Pop-Up Campers: Lightweight, But Worth It?

Pop-up campers used to be extremely popular with many different kinds of campers. They were easy to setup, easy to tear down, and easy to get from campground to campground. However, many people started to purchase expensive motor homes and other types of campers and decided that the pop-up campers were not for them. Thanks to the economy however, the pop-up campers are coming back in style.

Pop-up campers are one of the cheapest type of campers that you can purchase. They are also one of the smallest in physical size, and can be easily towed behind a minivan or truck. Unlike other campers which require electricity or a generator to be operated, you can open up and use a pop-up camper by using human power. All you have to do is hand crank it to open up and you will be able to sit back, relax and enjoy your pop-up camper.

Another great thing about pop-up campers is that they are affordable. The price of a pop-up camper is the lowest that you can go without resorting to a tent! Sure, many people may not like that you do not have as much room as a fifth wheel. Thankfully, a pop-up provides you shelter as well as some of the comforts of home, such as a bed. Many people do not have the ability to enjoy this on the open road. However, with just a few thousand extra dollars, you can purchase a pop-up camper to be your own little home away from home.

Sure, there are a few downsides to pop-up campers, but nearly all campers have their flaws. Some of the worst problems that you could experience with a pop-up campers include lack of stability, as well as difficulty in setup. Most of the time, the lack of stability will only be if there is a very large storm passing through. Some pop-up campers are not made as level as they should be and can rock back and forth in a heavy rain. This will stop as soon as the storm has passed over your camp site. The second problem with difficult setup is actually not much of a problem at all. Sure, the first few times you attempt to setup your pop-up camper, it will take a bit longer. However, the process only takes a few minutes and when compared to pitching a tent, is actually much easier on your back.

Whether you are the type of person who goes camping every weekend or just likes to escape to the country a few times a year, a pop-up camper is for you. The price, low towing need, and ability to stay inside on an enclosed, dry surface is enough reason to put forward the small amount of money that a pop-up camper will cost you. Enjoy your new pop-up camper and remember to camp smart as well as safe!
