Lightweight Campers
We’ve been looking for a camper that can be towed with a small or mid-size vehicle. These are a few of the options we’ve found.
Weights listed by manufacturers are dry weight and do not include options or any of your ’stuff’. Campers listed at under 1500# dry weight will be 2000# or more loaded.
It seems like tent trailers would be the most obvious option but most have all the amenities of a regular travel trailer and are surprisingly heavy. You won’t get a full kitchen or bath but these are very lightweight trailers with traditional pop-up style.

The smallest Palamino P-Series
The molded fiberglass trailers affectionately called ‘eggs’ by their fans are very light hard-side trailers. The absolute best place to look for more information on new and vintage eggs is the forum at fiberglassrv.com.

(13′) is advertised as around 1000# with NO options. (Ours was 1350# empty with the very basic options of sink, stove, porta-potti, ice box, battery and propane tank.) The 13′ Casita and the Trillium Outback
from Canada are similar, with a little heavier starting weight.
both make very light A-frame shaped folding hard side trailers. Aliner also makes a couple of fixed wall trailers, the Cabin A and the Twist.

Ouzel Falls, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado - September 17th, 2006
It was an amazing day, a once in a life time hike. I don’t mean the park would only look that way once in my lifetime, just that my timing will probably never be that good again. It was still summer by a few days, fall color was close to peaking, winter was making it’s first serious attempt to take over.

Utah, Las Vegas, Lake Powell Road Trip
For our 25th anniversary last April we went on a road trip. We visited Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks in Utah, stopped in Las Vegas and renewed our vows at a drive up wedding chapel, spent a little time in Page Arizona visiting Lake Powell, then home via the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.

Old Albums Have Been Updated
All of the old albums have been updated with captions - at least as much as I can remember. Yeah, okay, some of them say stuff like ’somewhere in Colorado’ but I thought it was better to be vague than to make something up for places I couldn’t remember.

Howdy!
C’mon in, I’ve been remodeling. I love to research trips, I’ll spend months planning a three day road trip. I’ll visit the mega-travel sites and the smallest homepage like mine. But sites full of photos with no information to go with them drive me nuts. You see a picture and you want to be there but it doesn’t say where ‘there’
is! You know what I mean, sites just like - this one. Oh. Ooops. I’m really trying to reform. Captions, I promise! And maybe trip reports.
The old sites will still be available if anyone is interested. I will try to clean them up a bit, I know they’re from the ‘busier the better’ days of personal home pages.
My tool box: Jalbum.net for albums, a terrific program with a gazillion skins created by dedicated Jalbum supporters. WordPress blog software, another free program with a dedicated support community. NVU is a good web site editor, also open source and free to use.
Thanks for visiting!
