Tom Stinnett RV's Does Not Carry Folding Campers
This lightweight unit can be towed by many SUVs and, in some cases, by family cars. (Check with your auto dealer for specific towing capacity.) When unhitched, smaller units can be maneuvered by hand into tight spots. Its compact size and collapsible sides allow for quick setup at your destination as well as easy storage between uses. This inexpensive unit has proven to be the ideal RV for many first-timers.
Size: 15 to 23 feet (when opened) 8 to 15 feet (when closed)
Cost: Prices range from $3,600 to $11,600. The average retail value of a folding camping trailer is $5,230.
Typical Features:
Sleeps up to eight people (depending on model) Combines the experience of open-air tent camping with the comforts, conveniences, and weather protection found in other RVs Provides sleeping, dining, bathroom (toilet and shower) and kitchen (stove and refrigerator) facilities. Some include a slideout section that creates additional floor space in the center of the unit. For a safe towing system, make sure you have the proper hitch, tire inflation and anti-sway devices.
