Figuring out the best camper for you

Finding the best camper for you will have to do with several important facts. What kind of vehicle will you be hauling or towing the camper with will determine the size of the camper. If you are looking for a fifth wheel camper you will need to have a pick- up truck fitted with a fifth wheel trailer hitch. Bumper pull campers can be pulled with about any vehicle that has a tow hitch on the bumper or receiver hitch mounted in the rear for pulling trailers. There are many sizes of campers available and some of the smaller campers can be pulled with a car or smaller pick-up. The larger campers will of course need a bigger more powerful vehicle to tow them. Some of the larger fifth wheel campers exceed 40 feet in length and are very heavy. In this case you may need a ¾ ton or 1 ton pick-up truck or a heavy duty SUV to pull these campers.

What are you going to be using the camper for? If you need a camper for spending long periods of time in you may want to find one that has all the options. Today’s campers can be outfitted with all the comforts of home. The bathrooms will be complete with tubs, showers, vanities and toilets. The bathroom may be smaller, but will have everything you need. Full kitchens along with standard size appliances and living rooms with enough rooms for full size furniture and bed rooms again with full size furniture can be found in the larger campers. These campers are usually outfitted with power a power source, water and sewage storage and either propane or electric stoves and water heaters. You will be able to set up camp just about anywhere. These kinds of campers will be the best if you are retired and plan to do a lot of traveling and setting up camp in different parts of the country for weeks or months at a time.

How to Compare Different Family Tents

A camping trip is one of the most fun-filled activities that a family can take together, provided that they have the right equipment available. The first and probably most important item to obtain is a tent. They come in a variety of styles and sizes from a number of name brand manufacturers, but the question for novice campers is “what kind will be the best fit?”

There are a large number of considerations that must be evaluated in order to get the best possible tent and this will include such items as how large the family is, and how much equipment can be safely held inside the portable structure in order to protect it from bad weather (since it can come up in a hurry). A tent is more than a portable shelter however, since it is basically a home away from home when in the great outdoors. It must have sufficient space for everybody to move around comfortably and still be able to be easily stored and secured when it is time to move to another location or go home.

How To Choose The Right Camping Air Mattress

So you have a camping trip planned and you are not sure what you are going to sleep on that
will be comfortable? This is one main concern for most people when it comes to going on a
camping trip. We all know that there is no possible way to bring an actual mattress with us,
but there are air mattresses that are specifically made for you’re camping needs. There are
a variety of different types of air mattress ranging from twin size, queen size, and king
size. They are just like a normal bed, just filled with air and inflatable. The most
important thing to remember is not to choose the first air mattress that you see. You should
take the time to see which other options you have and read the boxes to see if the mattress
is of good quality. You want to be sure that while camping you will be able to have a
comfortable nights sleep. There are a couple tips that you can take into consideration while
looking for the right air mattress to take on your camping trip.

Tip 1-What Is The Size Of Your Tent?

How to be a Polite Camper

Planning a camping trip can be very exciting. Enjoy yourself, but also be aware that you have a responsibility to be a polite camper and leave your destination as pristine as possible for the next group along the way. Here are some tips to make your camping adventure fun, safe and considerate:

1. Reuse existing campsites whenever possible. Find a clear area to pitch your tent rather than removing or digging up vegetation. Keep your campsite at least 200 feet away from trails and other campsites. Walk around other campsites rather than through them and respect the privacy of other campers. They will also appreciate it if you avoid noisy games, loud music and other disturbances. A little camping etiquette goes a long way.

Healthy Camping Snack Alternatives

When camping, it is important to keep an ample supply of healthy and nutritious snacks readily on hand. Portable, lightweight and nutrient dense snack can help to ensure that you have a great time, and more importantly, will provide you with peace of mind in the event that you are cut off from an available food source.

Trail mix is a popular option for campers because they are nutritious, delicious and easy to transport. Simply mixing a combination of almonds, cashews, peanuts and dried cranberries in a zipper seal sandwich bag can provide healthy sustenance. For those of you that may be looking for something with a bit more variety, try mixing peanuts, plain M&Ms, banana chips, raisins, and Cheerios together.
