Small Camper Sleeps 5+ (Not Your Grandma's Canned Ham!)

I really am liking that so many of these campers you are featuring are made by people who really use them and the design shows! Love the sub-title to the video!)

I am so glad that people are starting to create new trailers that look different than the generic ones that have been made for the past 30 years. This really looks retro and is gorgeous.

As a teardrop owner, I’d go for the model that has a bathroom. Mainly because some campgrounds require a rig to be “self-contained”. Some National Park campgrounds, for instance, explicitly prohibit portable showers. Most trips I’d probably use the bathroom as storage but it’s nice to have when needed. Plus we wouldn’t need the bigger kitchen space since we prefer to cook outdoors. Thanks for sharing this with the community, Drew!

I experienced the same kind of life, I am 74, and I still deal with it. You are strong, and u will get thru it. As old as I am, I still deal with feeling no one thinks I have a brain. Now it is double trouble because I am an older adult now. You're old, you are not thinking straight . Oh, you just don't remember. Now I know that things are not as clear as they were when I was 20, 30, or older. But I am very active and have a brain, and it works really well.

I'm a senior female In the desert My son died this year He was 30 years old I've been looking at videos for a year I am 63 years old I couldn't begin to imagine living in such luxury as what you offer I will die with your products in my mind Elizabeth in the outskirts of Quartzite AZ, with my old dog in my arms

Actually, I am a grandma and I do have a canned ham 🙂 This Sellwood is a beautiful trailer, extremely well appointed with so much storage! However, I love my little 1969 Shasta Compact and I wouldn't trade up for the world. Best wishes to this company; it is a gorgeous product. Great vid!

Drew, I read through the comments and your replies. Stop beating yourself up and feeling guilty about the timing of this post. You put out great content. Unfortunately, we are all dealing with sticker shock on EVERYTHING these days. Love ya!

In 1976, I drove the real used vantage trailer a 14’ X 6-8’ forget the name of the company counting the tong it was 17’ long . My wife two young children and my mother-in-law . We did all the spots Grand Canyon. South and North Dakota , Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, Estes Park were there was a Big flood that killed over 100 campers two days after we had left the camp ground, GRAND Tetons, Lake Tahoe, Big Sur , Santa Barbara , LA, San FRANCISCO, Alamo, Carlsbad caverns , Baton Rouge, Birmingham AL., Virginia and West Virginia, The Freedom Bell in Pa. and many many more places I have not listed. The trip was 6 weeks long and I drove 10,000 mile and I Loved ever minute ever the good, the bad and the ugly like my car braking down in North Dakota where I found some really good people that helped us a lot . SO GOD BLESSED AMERICA WITH SO MUCH BEAUTY AND IF YOU CAN GO SEE IT ALL ! Oh yes not to many years ago my wife and I went to see Yellow Stone Park which we had to pass up in 1976 because it would have added 2 thousand more miles to our trip. So in closing GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Now this is a truth-full site. And the comparatives were highly appreciated.

Just a smart use of space. I’m sold

My husband & I just start boondocking and love love love the practicle advice and insights you offered. Greatly appreciated

For single campers it would be nice to have it pre-wired for a backup camera. When you have no one to help guide you into a spot the rear camera is a must have.

As I get older , retro is calling to me for some reason. Every time I see airstream I think retro on the outside but super good on the inside

Yessss! This is the innovation we need in the camper space! Excellence use of space, multiple sleeping spaces in small space. Good quality. Bathroom! Never heard of this trailer till now but now it’s at the top of my list.

If I were to order one of these, I would go for the LAVEO dry flush toilet. No need for a stink pipe to make another hole in the roof. All that's needed is a 12volt source to actuate the motor to spin off the bowl contents for the next use. I have one in my class B van and Love it!!!

hands down best trailer I have ever come across . Worth the money 💛💛💛

A refreshingly different trailer, reminiscent of retro European caravans. I like it muchly, particularly the interior space and light.

This one looks just like the ones that my mom an grandparents had when I was a kid. Great times and great memories.

I am impressed with a few things on these trailers. First, never seen a sofa so easily converted into a bed,usually it’s multiple steps. Secondly the innovative design of sleeping space. Whose seen a hammock in any camper before? And the fold down cabinets that can be converted into a bed? That’s out of the box thinking. Third, the space. It was mentioned but it is so important to be able to move around. What if you are trapped indoors on a rainy day? Lastly, design. No one else I’ve seen builds with a retro look. They are all very cookie cutter designs and don’t look classy like these do. Only additions I’d like to see would be a back up camera for safety and an option to put solar on the roof for a continuous off grid power supply.

Love the size and how easily the rear bed slides out. Having leg room is so important for taller individuals to get peaceful and comfortable sleep.
