You have two kids, ages seven and five, and you’re planning to go on your first camping trip. You’re headed for the next province where you’ll be spending three days tops, and wondering if you would be going on more of these trips in the future. Given your situation, a pop-up camping trailer might just be what you need. Pop-up camping trailers are so-called because of the way they are set up. Typically, a hand crank or a motor-driven mechanism is used to make the top of the camper rise. The variety of camping trailers from Red Deer dealers is enormous and there is one to suit any family’s needs and budget. An obvious advantage of a pop-up camping trailer is that it weighs less and is therefore easier to pull. This means you don’t need a big truck to tow it. Most vans and SUVs are more than capable of towing a pop-up camping trailer. Because of the smaller size, it is also often less expensive than other trailer types, and when folded, gets even smaller, making for easier storage. Don’t let the diminutive size fool you, however. Most pop-up camping trailers now come with mini-kitchens and shower facilities.
On the downside, setting it up can be time-consuming—you’d have to unfold, slide out and crank it up to use it. And with walls made of canvas or vinyl, a pop-up camper is also often not as sturdy as a traditional camping trailer. You wouldn’t want to get caught inside it in a storm. There is also the risk of damage if you don't fold it up properly, or if you fold it up wet. Also, the limited space means that you can't take too much stuff with you. A pop-up trailer is an ideal option for small families who are just beginning to explore the camping lifestyle. While it falls behind fifth wheels and travel trailers in terms of space and amenities, it is a nice upgrade from a tent. Those planning on bringing fishing boats from Red Deer would be disappointed, however, as towing one of these with a pop-up camping trailer proves troublesome. Pop-up camping trailers are a good companion to start exploring the great outdoors. They offer the basic comforts and features that a novice camper needs.
