Thinking About Buying a Popup Camper? Here Is What to Consider

If you are getting ready for all your upcoming traveling, a popup camper may be the perfect addition to bring to your destination! Popup campers are typically easy to travel with and can be inexpensive. This allows you and your family to travel the open roads, avoid paying for hotels, and gives you a safe and secure place to rest.  This can be a great option for a lot of people; when you are looking into buying a popup camper, here are some things to consider.

Popup campers were created for convenience!

They are essentially one step up from a tent. They allow you and your family to be in a safer structure while camping. Although they are easy to travel with, they are not the most spacious. Their floor plans can differ but usually have a bed, dinette, small kitchen area and maybe a sofa. That being said, consider what you absolutely want and need in your popup camper. Amenities and features can take your camper to the next level if done correctly. Do you need a bathroom, an AC unit, a large bed, fold out beds, kitchen area for cooking, or additional storage space? These are things to look for and mention to your sales team when searching for your ideal camper.

Popup Campers are Affordable and Easy to Drive!

Popup campers can range from $3,000-$15,000 depending on the brand and floor plan that you need and want. There are some that are very basic, and your dollar can go a little bit further than it would with other RV’s. Popup campers are also very easy to tow and light weight. You do not need a very large vehicle to tow it and can maneuver it around camp sites pretty easily. If you are a frequent camper and tend stress out about the transportation of the trailer, this would be a great option for you.

Where do you plan to travel in your popup camper?

When traveling in a popup camper, your travel plans actually play a very large role in if it is a good fit for you. Popup campers have thin walls which can be frustrating if you don’t plan correctly. They do not block out noise well, and climate control can be difficult if you do not have an AC unit. If you plan to travel in the heat of the summer, understand the pros and cons of this before you head out. It should protect you from inclement weather as well as the heat from the sun. When you are looking at buying a popup camper, these are some aspects to consider as you look at different models.

Buying a popup camper is such a great addition to your camping travels this summer! You will be able to sleep under the stars a little more comfortably and stay protected from any rain or bugs as you would have a hard time escaping if you stayed in your tent. There are so many great brands of popup campers and we urge you to ask questions and consider some of these things when you are searching for your perfect camper!
