What are the different types of camper trailers?
When you’re heading to your home away from home, choosing the perfect camper trailer to take with you is one of the most important decisions you will make. When it comes to camping in the Australian outback, camper trailers can make all the difference between a good or a bad trip. From a pop up camper, a tear drop camper or an off road camper, this camping gear store can help you find a trailer that will tick all your boxes. For longer trips or brief stays in caravan parks or designated camping areas, class travel trailers or a pop up camper will be your best bet. If you’re wanting to take your jet ski, kayak, tinny or bike, a toy hauler will make sure your recreational equipment is safe and secure for the journey. Tear drop trailers or pop up trailers, also called camper trailers, are great for campers who prefer glamping or are travelling with family or friends. Or if you want to go for a 1930s American icon, airstreams make for great accommodation for families or couples.
How to choose the best camper trailer?
From a pop up camper, tear drop camper to an off road camper, there is a huge range of camper trailers to choose from. So how do you know whether you’re choosing the right camper for your trip?

What a lot of campers don’t realise, especially first-time campers, is that there are guidelines and regulations on how much you can tow on Australian roads. If you have no intention of changing your tow vehicle, this is the best place to start. If you’re travelling from state-to-state on your camping trip, don’t forget to check the towing rules per state as they could be different. The weight and size of your vehicle, maximum tow ball weight, Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) and Gross Combination Mass (GCM) will determine how much you can tow and what your maximum towing capacity is. So don’t forget to check them before you embark on your camping trip and the open road.

Once you decide where you will be taking your camper trailer, you also must make sure your trailer is in good order to withstand the elements.
