Camper trailers have become popular for a number of reasons and when you compare them to the traditional “camping tent” the advantages are quite obvious and compelling. For starters you have the convenience of  simply hooking up and going camping, everything is contained in one place and this can save you a lot of time and trouble when setting out on a camping holiday. Camping trailers offer in built storage for cooking,  power generators, fishing equipment and any extra things you might want to take along for the trip.  When you arrive at your camping spot the camper trailer transforms very quickly from trailer to tent quickly  even in the hands of a total camping novice!  Sleeping up “off the ground” is another advantage, getting in and out of bed is easy and of course if the weather happens to turn nasty then at least your not going to wake up in a puddle of water! Is there a downside to using a camper trailer? Cost and storage may be issues to some people and of course your going to need a vehilce to tow the tailer with, beyond those two points the camper trailer offers a lot of advantages over the traditional camping tent.
