Learn About the RV Lifestyle
For many RV owners, RVing is more than just a hobby—it’s a lifestyle. After all, an RV is meant to provide just about everything you need for everyday life. The high buy-in price of RV ownership, however, often keeps people who might want to experience this lifestyle from doing so. A pop-up camper is a perfect introduction to RVing because it provides you with the necessary amenities for trips at a more affordable price and scale. You can start learning about the more practical elements of RV ownership such as the use of the fresh, grey, and black water tanks, RV propane use, RV maintenance, and towing on a scale that’s easy to master. Of course, you still get the fun parts, too. You’ll have the exposure to the outdoors and all your favorite activities at hand. All this comes at a price that’s much cheaper than any full-sized travel trailer.
Close to Nature
For those whose camping experience is primarily limited to tent camping, pop-up campers provide an excellent transition to the RV lifestyle because you still feel close to nature when staying in a pop-up camper. Like a tent, the soft walls of most pop-up campers allow you to feel the temperature changes, air, and wind, and hear the noises of nature wherever you go. On the other hand, you’re also getting the best of having indoor amenities, too. For the elderly, the infirm, and families with young kids, you get the experience of being outdoors while not having to sleep on the cold, hard ground. This combination is totally unique to pop-up campers and it’s one of the main reasons they’re so popular.
Affordable
Pop-up campers are incredibly affordable, by RV standards. If money isn’t a concern, a massive bunkhouse-style RV will be fun to have around. But if the price is important, you can save tens of thousands of dollars by choosing a pop-up camper. Many pop-up campers sit in the $15-30K range, with the price varying greatly based on amenities and size. Most travel trailers start around $30k and get more expensive from there. The price differences are even more exaggerated in the used market, with some pop-up campers costing as little as a few thousand dollars while their similarly-sized travel trailer siblings don’t drop below $10K.
Pop-up campers aren’t just cheaper in initial price; they are also much cheaper to own. Insurance is much cheaper for most pop-up campers and they don’t require much in the way of utilities to operate.
Easy to Tow
For those who are new to the world of RVing, towing might be a major concern. Pop-up campers are great because you can often tow them with your normal minivan, truck, or SUV. When you tow them, they’re easier to handle because they’re much lower in height than travel trailers so the wind has less of an effect on them. Since they’re also much lighter, braking is much easier, too.
These are just some of the awesome benefits of pop-up camper ownership. To learn more, stop by a Trailer Source location. Our dealerships can be found in Wheat Ridge, Colorado Springs, Littleton, and Erie, Colorado, near Denver. Give us a call or drop by today!
