    Pop up or other small camping trailer recommendations

    Looking to get a small trailer that can be towed with a 3.0 x5 or similar. I love camping but the wife loves comfort.

    if the wife loves comfort shes going to hate pop Up campers.

    Just a FYI is all

      we used one throughout the 80s-90s. a small trailer is still roughing it.
      the ultra small ones like these suck http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/rvs/4426754702.html

      i recommend something that is this size http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/rvs/4430498153.html

      DO NOT over load the tongue. we had the front wheels of our areostar come off the ground. if you cant maneuver the rongue by hand on flat ground it isnt loaded correctly.

      dont get one with a poty/shower in it. huge pita the clean.
      Much wow
      I hate 4 doors

        Get an old apache pop up tent trailer. That's what we have. We have a '69 apache Mesa that were restoring.The body is all aluminum and canvas, no wood or fiberglass, so you don't have to worry about dry rot with them, plus they are super light because they are all aluminum

              You could probably find a nice Coleman or something on craigslist for around two grand.

              The scamp is cool too.

              If you want something really cute, check out Tab campers. My grandparents had one and it had some pretty smart packaging and design features.

                I also echo the no potty sentiment. Shit is literally nastyyy.. Not worth the 'convenience', just make te walk down to the park bathroom or take a hike with a roll.

                  These are cool, can also be towed behind an e30.




                  Apache Camp Center in Everett had several in stock last weekend.

                    I've wanted to build a small camp trailer ever since reading this:

                    Teardrop Trailer: It seems that somehow the links to most of my build log pictures aren't working anymore on instructables, but you can see them all on my website https://sites.google.com/site/buildingateardroptrailer/ or, if that doesn't work, here is the link to th…


                    Or how about this?

                          A-Liner? I've owned mine for 20 years and have camped all over the place. It's a hard sided pop-up, very light weight and easy to tow. Low on creature comforts but it's warm and dry.
