Tent Trailer Prices: How to Find the Best Model for Your Budget

We’ll show you a way to put together tent size, trailer type, and accessories completely individually – so you only pay for what you really need for your next outdoor adventure.

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?

Of course, the price plays an important role and many camping enthusiasts have already made real bargains with used tent trailers.

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.

At CAMPWERK you get tested used vehicles – with warranty and checked by the manufacturer. So you are on the safe side and find a fair offer in the used segment. Discover tent trailers from CAMPWERK here.
