10 Luxuries You'll Be Amazed to Find in Pop-Up Campers and Travel Trailers

Manufacturers of pop-up campers and travel trailer are competing with the motorhome market for customers who want luxurious features while out in the wild. Considering the more affordable price of a travel trailer, which averages $16,000 compared to a motorhome with an $80,000 price tag, it is no surprise that travel trailers and campers are a viable option for many. Now that so many luxury items are available in the travel trailer and camper market, more consumers are starting to seriously consider these products.

Below are 10 luxury items that outdoor enthusiasts can now afford, without buying an expensive motorhome to get them.

1. Washer and Dryer

Nothing makes a person miss home more than a suitcase full of dirty clothes that need to be washed, but there’s good news for travelers. Now, some pop-up campers and travel trailers come equipped with a washer and dryer. Fleet pop-up campers are among the many options for travelers who never want to step foot into a laundromat again.

2. Entertainment Systems

As much as vacationers say they want to get away from it all, it is not completely true. Travelers still want the option of watching a movie or listening to their favorite tunes. Fortunately, it is possible to have it all, even when you're on the road. Campers and trailers can be purchased with LCD HDTV and stereos that are iPOD-compatible. It makes sense to also check for multiple speakers if the travel trailer is long and would benefit from speakers in different areas.

3. Full Bathrooms

While toilets and showers are not considered a luxury item in most circles, any vacationer who has had to use public facilities or a portable toilet knows the value of a nice bathroom. Campers and trailers have taken notes and responded to buyers. In today's market, you can purchase pop-up campers with toilets and showers. Many trailers also have a bathtub.

4. Fireplace

On a cold night, a fireplace not only adds ambiance, but it can also help you stay warm.
While they aren't easy to find in most campers and trailers, some models do offer them.

5. Dishwasher

Now that full kitchens are all the rage, dishwashers are often part of that package. There is no reason to rough it unless you want to for some reason.

6. King and Queen Sized Beds

It is certainly hard to leave the luxury of your large bed at home when on the road. Now, you don't have to. Innovative engineering changes have forever changed cramped campers and trailers.

7. Large Oven Range

Cooking in the outdoors is one of the pleasures associated with camping. In bad weather, however, it is certainly nice to have the option of cooking indoors. Having a large oven where it is possible to cook a decent meal is a blessing on rainy or cold days.

8. Double Bowl Sink

A larger sink is a must-have for any family interested in doing a lot of cooking on the road.

9. Wardrobe Lighting

While there is not as much need for formal dressing out on the road, it is still nice to wear matching socks. A wardrobe light comes in handy even when camping. Fleetwood pop-up campers offer this feature.

10. Central Vacuum System

This is certainly a luxury, since many homes do not have this handy built-in tool. Cleaning up was never easier.
