Camping tent trailers - luxury in the simple life
from: Helping Us With CampingCamping has come a long way from the days of struggling to set up a canvas over several unwieldy tent poles and then hammering tent pegs into hard-packed ground while you wonder wistfully whether a hotel mightn't have been a better option. The dazzling array of camping tent trailers available now represent the high end of the camping spectrum, offering as much or as little luxury as you want for all your outdoor experiences.
Camping tent trailers offer a reasonably inexpensive alternative to a traditional Recreational Vehicle and can be towed by almost any type of car, SUV or truck. For the level of comfort and space they provide, camping tent trailers can be stored compactly and are easy to assemble, some even taking less time to set up than a tent.
Taking a camping tent trailer on vacation means that you don't have to deal with problems such as rain-sodden or cold ground, but you still have the pleasing sense of being in a tent, enjoying the outdoor environment. The tent trailer has a solid, off-ground floor and built-in windows which enhance the feeling of spaciousness. The variety of options in style and accessories for today's tent trailers is almost bewildering. All are waterproof and relatively secure, but you can choose models with flexible canvas or even with solid walls, meaning that you can indulge in a little more luxury than traditional camping provides.
Camping tent trailers have generous sleeping space. They offer a minimum of two double beds, often with extra space to convert the dining area into another bed. They are also equipped with facilities ranging from basic stoves, sinks and refrigerators to fireplaces, dishwashers, dryers and even hot tubs. The sky really is the limit. Many companies offer detailed floor plans on their websites so that you can browse in comfort before you buy. Keep in mind that the camping tent trailer does need to be set up once you reach your destination, so try balancing the equipment options against the ease and speed with which the tent can be erected and dismantled. You should also consider safety requirements. The more cooking facilities, air conditioning and other electrical appliances you have the more you need to think about guarding against potential hazards these might cause. However, many styles of camping tent trailers already come equipped with fire extinguishers and other safety features.
The cost of a camping tent trailer ranges from about $3,000 - $15,000. Some camping purists might balk at the level of home-style conveniences available with a camping tent trailer but it's all about your personal preference. If being able to relax in a hot tub or cook a meal with ease matter to you while on your outdoor adventure, why not choose the accessories that are important to your needs? Camping no longer needs to be about deprivation!
