Tent Trailers & Pop-Up Campers in Kitchener-Waterloo

Why Choose a Tent Trailer?

1. Minivan & Crossover Towable

This is the biggest advantage. Most of our tent trailers weigh between 1,500 and 2,500 lbs. This means you can tow them with a Dodge Grand Caravan, Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey, or mid-size SUVs like the Ford Edge without needing a heavy-duty truck upgrade.

2. Garage Storage

Save thousands on storage fees. When folded down, a pop-up camper is low profile and compact, fitting easily into a standard residential garage. It also keeps your investment safe from the harsh Ontario winter.

3. The "Nature" Connection

Hard-sided trailers can sometimes feel like sitting in a hotel room. In a tent trailer, you can unzip the windows to catch the cross-breeze, hear the crickets, and smell the campfire—all while safe and dry inside.

Our Premium Pop-Up Brands

Forest River Rockwood Freedom Series

The Gold Standard of Pop-Ups. Rockwood (and its twin, Flagstaff) builds the most feature-rich tent trailers on the market.

• Power Roof Lift: No more hand-cranking! Raise the roof with the push of a button.

• Heated Mattresses: Standard on most bunks, these keep you toasty on those chilly May and October nights.

• ProRac Systems: Factory-installed roof racks let you carry bikes or kayaks right on top of the camper.

Viking LS Series

The Lightweight Value Leader. Viking trailers are designed for simplicity and durability. They are often lighter than competitors, making them the ideal choice for smaller tow vehicles.

• Easy Setup: The patented "Glide-N-Lock" bed system makes setting up the bunks a one-person job.

• Wide Trac Suspension: Provides a safer, smoother tow by widening the distance between the tires.

Rockwood Hard Side (A-Frame)

The "No-Canvas" Pop-Up. Love the low towing profile but hate canvas? The Hard Side series pops up into a solid-wall A-frame cabin in under 60 seconds. It’s warmer, quieter, and requires zero canvas maintenance.

Setup Myth-Busting: Is it Hard?

New buyers often worry that setting up a tent trailer is a chore. Reality Check: Modern pop-ups are engineered for speed.

1. Park & Level: 5 minutes.

2. Power Lift: Press the button to raise the roof (1 minute).

3. Slide Beds: Pull out the bunk ends (2 minutes).

4. Door & Canvas: Drop the door in place and tension the canvas (5 minutes). You can be relaxed with a drink in hand in under 15 minutes.

Tent Trailer FAQs

Q: Do they have bathrooms? A: Many do! Larger models (like the Rockwood 2280) feature a cassette toilet or a wet bath (shower/toilet combo) inside. Smaller units often skip this to save weight, but we sell portable toilets that fit perfectly in the storage cabinets.

Q: Are they cold in the fall? A: Not anymore. With standard 20,000 BTU furnaces and the heated mattresses found in Rockwood models, our customers comfortably camp from Victoria Day to Thanksgiving.

Q: Can I store food inside? A: Yes. All our models come with 3-way fridges (runs on 12V battery, 110V plug, or Propane). However, in bear country (like Algonquin), we always recommend following park rules regarding food storage.
