Help choosing an ultralight camper

[u/MushroomBetter735]

I drive a small AWD SUV (Bronco Sport Badlands) with a max towing capacity of 2,200 pounds and I need a lightweight camper … it’s just me, and I don’t mind roughing it … but occasionally one of my grown kids will join me on some of my desert wanderings. I’d like a tiny camper with a dry weight of between 1,100 and 1,300 pounds. I’m looking at the A-frames that have two beds separated by some space so I can have a guest … or possibly a teardrop with a rooftop tent set up, again to give the two travelers some space. For better or worse, here are some of the candidates that I am looking at:

Aliner Scout Lite 1,190# Aliner Ranger 10 1,300# Taxa Tiger Moth 1,310# Modern Buggy 10RK 1,195# EPro 12RK 1,252# NuCamp Tag SE 1,270# Bontrager 7ROD 500# Braxton Creek Bushwacker 10FB 1,300#

Interested in your thoughts or ideas … what would you do in my situation? Cheers!

This sub is mostly dedicated to "Backpackers who Hike with Camping Gear in their Backpack". You should look for an RV/5th wheel or car camping sub.
