According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_trailer), "Travel trailers and caravans vary from basic models which may be little more than a tent on wheels to those containing several rooms with all the furniture and furnishings and equipment of a home." So, we can conclude that a tent trailer is a type of caravan sheltered with a tent instead of a hard material like metal.

Also, take a look at http://www.gocaravanning.com/trailer/ and http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=o... for images of tent trailers.

agree  Habib Shariati: It is also called pop-up trailer or folder trailer
3 hrs
  -> Thank you.

disagree  Kourosh Abdi: Karavane Chadori is not an appropariate equivalent for a reacreational Wagon or Trailer which has a Shade. Where can you find Chador in this link's picture?: http://visual.merriam-webster.com/transport-machinery/road-t...

  -> How do you support your idea that کاروان چادری is not appropriate? Indeed, I do see a چادر in the picture. Moreover, چادر is the exact equivalent for "tent" and if we are going to translate the source term faithfully, کاروان چادری is the best.

agree  Sasan Zangeneh Bar: Thanks Korosh, according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it's a "Caravan with a collapsible section that is opened up when at rest and folded up again before ..." http://visual.merriam-webster.com/transport-machinery/road-t...
6 hrs
  -> Spas!

agree  Habib Shariati
7 hrs
  -> Spas!

neutral  Mohebi: The only diffrence between this vehicle and its other types is that it is made with a tent while the other types are made with other materials like metal. So, Mr. Emami's answer is closer.

disagree  Ryan Emami: If the English wanted the word to mean کاروان سایباندار, they would have called it "shade trailer." I think there's no need to replace "tent" with "shade" when we already have a well established equivalent for it.
