Folding campers are starter recreational vehicles used in camping. Just like other RVs they have advantages and disadvantages.

Folding campers are classified as recreational vehicles that can be towed. The interior is made of fabric roofs and walls suitable for camping nights or short stays. They are also known as tent campers or popup campers. The exteriors are usually made of canvas or fiberglass. The best folding campers are spacious and fully-furnished. The best manufacturers are Palomino, Pennine, RV-n- motorhomes and Conway.

Folding campers are sleep-off-the-ground recreational vehicles. They are more luxurious than tents but cheaper than caravans. They are towable by car, truck or SUV. They weigh less and need no special side view mirrors. However they are not so perfect for windy and stormy weather.

Folding campers at a glimpse:
One must have a big car to tow it. Consider noseweight and towing capacity. Tow weight must be positive after subtracting the camper weight, gear weight, and people weight. Some websites provide tow car weight database grouped according to car model/manufacturer.

Storage is safe and convenient. They can be stored in the garage but be sure the dimensions are matched. Check out storage brackets for lesser space occupancy.

Consider size. It must be able to accommodate the family. Recommended size is one larger than the actual need. Length range is from 10 to 23 feet (when opened). They are specified according to berth size tents.
