The Tent Trailer Is A Tent With Class

A Tent Trailer is a small lightweight foldable trailer that can virtually be towed by any vehicle.  It is also known as a Pop Up Trailer or Folding Trailer.  Although, it is the most inexpensive of the RVs, it still comes with some of the amenities that you would find in a more expensive trailer.  Depending on the model of Folding Trailer, you could have a propane system, a 120 volt electrical system, a fresh water and waste water tank.  They are also equipped with a small stove, furnace, sink, refrigerator or ice box (uses blocks of ice to keep food cold).  Some models also include porta-potties (this is not your traditional bathroom).  Depending on model, you can sleep up to 8 people.  Some models even have king size beds.

The roof of the Pop Up trailer is usually solid, the walls are made of canvas, some of the more expensive models have composite or fiberglass walls.  These trailers have one thing in common, when you are done using them they all fold down to become a low profile trailer. 

The bottom line is that a Folding Trailer is ideal for individuals or families that are looking to move out of their tents into an RV.
