Ready to hit the road and have some fun? A small recreational vehicle might be the perfect choice for you. The phrase "small recreational vehicle" describes a vehicle created with one purpose in mind: to have fun. One might consider go-carts, off-road motorcycles, ATVs and jet skis to fit the bill. While these examples are certainly fun, they are not really small .

and pop-up are true examples of small recreational vehicles. They offer the comforts of home while you are the freedom of the open road. You probably wouldn’t be terribly comfortable sleeping on a motorcycle, or cooking breakfast in a go-cart.

With each new camper introduced, designs have improved and space has expended. As a result, traditional small group or are moving away from the "small" category. Although today’s small models are still the best choice for family trips, new design enhancements allow greater comfort and flexibility, without forcing the user into maneuvering a akin to an bus or rock star tour bus.

The lasting appeal of small recreational vehicles lies in their portability and readiness, rather than the amount of cargo they can carry. With just a few hours preparation, a small recreational vehicle is transported into a home away from home, while you’re away from home. Small recreational vehicles are perfect for the "get up and go" types of travelers that don’t like a lot of planning and preparation. They offer nearly as much freedom and flexibility as a tent, with firm walls and a ceiling to give added security and protection from the elements. After exploring new surroundings, a small recreational vehicle offers a cozy place to return and rest up before the next big adventure.

One could argue that pop-up campers and trailer campers aren’t true small recreational vehicles, because they don’t provide the recreation. They do however make it possible to find your recreation in more places and in more ways than you might imagine. You can travel the country in your small recreational vehicle and see more of the world–instead of watching the world pass you by.

My wife’s idea of roughing it is staying at Motel 6 instead of the Hyatt during our vacations. But now with the Campa All Terrain Trailer, perhaps I can convince her to stay a little closer to nature with a “four-star” luxury tent.

The Campa All Terrain Trailer (ATT) is a highly mobile, self-contained living unit which provides campers and avid outdoorsmen the opportunity to navigate hard-to-reach areas that are typically inaccessible by standard trailers. The units, manufactured by Campa USA (www.campausa.com), are deemed a new generation of trailer systems which offer a wide variety of options.

“Accessing remote areas has always been an issue for campers with towing units,” states Chris Cole, president of Campa USA. “But we provide a solution that allows our customers to literally go where others can’t.”

The trailers can be customized with many eye-popping features such as a three room, six person sleeping tent, hot water shower system, custom kitchen unit, 12 volt electrical system, two 22 gallon water tanks, solar power and a matching tow vehicle lug pattern.

Cole added, “Our systems are fully modular and can be customized to fit any particular situation. Everyone does not camp in the same area. Weather, terrain and topography vary from place to place so we can custom-build a unit to address any specific need.”

The all terrain systems fill a niche within the camping industry and are also being used for other applications. Disaster Reconnaissance Systems (DRS), which are similar to the ATT’s, have generated interest on the state and federal levels for disaster and emergency response.

“Our units are extremely versatile and the ways they can be used are really limitless. Many people from a wide range of industries have expressed interest,” noted Cole.

The company’s core following, however, still comes from the camping sector. But if recent feedback from customers is any indication of how the product will be received by other industries, brisk sales will undoubtedly follow suit. [PRWEB]
