Convenience: With a swing out camper trailer tent, it can often take 2 people to set up and take down and you also have to peg out the tent section as well. Some of the newer models advertise that they can be set up by one person, but these will be top-of-the-range camper trailers. The wind up camper trailers are faster to erect and can be accomplished by one person, but again, they are usually more expensive than swing out trailers.
Off road: If you want to go off road with your camper trailer tent, your trailer needs a heavy duty construction, including suspension, tyres, brakes and hitch. All of this costs more money than a regular camper trailer, so be sure that you want an off road camper trailer, before you spend your hard earned money on something that won’t suit you.
Towing capacity of your vehicle: You need to know the towing capacity of your vehicle, before you make a mistake and buy a camper trailer that is too heavy for you to tow. It is also a sensible idea to consider the age and state of your vehicle and if you are unsure about the capacity of your vehicle to tow a camper trailer, check with your regular mechanic for their advice.
