2 min


Buying your very first camper trailer can be a daunting and almost overwhelming experience, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be! Shopping for camper trailers becomes easy when you head into the hunt armed with the right resources, particular figures and a whole lot of enthusiasm! If you’re feeling ready to start investing in your outdoors lifestyle, then you’ll want to follow these tips for buying your first camper trailer! Keep reading for a few expert pointers and careful considerations that you need to make before you fall in love with any trailer models…

Set your budget

First thing’s first, you’ll need to set that budget of yours! This is going to determine where you can shop, the type of trailer that you can afford and whether you can invest in a first or second hand camper trailer. So, it’s safe to say that it’s a pretty important one to just get done as soon as possible! Set your budget to get started on your search.

How big is your camping clan?

Of course, the other number that you’ll want to focus on is the number of people who are going to be coming on those camping trips with you. Determine your regular numbers and factor in any potential visitors or extra family members such as pets to find the right size for you.

Think about the kind of camper that you are

It is good to remember the type of camping that you actually like to do when you’re deciding on the right trailer for you. If you’re a frequent adventurer who likes to stay off the beaten track, you’ll want an off road camper trailer. Maybe you’re looking for a tonne of creature comforts to convince the kids that the outside lifestyle doesn’t have to be difficult? Then you’ll want to look for a kitted out hard floor or dual fold trailer model.

Factor in the future

Always ensure that you are factoring in your future when you’re looking at making any significant investments. Your camper trailer will give you a legitimate lifetime of adventures, so you want to be as certain as possible that the model you choose for yourself is going to work for you and your fellow campers, long term. Factor in movements such as growing families, relocation, guests and weather to get the most out of your trailer.

Don’t forget about the potential add ons

Hey, you can always add to that camper trailer as time goes by! Accessories can really transform even the most basic of camper trailers, and you can slowly add them to your model instead of having to splash out all at once! Think mini fridges, barbecues and water filtration systems.

Look for community

The camping community is an incredibly welcoming one, and it is the perfect place to get some amazing advice and insight from those who’ve actually been in your exact position! There are plenty of resources out there, including online forums, social media groups, magazines and camper trailer trade shows – just to name a few! You might even want to make a few new connections at your favourite campground!

Find a reputable local provider

Lastly, take your time and research Cub Campers or other camper trailer provider to find an amazing quality model that’s going to come with the support and advice that you need. This is particularly important for first time buyers who do not know an awful lot about the product they’re purchasing. Do your research and keep it local, you won’t go too far wrong!
