Campers and trailers

There are two main types of campers - pop-up campers and trailers.

Trailers can be easily found at rental car companies. It might be uncomfortable for families because it can cause motion sickness if they are inside.

Pop-up campers are usually in either folding or hard-top versions. The folding version takes up less space, so it can be kept at home. It also doesn’t give much wind resistance when driven.

Meanwhile, box-type hardtop campers don’t require the roof to be folded down, so it is easy to use. But campers must have a license to drive campers over 750 kilograms.

There are five to six domestic camper and trailer manufacturers and also five to six companies that import foreign campers and trailers. They usually cost around 15 million won to 40 million won.
