In 1916, William Shattuck applied for a patent for his "Convertible Outing Trailer." It caught on very quickly and was mass produced that same year.
There are several types of pop up campers. They include: high wall models that feature standard height counters and extra storage space, off road models that feature raised suspension for off road use, hauler models that feature a cargo deck, and light weight models that can be pulled by a motorcycle.
Benefits of pop up campers include: lower cost, the convenience of unhitching and using your vehicle once you reach your destination, and ease of storage. Most models have a set up time of 30 to 60 minutes.
Pop up trailers can be purchased with extras such as air conditioning, bike racks, microwave, cable TV hookup, hard wall shower, heated mattress pads, screen rooms, window shades and much more.
