Choosing the right motorcycle camper...

So, you finally decided to get that motorcycle camper you've always wanted. Maybe you're tired of cramming that tent and all the camping gear on your bike leaving little room for anything else. You're probably tired of crawling around on your hands an knees getting in and out of a tent or you'd rather be relaxing instead of spending your leisure time setting up camp. Whatever your reasons for choosing a motorcycle camper you will soon find yourself asking, "why did I ever wait this long?" Choosing a motorcycle camper can be rewarding but also a confusing and daunting task to say the least, after all, it is an investment that you will likely enjoy for many years to come. While searching for your motorcycle camper there are five key factors I've listed below I think you should consider.

Weight is probably the most important factor, especially if you plan to tow your camper with a motorcycle. Inevitably there will be optional equipment and accessories you will be carrying with you which will add to the total weight of the camper, this should be taken into consideration. In addition to obvious safety concerns, weight can negatively affect the performance and fuel mileage of your motorcycle. Check the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of your motorcycle and factor in the laden weight along with the weight of the camper and all the accessories you plan to pile in there. Remember, lighter is better.

Set up is another important thing to consider. Will you be traveling two up all the time or will you be traveling solo? Some motorcycle campers require two people to set up and can be time consuming and confusing, while others can be quick and simple even for a solo rider. How fast or simple the set up can be very important when you arrive at your destination in the rain. Some motorcycle campers have to be unfolded, then after tent poles are set up, the tent is unrolled and wrapped over the poles. Try setting one of these up in wind or rain. Most motorcycle campers have set up videos on the internet for you to review at your leisure and I think you should study these while considering the points mentioned here. Youtube is a good place to start and you will find a set up video for most all motorcycle camper trailers there, just type in motorcycle tent trailer. To see our Lees-ure Lite videos click on Videos above or click here.

Construction, or how well a motorcycle camper is put together, can also be important. One thing to avoid here is a tent canopy that is simply draped over poles and snapped around a base floor fastened with snaps. Snaps eventually fail and also leave large gaps for insects and other small pests to find their way into your sleeping area. A snapped canopy is also vulnerable to high wind or that unexpected summer thunderstorm. Raised sleeping platforms that extend out away from a trailer base often supported by an exterior pole have been known to collapse or be kicked in by campground pranksters. Being dumped on the ground unexpectedly in the middle of the night could ruin and otherwise nice camping trip. A well designed motorcycle camper will feature a bed directly above the trailer base, a tent canopy that is sealed around the perimeter, and will have a raised platform designed to keep you off the ground. This can be very important when that unexpected downpour occurs!

Quality of construction or materials used should be looked at when selecting a motorcycle camper. A fiberglass body, for example, is lightweight yet strong and easy to maintain, where as an aluminum and plywood construction can be quite heavy and will likely rot and submit to corrosion over time. Look for a motorcycle camper that has a premium tent fabric that is light, durable, breathable, and one that resists mold and mildew. Avoid a canvas based material as they are heavy, wick moisture, and will harbor mold and mildew. Some motorcycle camper manufacturers will use cheaper materials to lower costs. However, cheap materials are often heavier and a good indication of this will be the weight of the camper.

And last, but not least, color and price should be considered. Color can not only represent an individuals specific taste but can also relate to the climate in which they expect to be camping in most often. Motorcycle campers in the northern parts of the country, for instance, would probably be better satisfied with a dark colored tent fabric which will draw more heat from the sun. Southern campers however, will want a light colored tent fabric that will be cooler in the hot summer months down south. Although not the most important factor to consider but ultimately something that may affect your decision is price. When looking at the price of a motorcycle camper focus on all the factors above. Obviously a motorcycle camper that is comprised of the best materials and constructed to higher quality standards will be priced slightly above that of a cheaper low quality motorcycle camper. These motorcycle campers are lighter, better built, and tend to hold their value longer, all of  which result in higher resale values. Try finding a used Lees-ure Lite for sale, chances are it's already sold and at a price close to that of a new one.

Whatever your decision, I hope the points mentioned here will be of some help to you. I realize these factors may raise some concerns over a competitors light tent trailer, and could result in some questions you may have about the Lees-ure Lite. I hope you will contact me with those questions or concerns as I would be glad to help you. All things considered, I think you will find the Lees-ure Lite at the top of your list and the most logical choice. After all, the Lees-ure Lite is simply the lightest, quickest and simplest to set up, best engineered, competitively priced, motorcycle camper on the market today.
