Hold up! You’re not ready to hit Craigslist just yet! 😉 After you’ve determined how much you can tow, you still need to determine what features are “must haves” for your camper.
You’ll need extra capacity for camping gear and passengers, right? 🙂 Decide What Features You Want in a Camper You’ll want to know exactly how much your specific vehicle can tow, and then you’ll want to make sure you are looking at pop up campers that are well below your vehicle’s max tow rating. Don’t guesstimate and don’t rely on answers from people on Facebook groups or even here on the blog. Your vehicle’s tow ratings should be in your owner’s manual. The first thing you’ll need to do before you even begin to look at pop up campers is determine which vehicle you’ll tow your camper with and just how much weight that vehicle can tow. Determine How Much Camper Your Vehicle Can Tow I hope these tips will help you find the perfect camper for your family and your budget, too.
While I certainly don’t consider myself the definitive expert on the subject, I have learned a few things along the way that were helpful for us when we purchased our camper. I know how scary it can be to take the plunge into the world of pop up campers, especially it you’ve never owned one before. Not a week goes by that I don’t get an email or Facebook message asking for tips on buying a used pop up camper.
