Types of Pop Up Campers
Not all pop up campers are made the same! In fact, there are three different types of pop up campers. They are:
1. Tent Trailers
Tent trailers, or tent campers, are the soft-shelled pop up campers that essentially look like a big tent. They are the most light-weight and easiest to use of all the RV types, but they are also the most prone to failure and breaking.
If you’re new to the RV lifestyle and want something easy, a tent camper might be right for you!
2. High Wall Campers
High wall campers are an innovative re-take on traditional tent campers. The walls on these campers are solid, so they’re sturdier and more durable. The top portion of the walls are canvas and expand upward for more interior space. The Trail Manor below is a good example of a high wall camper.
3. A-Frame Trailers
A-frame campers get their name from the shape of their roof, which expands up to look like an “A”, similar to the roof of a traditional house. This allows for more interior space with less weight, as well as a solid roof and walls rather than canvas.
