Why Choose a Small Camper
While the saying "bigger is better" often holds true, there are many situations where a smaller travel trailer has distinct advantages. Lightweight and easy to tow, smaller models are a great choice for couples and anyone new to RVing. Even seasoned pros can appreciate a compact towable trailer that's easier to maneuver.
Small trailer options include pop-up campers, teardrop trailers, and ultra-lightweight trailers. Many small campers can easily be towed by an SUV. Check your SUV's towing capacity with our RV tow guide.
Beyond being lighter and easier to tow, small campers simplify parking and backing into campsites, and often lead to lower maintenance costs. Depending on your needs, downsizing can be a worthwhile tradeoff.
Benefits of a Small Camper
Easier to Tow and Maneuver
A lightweight camper is much less daunting to tow, especially for beginners. You'll have a less stressful drive and won't have to wrestle with a large rig on winding roads or windy days. The lower weight has less impact on your tow vehicle's turning radius and stopping distance. This agility makes it easier to navigate narrow roads and busy areas, and parking or backing into tight campsites becomes much simpler.
Increased Accessibility to Campsites
Your compact camper can take you to places larger RVs can't go. Many national parks, state parks, and older campgrounds have size restrictions, and a smaller RV opens up a world of possibilities for more secluded and scenic spots. This allows you to get closer to nature, away from crowded tourist hubs.
Financial Savings
The financial benefits of a smaller camper are significant. The initial purchase price is typically lower, as fewer materials are used in construction. You'll also save on:
- Fuel: A lighter load means better gas mileage for your tow vehicle, which is especially helpful in rural areas where gas stations may be far apart.
- Insurance: Lower replacement costs often lead to lower insurance premiums.
- Maintenance: Smaller rigs generally require less maintenance, resulting in lower upkeep costs.
- Storage: A compact camper can often fit in a garage or driveway, saving you the expense of off-site storage fees.
Variety of Options
The world of small campers is diverse, with a range of styles to suit different needs:
- Pop-up campers: Fold down flat for towing and storage, then expand at the campsite to offer surprisingly comfortable living space.
- Teardrop trailers: Ultra-lightweight and streamlined, often featuring a rear galley kitchen and a cozy sleeping area. Small teardrop trailers typically start between $15,000 and $25,000, making them one of the most affordable entry points into RV ownership.
- Ultra-lightweight trailers: Manufacturers are producing compact travel trailers with lengths under 14 feet and dry weights as low as 1,500 pounds, built with advanced materials to reduce weight without sacrificing amenities.
- Truck campers: These sit in the bed of a pickup truck, offering a versatile and mobile camping solution.
Modern Small Campers Are Packed with Features
Don't let the size fool you. Modern small campers are designed to maximize every inch of space, and many come equipped with full bathrooms, well-equipped kitchens, and comfortable sleeping areas. Small travel trailers under 20 feet can still include full bathrooms, often in a compact wet-bath format. The right small camper doesn't ask you to sacrifice comfort, it just keeps things manageable.
Our collection of smaller travel trailers proves that sometimes, less is indeed more. Meet with Camping Worldâs RV sales team of experts and find the camper that checks everything off your list. Stop by one of our RV dealerships, or browse our inventory online to find the small camper that fits your needs.
