Do Small Campers Really Come with Bathrooms?
Yes, plenty of small campers do come with small bathrooms. They may be as extravagant as the one in your house. But they do get the job done.
It’s a common myth that small campers don’t come with bathrooms. That leads many to question whether or not they really come with one. Though it is common to feel that way since some small campers do look like they are crunching to make some space.
It still is safe to say that some of these campers indeed come with bathrooms that work just fine. These bathrooms are functional enough for you to not wait in huge lines in campgrounds, gas stations or fire stops if you want to have a go at the bathroom.
This is a huge advantage when you are on the road travelling throughout the country. And even when you are just on the trip with your family. Most campers with built-in bathrooms are also improvable by default!
Trust me when I say that most of these campers pack a good enough bathroom able to accommodate all the bathroom needs! Though you should keep your expectations low. These bathrooms are completely geared towards functionality and functionality only. They won’t provide the comforts of a modern home bathroom.
Why Choose a Small Camper?
There are many reasons and perks associated with small campers which makes them an ideal hot take for a trailer. Small campers pack sufficient bang for your buck and certainly will deliver a promising vacationing experience. Made unique with really compact designs and the most effective utilities, they still have a lot more reasons for you to write a cheque for them.
Here are some of the reasons that make Small Campers a wise choice for travelers to get their hands on. Additionally, I would list down why it makes them convenient options based on expectations I expect small campers to meet.
Easier to Maneuver
I think those of you who had the same experience I did with long rigs are aware of how uncomfortable and uneasy they may feel at first. The first time I was offered to tow my dad’s huge Jayco Eagle trailer, I was surely stoked.
It only feels a lot scarier having to carry around a large behemoth around sneaky corners and rough edges. Hats off to those 18-wheelers who do this daily on a daily basis.
However, my experience carrying around a Jayco Feather Micro- ultralight trailer was a different experience. It barely felt like I was carrying our living spaces for the weekends when I used my SUV. Making turns and dealing with mass traffic felt a lot safer with this small camper for sure.
Lightweight and Compactness Matter
This goes for any sort of RVs and in this case, small campers rule supreme. Agility and speed are important game-changers in your long trips as you can move around quicker. Saving time is an important aspect of camping especially when you do so frequently.
On the other hand, lightweight campers mean you can even carry these campers around with your sedan. A micro camper weighs about 1200 lbs and a small travel trailer about 2500 lbs.
The Aesthetic Factor
Many may not agree with me on this unless they have a similar sense of aesthetics as mine. However, I adore these small campers because of their small, homely outlook.
Even on the inside, it looks humble and calming. My wife tells me they resemble tiny RV babies and certainly finds them adorable.
Money-Related Factors
Going vacationing quite frequently can be hard on your finances. On top, you won’t always be throwing a full-fledged family reunion camping trip either.
Thus, if you’re looking for an affordable camper that just has enough space to get the job done during short trips then this is it. Budget-friendly small campers are always a good option if breaking your bank isn’t in your best interests.
Not only will it save you some bucks initially but even, in the long run, your maintenance cost and much more will be reduced.
Comfort and Coziness
Let me bust the myth that small campers usually feel claustrophobic and don’t feel cozy enough to live in. This is not true because I’ve experienced first-hand unique comfort in these bad boys.
It feels a lot homely having to be near your buddies and family instead of spacing out like hermits in individual rooms. Newer models of small campers also come with cozy interchangeable bedding and sitting options alongside an outdoor TV. You can even get just enough space and air inside and not feel cramped.
Easy to Store and Park
Parking campers while in reverse can be the biggest factor in contributing to your anxiety especially in mass campgrounds. Making a mess or falling victim to fines while parking isn’t something you would want to go through during vacation or weekends.
This is where the small compactness of these campers makes them easily towable, easy to park and store.
Storing and setting up my small camper in my garage certainly saved me a fortune from spending it on paying rents on camper off-sites.
Minimalism is sometimes the best option.
FAQ
Q1: What are campers with bathrooms?
A: Ah, the luxurious abodes on wheels! Campers with bathrooms, also known as RVs or motorhomes, are recreational vehicles that come equipped with a private bathroom facility. It’s like having a mini oasis on your road trip, complete with a shower, toilet, and possibly even a sink.
Q2: Why would I need a camper with a bathroom? Can’t I just use nature’s restroom?
A: While communing with nature is wonderful, sometimes you need the convenience of a bathroom without sacrificing your love for the great outdoors. A camper with a bathroom lets you answer nature’s call while still enjoying the comforts of civilization – no more awkward encounters with curious woodland creatures!
Q3: What bathroom facilities can I expect in a camper?
A: Campers with bathrooms can vary in size and amenities, but most include a toilet, shower, and sink. Some might even have a small vanity area for all your primping needs. It’s like having a compact spa on wheels, allowing you to freshen up after a day of hiking or simply enjoy a private bathroom experience on your travels.
Q4: Are the bathrooms in campers spacious?
A: Well, let’s just say that spaciousness is subjective! The bathrooms in campers are designed to maximize functionality while making the most of limited space. So, you might need to embrace your inner contortionist skills or get cozy with your travel companion. But hey, it’s all part of the adventure!
Q5: How do I handle bathroom waste in a camper?
A: Ah, the not-so-glamorous side of camper life! Most campers have built-in tanks to handle both black water (from the toilet) and gray water (from sinks and showers). You’ll need to familiarize yourself with the RV’s waste disposal system and follow proper procedures for emptying and cleaning the tanks. Don’t worry, there are plenty of guides and YouTube videos to help you navigate this less-than-glamorous task.
Q6: Can I use the bathroom while the camper is in motion?
A: Technically, you can, but we recommend avoiding bathroom activities while the wheels are rolling. It’s best to use the facilities when the camper is parked and stable. After all, you don’t want to end up in a real-life amusement park ride within the confines of your bathroom!
Q7: Are there any fun bathroom-themed decorations for campers?
A: Absolutely! Let your creativity flow like a sparkling stream. You can find adorable bathroom-themed decorations like quirky shower curtains, whimsical toilet seat covers, and even cute wall art to add a touch of personal flair to your RV bathroom. Make it a throne fit for a camping king or queen!
