First Off, What Is A Destination RV Trailer?

Destination trailers are essentially a tiny home on wheels. They're called destination trailers because generally they're towed behind a truck or SUV with the pulling power for the job, and set up at the destination of the traveler's choice. Unlike a small RV that's built on the back of a self-powered vehicle.

And the Salem Grand Villa is one of the most extravagant destination trailers out there. YouTube channel Big Truck Big RV gives an inside look into one of these luxurious trailers. It has two floors and an exceptionally well-planned interior. The first floor opens up to two entrances. One leads directly into a master bedroom, while another sliding door leads to its living room.

Between the living room and bedroom lies a compact bathroom. The high ceiling and large counter by the sink make it very spacious. You also get a pair of shelves for your toiletries. Beside the bathroom lies a staircase to the top section of the RV. Although there's nothing unique about the stairs, they're carpeted and suit the RV's aura.

The living room is gorgeous, and the designer furniture matches with its luxurious tone. On one side of the living room is the pantry area, but it fits so well that you wouldn’t be able to differentiate between the living room and the pantry. The double side slide-out living room has a 30-inch built-in electric fireplace and a Residential Whirlpool Double French Door Fridge. The extra slide space is well utilized to fit in a four-seater dining set and a comfy sofa set. In the center of the living room is a sink, behind which lies a cupboard. The spacious counter beside this storage comes with an electric microwave.
