If you are interested in a small travel trailer, we recommend considering an A-frame camper. These small campers are a great option if you’re on a budget but don’t want to sacrifice quality.
A-frame campers (also called A-frame travel trailers) are comfortable to travel in and have a wide range of sizes — ranging from models that sleep just two people, to the larger models that can sleep a family of four.
A-frame travel trailers’ smaller size also makes it easier to set up while camping. This small footprint also comes in handy at home when you’re storing the camper.
Whatever your reason is for being interested in an A-frame trailer, take a look at these brands below to get an idea of what might be best for you!
Forest River A-Frame Campers
If you are looking for an A-frame camper, Forest River has a couple of different options to check out. All of their different campers offer the necessities, like a kitchen, sleeping and dining area, and bathroom.
Rockwood Hard Side Series: A122
This is going to be your most basic a-frame camper from Forest River. It includes all of the necessities that I mentioned above, as well as a cabinet, exterior storage, and a gas grill. Camping World of Richmond has generously created a video review of this camper:

Rockwood Hard Side High Wall Series
As the name suggests, the walls of this a-frame camper are going to be a bit taller, which is important to keep in mind when towing. This model is similar to the Hard Side Series, although it offers a bit more space and more exterior storage:
Rockwood A192HW
This is the most basic model of the Hard Side High Wall series. It offers a flip-up bed with storage, kitchen, dinette, cabinet, and external storage in the front of the trailer. Along with the A192HW model, there are 4 additional models with more perks.
