Everything You Need To Know About Pop Top Caravans

June 7, 2018

What began in the seventies as a bit of a fad, the pop top caravan has once again become the flavour of the month. Pop top caravans for sale come up quite regularly, usually around autumn and winter when the thought of camping can send a chill up the spine, but it pays to be careful when buying a pop top caravan. This article explores what a pop top caravan is and outlines some other important things to know.

WHAT IS A POP TOP CARAVAN?

Put simply, a pop top caravan is a caravan with a top that pops. The roof pops up to reveal additional standing room, which is particularly handy. Pop top caravans for sale come in a variety of shapes and sizes, meaning there’s something to suit every sized family. But like all things, pop top caravans are not all created equal, and quite often the cheaper models will feature lower quality canvas and components.

PROS AND CONS

The pros of a pop top caravan include plenty of standing room when standing is required. Of course, the top needs to be popped in order for the standing room to be available. Another pro of pop top caravans is that when the top is un-popped, it becomes a more compact, aerodynamic caravan that’s cheaper and easier to tow and stow. A con of pop top caravans for sale is that some poorly made caravans can leak water, and after a while the inside of your pop top can start to smell as a result.

BUDGETING FOR POP TOP CARAVANS

The available types of pop top caravans for sale in your price range will be dictated by your income. Pop top caravans are usually spread into two groups: those you can afford, and those you actually want. If you’re a family with children, you might only be able to afford a large enough pop top caravan for sale that has been poorly maintained and has certain problems, such as leaks and odours. However, if you have a steady income or a lot of money in savings, you should be able to afford a deluxe camper trailer that’s enjoyable and reliable.

H3: WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING

When looking for a pop top caravan for sale, there are a variety of things to consider. For instance, some of the questions you’ll want to ask yourself include:

  • How many people will be sleeping in the van?
  • How often will it be used?
  • What sized mattress protectors will you need to keep the bedding free of water in the event of the canvas leaking?

Perhaps a more pressing consideration to keep in mind when purchasing a pop top caravan is where you plan to take it. If you plan on traveling and going off road frequently, an off road pop top caravan might suit your needs better than a standard model. But no matter which pop top caravan for sale that you decide on, remember this – you always get what you pay for.

Pop top Caravans are a great way to spend time with friends and family. For more tips on fun things to do with your kids as a family, check out https://www.commoncentsmom.com/ for exciting and affordable activities.
