more about Campers on the way!

The smallest and lightest in the camper world. Designed to tow and park easily with most cars and small SUVs. They come as solid shelled units like the traditional Teardrop or there is also a considerable variety of tent and foldout campers that extend in size once parked. There are also several styles designed for the offroad or overland adventurers out there. A great way to get started camping for couples and small families.

If you desire more room and maybe even a bathroom you may want to consider stepping up to a small travel trailer. They obviously come in many shapes and sizes but for our purposes we focus on anything that is less than 20 feet. It seems as if there is an infinite selection in this category and it can be rather overwhelming and sometime frustrating when exploring all the options. The step up in size and features may also come with a step up in vehicle towing capacity. 

The third type that we discuss is the small motor vehicle type of camper where the camper and vehicle is combined into one unit. The most common of these, and seeming very popular right now, are the “Type B” or van style units that are all encompassed in a large van or the bigger brother “Type C” which is typically a van or truck style cab with a larger camper shell built of the back. These can push my definition of a small camper which I have set as 20 feet but when you look at not needing a tow vehicle one could argue that they are shorter and easier to drive. A hybrid of this style that I will put in this group is the truck camper where camper shell resides in the bed of a pickup truck. These are removable when not camping. Sorry, lots of options and quite a bit of grey area.
