Camper trailers are often the first foray into RVing because they are one of the most affordable options providing a towable sleeper for multi-day outings. These lightweight trailers can often be pulled by a crossover or small SUV.
Generally, new camper trailers costing under $10,000 will sleep one or two adults and fall into the teardrop or A-frame basic models with minimum essentials.
The following camper trailers are budget-friendly with starting prices under $10,000.
Oregan Trailer Do-Drop
The Do-Drop is a small, simple, very compact camper trailer offering a 47″ x 78″ bed. The basic trailer comes with a LED dome light and storage shelf along with a screened window with tinted glass. Options such as a front-mounted cargo box or roof rack can be added Ala-Carte.

While the other camper trailers on this list can be found at various dealers, the Do-Drop is custom made to your request when you order.
ALine Scout Lite Standard Model
The ALine Scout Lite Standard A-frame camper offers a 30″ x 76″ front bed and a 40″ x 76″ rear bed conversion once the dinette is folded down.
