Registration and insurance classifications vary by state and insurance provider, so there isn't one classification that applies in every situation.

Hiker Trailers are designed as recreational camping trailers and contain an interior living and sleeping space. Because of this, they will typically fall under an RV, travel trailer, or camping trailer classification for registration and insurance purposes.

However, some states or insurance companies may classify certain Hiker Trailer models as enclosed utility trailers, particularly because our trailers do not have many of the systems commonly associated with traditional RVs, such as onboard bathrooms, permanent plumbing, or black and gray water holding tanks.

Ultimately, the appropriate classification is determined by your state or local vehicle registration authority and your insurance provider, not by Hiker Trailers.

We recommend providing your DMV and insurance company with an accurate description of your specific trailer and asking which classification they require. If they need additional information about the trailer, VIN, specifications, or manufacturer documentation, please contact us and we'll be happy to assist.
