Small Campers

   I have been looking for a small camper we can tow with our Kia Soul with a 2,000 pound towing capacity and have come to the conclusion the smaller the camper the less you get for your money. Have been looking at the Aliner Scout-Lite and they are not too far from the price of a r-pod. The smaller Tab is another camper I have looked at and there is not much as far as construction the smaller campers I guess are more in demand so they cost more. And the smaller campers seem to hold their value more than a larger camper if you were to buy used they will cost more. So far the Aliner Scout-Lite is the one I like best it's a basic lite weight camper I could tow with our Kia Soul but the reviews are not the best for the Aliner campers.

My brother had an A-Liner for quite a few years and liked the fact he could be all set up in about 6 minutes once he unhooked from his car.  Really no issues with it but then again with no toilet, A/C, or other amenities there is little to go wrong.  The negatives - no storage and then the 2nd, no storage.  Everything had to be carried inside his vehicle.  But they are light and as Furpod states,"they have a very small, if any at all, frontal area rating" which is a good thing if you are going to tow with a 4 cylinder Kia.

Agree with the posts so far. You will be hard pressed to find something that the KIA will pull although I have seen compact SUVs pulling Tabs. Another option is a hard shell roof-top tent. See a lot of these in the campgrounds. Never investigated them but I'm sure there is a weight consideration to be researched. We've seen several really nice rooftop setups lately, one used a Jackery solar generator for electrical conveniences.
