What to Consider When Choosing an Off Road Camper

  • Written by NewsServices.com

Off-road campers can grant travellers even greater access to secluded camping spots as well as giving them the ability to traverse even the toughest and uneven terrains around the country. However, with these advantages also comes a different set of rules for driving and operating an off-road camper, plus certain things you should consider before purchasing one. This article will go over some of the most important things to consider when choosing an off-road camper.

Size & Weight

The most important consideration when it comes to off-road campers is knowing its exact size and weight. This will play a critical role in whether or not the camper trailer is an appropriate choice for you. You should ensure that your towing vehicle’s towing capacity is adequate enough to handle the off-road camper you’re thinking about purchasing. Choosing a camper trailer that’s too heavy and bulky can put intense strain on your towing vehicle, potentially leading to extensive damage on both your towing vehicle and the camper trailer itself. Sometimes finding your vehicle’s maximum towing capacity can be difficult. Fortunately, if this information cannot be found easily in your towing vehicles owner’s manual, there are a number of free online calculators available that are designed to assist you in finding out your specific vehicle's towing capacity.

Suspension

Another important factor to consider is the suspension of the trailer. You want to make sure that the suspension can handle the weight and terrain you’ll be taking it on. Most off-road campers come equipped with upgraded suspension as standard, so for most, this won’t be an issue. However, if you’re planning to travel on particularly harsh terrains or you’ll be driving across rough surfaces for extended periods of time, you may want to ask your camper trailer dealer about any options or extras you may be able to upgrade your off-road camper with in order to ensure its suspension can withstand your travels.

Storage

When choosing an off-road camper trailer, storage is also a crucial consideration. You want to make sure that there’s enough space to store everything you’ll need for your trip as well as any tools for your towing vehicle or camper trailer. Most off-road campers are equipped with adequate storage as standard, but for those who may be taking an extended off-road holiday, extra storage is never a bad thing. If you think you’ll need added storage on top of what’s already offered with your camper trailer, speak to your dealer about added storage options and whether or not they’re worth the extra cost and time for installation.

Budget

Budget will generally be the overruling deciding factor for which off-road campers are the best option for you. An off-road camper in general will cost more than an on-road camper trailer, however, in return for the extra cost, you typically get premium features, upgraded and durable construction, and the ability to go off-road at your leisure without fear of causing any damage to your camper trailer. If you’ve already decided that an off-road camper is the best choice for you, it’s highly likely you’ll be able to find a camper that suits both your budget and needs.
