Why Choose a Pop-Up Camper?

A pop-up camper is a unique style of RV. It offers the typical RV amenities to make your travels more comfortable, such as a cozy bed. But it also offers a unique design with a collapsible part of the unit. This part can lay flat during transportation and storage, then be raised when you arrive at the campsite to give you more internal space. There are plenty of benefits to getting a pop-up camper, which we’ll discuss below. When you are ready to shop models for sale, visit The Outpost RV. We are located in Middlebury, Indiana, and also serve those in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Stay Close to Nature

A big reason to go camping is to enjoy the wonders of nature. You may want something more comfortable than a flimsy tent and a sleeping bag on the hard ground. But that doesn't mean you want to be cooped up in a box, far removed from the sights and smells of nature.

A pop-up camper offers a great compromise. You get to enjoy the comforts of RVing, such as a real bed. But the soft walls of many pop-up campers let you still feel the temperature outside and hear the noises of nature. You can enjoy a more genuine experience of being outdoors while staying cozy inside.

Maximize Your Budget

Not every family has the funds to buy a giant RV with fireplaces and TVs. Anyone who is on a budget will love the family-friendly price point of a pop-up camper. Many models come in between $15,000 and $30,000. If you check out used pop-up campers, you can see models for only a few thousand dollars! Similar models of other RV styles could cost significantly more.

The initial price of pop-up campers tends to be lower, but the savings don't stop there. Insurance prices are lower, too, which adds up to significant savings over time. These RVs also cost less in their maintenance costs and utility bills. 

Enjoy Easy Towing

Some RVs can only be towed by a large pickup truck and look quite difficult to hook up. Pop-up campers can be towed by a wider range of vehicles, such as a minivan, truck, or SUV. They tend to be easier to tow as well. Their lower height means they are less affected by wind and they obstruct your rear vision less. Those new to the RV lifestyle will enjoy how easy they are to learn to tow. RV veterans will love the change of pace of an easier towing experience.

Enjoy Easy Storage

Unless you are living full-time in your RV, you will need somewhere to stow your model. The larger your rig, the harder it can be to find a space that can protect it from the elements. 

Thanks to the collapsible part of the unit, a pop-up camper can transform into a compact rig. It'll take up less space in storage without sacrificing valuable interior space at the campsite. When you arrive at your destination, you can pop this area out and get plenty of room inside. Because pop-up campers can take up less space, it'll be much easier finding space on your property to store it. Plus, these models are made to be durable and tough against the elements. If you aren't able to find a covered area to store it, you won't have to worry as much as you would with other RV styles.
