Camping Guide
Tent Trailer Prices: Short and sweet
- Prices depend on size and features
- You don’t have to decide on a fixed model – put it together yourself instead!
- Only pay for what you need: This applies to sleeping spaces, materials and additional extras such as awning, insect screen, sun canopy or kitchen
That’s why tent trailers are the perfect way to travel
Tent trailers are the happy medium between a classic tent and a motorhome. They offer you a cozy home on wheels, plenty of comfort and at the same time a real outdoor feeling. You could say that a tent trailer is a real all-rounder:
Space: When packed, they take up hardly any space!
Time: They can be unfolded within three minutes…
Comfort: …and turn into a large tent with a sleeping area for up to 5 people!
Flexibility: You can also simply remove the tent platform and use your trailer at home for removals or other transport!
Price: Compared to a motorhome or van, you’ll be much cheaper with a tent trailer, but have more space and convenience than in a classic tent.
However, when it comes to tent trailer prices, there are big differences. What does it depend on? Where can you save money, what is luxury and which equipment is really worth it for you? That’s exactly what we’ll show you in this article. Because nowadays your tent trailer should adapt to you, not the other way around.
What influences tent trailer prices?
The cost of a tent trailer varies depending on the features, size and intended use.
Before you buy a tent trailer, it’s worth considering the basic structure first:
- Size and capacity: Sleeping spaces for up to 5 people are possible. If you need less space, for example because you are only traveling as a couple, it is best to choose a smaller and therefore cheaper option.
- Chassis & Use: On-road or off-road? Braked or unbraked? These differences have a direct impact on the price.
- Material and setup: Robust frames, high-quality tent fabrics and insulated floors are a little more expensive, but very durable. The investment can be worth it in this case!
- New vs. used: New models can be freely configured and are technically up to date, with used models you can save money and with a little luck find a trailer that is also well suited for your trip!

Buying used tent trailers: Is that a good option?
Of course, used tent trailers are tempting with a lower price. But before you strike, you should definitely check the following points:
Checklist for used tent trailers
- General condition: Look for damage, rust or wear
- Floor and tent material: Cracks or leaks can quickly cause problems on your travels
- Chassis and tires: Wear is crucial here, just like with a car
- Features: Sure, some accessories are more of a luxury. But too many compromises will be noticeable in your camping experience. And afterwards you buy expensive additions.
- Age: Check the initial registration and the kilometers traveled.
Challenges when buying used
- Uncertainty about condition: Assessing the condition of a used trailer exactly is very difficult as a layman
- Hidden defects: Some damage is only visible upon closer inspection
- Warranty: Used models often have no or only limited warranty.
Caution when buying used privately:
Especially online, there are many dubious providers on the road. In the pictures, the tent trailer seems to be in order and as a customer you believe you can make a special bargain.
Unfortunately, the reality often looks different: Fake invoices, suddenly advance payment is necessary and your supposed bargain trailer never arrives. Don’t get ripped off!
At CAMPWERK you can have your invoice checked for free! Simply send the invoice and serial number to service@campwerk.de.

What to do: New or used?

Nevertheless, the advantages of a new trailer speak for themselves:
- Latest equipment: You choose what you need
- Longer service life: Less wear, longer durability.
- Warranty: Often comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty and therefore security for you
If you are interested in a used model, be sure to contact a professional for support.
