Towables are vehicles designed to be pulled by pickup trucks, automobiles, vans, and other motorized vehicles. They are made with wheels for towing on roads and flat bases for towing on water or ice. They are mainly used to provide sleeping quarters for up to eight people while on the way to a campsite. They can also be used as alternative modes of transportation when transferring to another ski slope or when returning to shore. They are available in standard, fifth-wheel, folding camping, and water tube models.
