How much Does a Pop Up Camper Weigh(29 examples)

A pop up camper weighs 2540 lbs on average. They can range from 700-4600 lbs depending on size, equipment, hardwalls, and liquids. The lightest I found was Viking Express 9.0 at 760 lbs GVW, and the heaviest was Coleman Avalon at 4600 lbs GVW.

A popup is much lighter than a full size travel trailer like 2019 Airstream Flying Cloud at 7600 lbs or a fifth wheel like 2019 Heartland ELKRIDGE fifth wheel at 15,500 lbs. Here is more info on trailer weights.

There are a few factors that affect weight, such as: softside vs hardsize, slideouts, size, materials, and liquid carrying capacity. Water weighs about 8 lbs gallon, so if you are carrying fresh, grey, and black water that really adds up. Propane weighs about 4 lbs per gallon.
