Small RV campers let you enjoy the creature comforts of an RV without requiring a giant rig or a massive tow vehicle. These trailers are small enough to pull behind your car and large enough for a sleeping area, kitchenette (indoor or outdoor), and often a bathroom. They also tend to get better gas mileage than your average tent, and they can fit right in a standard garage!

We’ve rounded up the best small RV campers that you can buy, from compact pop-ups to tiny teardrops that sleep two. These lightweight rigs are perfect for camping with a couple of friends, or even just for those who want to be able to pack up and go at a moment’s notice.

Tow-and-Go: Exploring the Best Features of Small 5th Wheel Travel Trailers

The best of these RVs are built by the likes of Winnebago, ModVans, and more. The 2021 Winnebago Ekko is a Class C RV that won multiple awards this year for being the most innovative and best new model. It has solar panels for off-grid capabilities, a spacious interior that feels bigger than it actually is, and an exterior that’s designed to keep up with the elements.

The ModVans Unity is another top small RV that’s based on a Mercedes Sprinter van. It’s one of the smallest fifth-wheel RVs around, but it packs in amenities like a residential-style rear lounge, an outdoor entertainment system, and a Dometic IoT smart RV system. This model comes in a few different floor plans, but the most popular is probably the Unity Rear Lounge, which sleeps three people.
