Pop up style campers are a great way to get started with recreational vehicles due to costing less than full size rigs.
GVW is short for Gross Vehicle Weight, which is how much your camper weighs with liquids and baggage. This is the number you need to find out if your car or truck can handle the load. Do not exceed 80% of max. A full size car or suv can tow one. Here is a guide to how much a car can tow.
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.
