2026 Travel Trailer comparison · side-by-side specs, verdict, and who each is best for.
Quick verdict
Two very different recreational solutions classed as Travel Trailer at nearly identical price. The Adventurer 86FB is actually a truck camper: 14.5 ft long, 2,740 lbs dry, designed to ride in a 3/4-ton or larger pickup bed with a north/south queen, expansive dinette sleeper, largest-in-class wet bath, hybrid TRU-Composite construction, 42 gal fresh, 9.4 gal LP, four-season build, and 2,500W LPG generator at $40,900. The Winnebago Hike 100 H170S is a conventional SUV-towable travel trailer at 20.63 ft, 3,260 lbs dry, with a queen, wet bath, 31 gal fresh, and 9.5 gal LP at $40,952.
The Adventurer 86FB doesn't need a separate trailer parking spot at home, drives anywhere your pickup goes, and includes four-season insulation plus an Onan generator. The Hike 100 H170S unhooks at the campsite so you can drive the SUV around exploring, a flexibility the truck camper cannot provide.
Verdict in the Travel Trailer market: pick the Adventurer 86FB for truck-bed-mounted convenience and four-season build; pick the Winnebago Hike 100 H170S for SUV-towed flexibility.

Frequently asked
What truck do I need for the Adventurer 86FB?
3/4-ton minimum (F-250, Ram 2500, Silverado 2500HD) with proper payload rating. The 2,740 lb dry weight plus passengers, gear, water, and accessories typically lands 3,500-4,000 lbs in the bed loaded.
Can I leave the truck camper at the campsite?
Possible but inconvenient. Most truck campers stay mounted on the truck since unloading requires jacks and level ground. The Hike 100 H170S's trailer hitch unhooks in 5 minutes.
Which has better four-season camping?
The Adventurer 86FB, with listed four-season build and 9.4 gal LP for furnace runs. The Hike 100 H170S isn't four-season certified.
