Yesterday, my husband and I went to check out trailers. He has been wanting a pop-up trailer to take on trips. He likes small one, real light, easy to store, and easy to tow. We had 24-foot trailer before and it wasn’t easy to haul especially on a busy freeway. When we moved to a different place, the trailer was left idled for a while, so my husband thought that it was best to sell it. Now, he prefers a smaller pop up that has two fold-out beds, sink, refrigerator, stove, table and chairs, and heater. And also the kind that has a built-in outside gas stove for cooking and barbecuing. But, the downside of the little pop up is, it doesn’t have toilet and shower. The next size up with toilet and shower is way too heavy for our little truck to pull. So, big trailers are out of the question. We just have to get a porta-potty to take with us. As for taking baths, we can do the filipino style, with a bucket and a ladle (tabo) or we can buy the porta-shower and set it up from atop. Camping is more fun this way, right?

Here is the little pop-up trailer. Price ranges from $4,000 to $6,000. The ones complete with bathroom and toilet climb up to $11,000.

I also took pictures of the high end trailer which will require a heavy duty truck. Price ranges from $17,000 to $24,000.

Of course, there are trailers fancier than these but we’ll just be as happy with the inexpensive one, beside we don’t want to sell the farm to buy the fancy one (he he). Just like inexpensive car, it will take me any place that an expensive car will take me.
