Types Of Pop Up Trailers And Everyday Use

March 5th, 2010 by admin



Using pop up trailers is much easier than one might expect. You’re not facing the cumbersome turns and slow acceleration of a RV and don’t face the horrible gas mileage or excessive blind spots either. You merely hitch it up and go! Once you’ve gotten to your destination all you need to do is spot a good camp site and back the trailer in slowly. Once you’ve landed simply unhitch and find a place for your car if you cannot have it nearby. Now you’re ready for some outdoor fun without all the hassles of “camping” in your RV in a giant parking lot, miles away from the outdoors.

You can usually acquire decent a decent trailer for around $5,000 to $10,000, or spend more for a more luxurious one, depending on your necessities. There is a wide array of types of pop up trailers, from very fancy ones with exquisite interiors and amenities to campers with just enough to get by. This decision will be based on your taste and desired size. The only crucial necessities are a place to eat and sleep. The advantages here are getting you off potentially wet ground and into smaller living quarters. Why do you need a whole R.V. when you’re camping? That’s the point, to get outside and see the world! Not sit in an R.V. all day doing the same thing you do at home!

Longevity is the name of the game here, and they have great longevity and require almost no maintenance. The advantage here over using an R.V. is not only the initial cost, but maintenance. Keeping a R.V. up and running with tons of gas and service will add thousands to your trip. Using pop up trailers eliminates this problem because you’re merely towing it behind your vehicle. Granted you will have to get new tires for it occasionally, but not nearly as many as your R.V. will need and you’re not bringing the camper along with you as much as you drive, so you may only need to change the tires once over its lifetime.

You also don’t have any costly engine repairs or maintenance, you just keep everything inside working and you’re good to go! Depending on the size of your vehicle, you can tow almost any size of trailer. Most pop up trailers weight under 5,000 pounds, so getting them behind any medium to large sedan is usually more than enough to bring them along with you. Even if you’re driving a compact, there are tiny trailers you can still pull. The options here are limitless.

As you can see, pop up trailers are much more than a little towable box. They can be home away from home, and give you everything you need while camping and adventuring, without weighing you down with all the burden of carrying excessive gear or driving a home on wheels. There are countless makes and models which we will be exploring soon, so come on in, get your feet wet and keep reading all about the exceptional new adventures that await you!

Pop Up Trailers And You

Coming to the decision about weather or not to purchase pop up trailers may seem daunting, but I’ll go into detail about the advantages and the everyday use of one so hopefully you can make the decision easier. For those of you doing any kind of exploring of the outdoors, seekers of adventure, you have a couple options. Your first option is to go stick with tents and your car. Your second option is an RV and your third option is a pop up trailer camper.

There are advantages and disadvantages of each. When traveling with just tents you have the advantage of not having to haul a trailer around. This can be hugely advantageous depending on what you’re doing because sometimes parks won’t allow even vehicles inside or won’t allow vehicles with trailers inside. Having just tents will bypass this problem because you’ll be flying solo! While tents can be easy and compact, sometimes they’re also burdensome and a pain. If you’re going on loner jaunts across the country or world, you’re always stuck sleeping on the ground. This can become quite tiresome after a couple times and leave you yearning for the bed that pop up trailers can provide. If you’re only going for a short overnight camp, then maybe a tent would be best.

Another option you have is an RV. An RV gives you all the conveniences of home and is on the complete other end of the spectrum from tents. With an RV you are living inside a small palace with all the amenities you’re used too, such as showers, stoves, beds, bathrooms and living rooms. All these amenities however can come at a huge cost. An RV is not only a huge investment, but is very gas heavy and cumbersome. You must always be looking for RV parking, have to tow a car behind it if you want any semblance of mobility and then storage is always an issue. Another factor with RV’s is that unless you’re traveling a good amount of time per year, you won’t get your money out of it and recoup your initial investment.

Pop up trailers are a medium between constantly roughing it in tents and driving around in your home. With trailers you can pull them behind your car and drop them off with great ease. The advantages here are that you’re still getting shelter and protection from the elements without having a cumbersome burden of a RV. Pop up trailers will bless you with the critical amenities you need such as shelter, bed and kitchen, while leaving out all the frivolous additions an RV sustains. With a camper trailer you have the versatility you don’t have with an RV. Many parks don’t allow RV’s and you will be left camping either way. You also will have a way to get off the ground and out of a hot, sticky and potentially wet tent.

img10

Whichever vehicle you choose, be it pop up trailers, tents or an RV, there is one for your particular adventure or situation. Weigh the positives and negatives of each then make your decision. Do you want to be constantly roughing it? Traveling in excessive luxury or a nice median between the two?
