A trailer tent is something that many people who like to get away for a break use as an alternative to a caravan or a tent. But what exactly is a trailer tent and how do you know if it is the right choice for you?
A trailer tent is a trailer that folds out into a tent essentially. The trailer part forms the sleeping area, typically having 2 double beds so suitable for a family of four or two couples for example. The tent part that folds out creates the living space.
These are some of the reasons that people enjoy trailer tents…
Easier to Pitch – A tent of the same size would be a lot more hassle to set up, so if you want something that is quick and easy, this is a good option.
Can be Maintained Yourself – Because it is a trailer, you can do lots of the maintenance yourself and it doesn’t have as many complex parts that could go wrong as a caravan or a motorhome. You can even order replacement trailer parts online from somewhere like this autoandtrailer.com/shop/trailer-parts
A Larger inside Space than a Traditional Tent – If you feel that a typical tent is too small, then this will not only give you the additional space, but it also means that you have beds that are raised up off the ground.
Easier to Tow than a Caravan – If you are new to towing, a trailer tent is an easier option than a caravan, as well as being more economical from a fuel perspective.
