Mini Campers

My wife and I borrowed a Prolite Mini Eco from friends last summer and really liked, it suited us very well. The only downside is that the interior width is 74" and I found that I (72" ht) had to sleep on an angle.

Timing eh. Pre 2020 I took a peek at tiny trailers (who needs gas fireplaces and granite counter tops) and the prices were reasonable. Despite that I thought I may as well wait for retirement before getting a used Boler or whatever. Along came Covid and people went on a tear replacing indoor social stuff with outdoor recreation. Prices followed and bang zoom went my retirement trailer plan.
We had a derelict tent trailer for a few years when the kids were young but I'm not sure I want a tent on wheels. Maybe there's a gently used Boler/Scamp in someone's barn, only towed to church on Sundays and never seen winter. Oh, and I'll take that vintage '48 panel suburban.
Nowadays we glamp with a large tent and dining shelter snugged up together. Air mattress and down bags, bbq and stove, comfy camp chairs, quiet music and books. Sometimes making do works. YMMV

I’ve been looking hard at Blue Mountain Campers lately. Small, no bells and whistles, but built to last and prices that don’t make me gag (or at least not as much). Only three models to look at.

When I see the prices of some of these trailers I wonder why not just buy a van?
