Camping Trailer

I had plans to make my own trailer (teardrop), using plans like those and ideas of my own.
However i never got to it, so now i might buy one.

Lightweight trailers Listings (2008/2010)

Listed here are a lot of compact trailers, not every single one of them but most.
I didn't put some of the most obscure/custom ones, unless there was at least some informative site.
What are listed here are only lightweight trailers (<2000 pounds) which can be towed by "regular" cars / minivans.

For a couple i recommend a teardrop, is cool and fuel-efficient, if you have kids then a popup is probably the best. If you live camping in adverse weather, then an "shell"/fiberglass is probably the best.

If you are looking for a camper to go alone in the winter (ie: hunting), you might like the A-Frames.

Teardrop trailers

Those are very small cool-looking "water drop" shape trailers, typically between 400 and 1500 pounds usually only sleeps 1 or 2, though a few can also sleep 1 or 2 childs as well.
Thi is usally just a bed and some storage, no living quarters usually.
Typically 5000-10000$

Popup trailers

Those are folding trailers, that expand a lot with canvas extensions, they can sleep a lot of people and are spacious and full of amenities for their weight.
On the other hand they are less sturdy and won't keep you cold/warm or keep a bear out
Also you have to work a little to open/close it and possibly deal with wet canvas etc...
Typically 5000-14000 $

Lightweight "shell" trailers

Those are "regular" trailers, thought smaller, lighter version, they provide living quarters though less than a popup, on the other hand they hard sturdier, hard shell, and well insulated and requires no setup whatsoever. Usually made of a fiberglass shell.
They are more expensive than trailers and popups, since there is more "material".
Typically 8000-16000 $
