A-Frame Camper Trailers – Pop Up Campers, Hard Side

A Frame Campers

When folded for transit, an A-Frame Camper trailer might be mistaken for a pop up tent trailer, as they look almost identical. However, when popped-up, the difference is visibly obvious, with hard side walls and a steeped roof, making for a completely enclosed living area. Compare that to the traditional, canvas sided pop-up tent trailer, popular over the last handful of decades.

The result is a hard-sided, pop-up camper with improved protection from the elements.

Manufactured in Australia, AIR’s construction is based on modern aerospace and composite technology. As a result, the camper is strong and resists corrosion worthy of the elements in the Outback.

Jayco’s Jay Series is a handsome-looking little hardwall camper trailer that comes with a very useful storage deck, so you can bring everything you need on your next outdoor adventure. Setting up the A-Frame camper is a simple 3-step process. Besides a ton of standard features and options that come with the Jay Series, it also has the option of an expandable screen room for more sheltered living space.

NOTE: It appears 2016 was the last year Jayco produced the J-Series A-Frame trailer, so your best option for one of these is to scour the used trailer market.
