There’s no denying that “glamping” in an RV is a lot of fun. While camping in a tent can be a lot of fun, too, the temperature swings, the lack of a bathroom, and not having a mattress like you have at home can all make the experience a lot less exciting for many people. Having a travel trailer to carry along can give you the comforts of home while still being able to experience the great outdoors.
Smaller options like teardrops save range by being efficiently-shaped. Popup campers have been another low-profile and sometimes light weight option, too. But, people don’t like these options because there’s limited space, limited amenities, and in the case of popups, limited privacy and insulation.
One camper that caught my eye pretty quick was Aliner’s hard-sided popup campers. Like a canvas-sides popup camper, these fold down to be pretty small during towing, which cuts back drastically on drag. Plus, they offer units as light as 1200 pounds , so they definitely offer something my EAV can tow. Want proof?But, like any family, my wife and kids want the amenities. They want things like a toilet, a shower, and room to stand up inside the camper.
