually the wrong shape. inTech's Flyer Chase (12 ft 5 in) and Flyer Pursue (13 ft 9 in) list no bath and no black tank, and the base Happier Camper HC1 has no built-in kitchen or bath. Coachmen's 2024 Clipper ROK 12000 floor plan shows a cassette toilet, with no shower named.
The teardrop-style exceptions are nuCamp's TAB models: the 2027 TAB 320 LITE offers a wet bath with a cassette toilet as an add-on at 15 ft 3 in, and the 2026 TAB 400 has a wet bath with a toilet and shower at 18 ft 3 in.
What you need to tow one
Compare the trailer's GVWR, not its dry weight, with your vehicle's tow rating, because the trailer will leave the driveway loaded. The GVWRs in the table run from 3,500 to 5,500 lbs, which is in reach of many SUVs and well within what a half-ton truck can tow, but the tow rating is only half the check.
The hitch weight sits on the back of your vehicle and counts against its payload. Ford states that trailer tongue load is part of the cargo weight, and that payload is GVWR minus base curb weight, in its 2026 RV and Trailer Towing Guide. Jayco's 2027 towable owner's manual adds a warning: a trailer within your hitch's capacity is not automatically safe to tow, because the combined weight must not exceed the GCWR.
Your own numbers are on two labels: the trailer's weight and VIN plate for its GVWR and axle ratings, and the certification sticker in your vehicle's driver door jamb for its payload. Both override any brochure.
Common questions
What is the smallest travel trailer with a full bathroom?
If full means a separate shower room (a dry bath), expect a longer trailer than anything at the top of the table. With a shower and toilet sharing one room, the HC1 Studio at 13 ft 5 in is the shortest in builder spec sheets.
What is the smallest travel trailer with a bathroom and a kitchen?
Airstream describes the 20 ft Basecamp as having a kitchen, a bathroom and a lounge area that turns into a bed, with a 2027 GVWR of 4,300 to 4,500 lbs and hitch weight of 508 to 535 lbs. Shorter wet-bath trailers often trade a full galley for a compact counter, so read the floor plan rather than the length.
Can a midsize SUV tow a small travel trailer with a bathroom?
Several of these trailers are in the range SUVs that can tow a travel trailer handle; Airstream says the Bambi's GVWR makes it easy to tow with a variety of light duty trucks and SUVs. The deciding figure is usually payload, because hitch weights here reach 600 lbs before passengers and gear.
