Tent trailers come in many varieties and sizes. The vehicle you can use to haul the tent trailer depends mostly on the weight class of the trailer itself and the towing capacity of the vehicle. Tent trailer manufacturers recognize that there are many people who have smaller vehicles, and even motorcycles, who still want the convenience and comfort of a tent trailer.

Some manufacturers focus only on the towing capacity of motorcycles, and create tent trailers designed specifically with motorcyclists in mind. Motorcycle tent trailers are sized and designed with the appropriate weight and dimensions so they can easily be pulled with a motorcycle.

When people buy recreational vehicles or trailers, they'll often decide to buy used in order to save some money. What makes lightweight tent trailers unique is, the price is so affordable that buying a new one is something that most families can handle.

Additionally, the nature of a tent trailer is that the roof is typically made of a canvas or other material that is more prone to wear and tear. It's just like a typical tent, only a little more sturdy. So it's rare to find one in good enough used condition. For only a little more money you can buy one new and in perfect condition.

The following are typical features that you'll find with most motorcycle camping trailers.

• Storage compartments for luggage and gear
• Usually aluminum construction, but sometimes plywood for cheaper models
• Set up in very little time, sometimes in less than five minutes
• Size varies from seven to eight feet or less
• Usually weigh from a few hundred to just under a thousand pounds
• Roof fabric is often waterproof tent material or canvas
• Fair sized beds with foam padding
• Screen doors and screen windows
• Some offer air conditioning ports
• Many offer awnings
• Often come with foldable furniture, like tables

Larger "lightweight" tent trailers come with additional features like more storage, counter space, and even hookups for electrical and water. These trailers are often heavier and can require a larger motorcycle or small car for towing.

There are lots of places where you can find high quality tent trailers that you can pull with a motorcycle. A few examples are below:

• Trailmaster offers very small trailers that you can pull with a small car or motorcycle. They pop up into fair sized tent trailers, with some designs that extend to one side and utilize ground space next to it.
• Lite Tent Camper are very small and light, but offer the convenience of a basic tent with the option to add on a screen room, awning, and other useful features.
• Lees-ure Lite trailers offer one of the highest quality trailers that are also one of the easiest to set up. A unique folding design almost doubles the length of the trailer, adds floor space, and leaves enough room for a larger, comfortable bed.
• Open Road Outfitters offer the "TimeOut" camper which is made of lightweight, breathable tent material and a very simple design. These are best for campers looking for a very basic tent experience in a simple towing package. Some unique features include carpeting and a screen room.
• Livin Lite "Quicksilver" trailers are one of the highest quality lightweight camping trailers on the market with the most efficient use of space, including padded seats and a folding table, spacious bed pads, and clever storage.
• Bunkhouse trailers are one of the smallest camping trailers on the market with options that include a table, cooler, screen room or clothes storage compartment.

While the recreational vehicle industry often seems to focus on the customer base that wants large "homes" in a trailer, with electrical conveniences and elaborate comforts, the light weight tent trailer represents another solution. For the simpler camper or small camping family that likes the experience of "true" tent camping, but would like to have the comfort of sleeping above the ground, and the convenience of much faster setup, a lighter weight camper is perfect. With these lightweight motorcycle campers, one or two people can hit the road, find a campsite, and be relaxing in beautiful, natural surroundings with very little effort.
