Why a small trailer camper works so well
Putting the tent on the trailer rather than the car keeps your vehicle free once you’ve set up camp. You park, unhitch, open the tent and you’re done. Below the tent is a secure box for the bulky stuff: cool box, stove, chairs and wet gear. It also means the car doesn’t need roof bars rated for a tent and two adults.
The external roof-tent frame on Apache campers is adjustable lengthways, so it suits a wide range of roof tents, not just one brand. The body sits on a galvanised steel chassis with a phenolic-topped steel floor, and it’s all built to be towed by an ordinary family car.
Great for
- Weekend camping and festivals
- Touring holidays where you move every few days
- Wild camping trips and overland routes on good tracks
- Families who want the car free once they arrive
Spare wheels and wheel brackets are available for every small trailer camper we build.
Choosing your camper setup
Think about how many people are sleeping, how much kit you carry and what your car can tow. Smaller bodies are easier to manoeuvre and store at home; larger bodies swallow more kit. If you already own a roof tent, the without-tent version lets you fit your own. The GOV.UK guide to towing with a car sets out licence and weight rules, and our team can help you match the trailer to your car.
