These trout fishermen have a stream at the doorstep of their Coleman tent trailer. Light and mobile trailer like this one can be taken into remote regions, especially with a 4WD vehicle.
There are many, many reasons why camper trailers are so popular today, and the low price is only the first of them. A recent survey of rec-vehicle owners at a sports and vacation show revealed that "towability" was the reason most sportsmen selected tent campers. The light weight and compact, low silhouette mean that the tent trailer "follows" so well that its presence is hardly noticeable to the driver. There's no swaying in a high wind and the driver can see behind him (over the top of the trailer) through a center-mounted rear-view mirror. Tent trailers can be towed safely at higher speeds and with less effect on gasoline mileage. This type of trailer is also the easiest to park or to back into a tight place.
