Trailer tents and how to use them

Trailer tent (or pop-up camper), is a name for a towed vehicle used for weekend recreation or holiday camping. These trailers tend to be practical, since they offer a lot of space when set up, but only take a fraction of it when collapsed, which is great news for people with smaller garages. You can park it in a normal-sized garage, but still get a full-sized camper trailer when needed. Trailers usually consist of frame, hard roof, hard box and soft walls that are made of canvas or similar soft (but durable) material that provides great protection from rain or sun. Inside of the trailer tent you can find standard equipment that you would find in conventional campers. This includes (but is not limited to): table, water tanks, storage cabinets, bunk beds, refrigerator, propane tank and furnace, air conditioner, exterior or interior shower, water heater, microwave oven, etc. From this list you can see that you can get a fair amount of commodities inside, and some premium models even have inside showers, toilet and slide-out section for increasing the interior space. When setting up a trailer tent, make sure it is leveled, disconnected from the vehicle and secured (choked). Roof is then raised and bunks from the back and front are pulled out. After that, you can set up additional equipment if you have it. This includes extending the dinner table, hooking up the water tank, propane tank and electricity, making the beds and turning AC or heating. Only thing that’s left is to lay back, open up a can of beverage and enjoy your free time. You can check the prices here: Trailer Tent Rental
