- Cost: $13,500
- Dry Weight: 760 Pounds
- Length: 11 Feet 6 Inches

As the MyPod has a dry weight of only 760 pounds and an overall length of just 11 feet 6 inches, making it one of the easiest campers to tow.
In fact, the Little Guy Trailers MyPod is so small and lightweight that it’s one of the few campers that can actually be towed by a car.

As the Little Guy Trailers MyPod is actually very well-equipped for its size with loads of comfort features, including air conditioning, a three-speed fantastic fan, an entertainment system, both 12V and 110 power, and two generous size windows on either side of the camper with built-in window shades.

Quick Specs

- Dry Weight: 1,252 Pounds
- Length: 11 Feet 3 Inches
- Sleeping Capacity: 2
Known by many as the “Swiss Army Knife” of teardrop campers, the Forest River Geo Pro G12RK is one of the most loaded and feature-rich teardrop campers you can buy.
As it has pretty much every feature and amenity you could want and then some, despite its more compact size and lightweight design.

5. 13′ Scamp Trailer (w/o Bathroom)
Quick Specs
- Cost: $15,000
- Dry Weight: 1,200 Pounds
- Length: 13 Feet
- Sleeping Capacity: 4
The first stand-up camper on this list is the iconic 13-foot Scamp trailer, which is instantly recognizable thanks to its rounded molded two-piece fiberglass shell.
Which not only helps to keep the weight of the camper down, as the fiberglass shell requires no internal framework but also greatly reduces the likelihood of leaks, as the top of the camper is one solid piece of fiberglass with no seams or corners, which is often the first place to leak on a travel trailer.
In addition, the 13-foot Scamp trailer is also one of the smallest and lightest campers available that’s capable of sleeping up to four campers at a time, thanks to the rear convertible dinette booth and front bunk beds.
13′ Scamp Trailer Floorplan (w/o Bathroom)
However, you probably noticed that we’re highlighting the 13′ Scamp trailer without a bathroom, and that’s because the 13′ Scamp trailer is actually available in several different layouts and floorplans.
One of which offers a three-piece wet bath at the front of the camper instead of bunk beds.
The issue with the 13-foot Scamp floorplan with the bathroom though, when your towing the Scamp with a Honda CR-V is that the dry weight of this version of the camper will put you very close if not over the 1,500 max tow capacity of the CR-V, especially once the camper is loaded down with several hundred pounds of supplies and gear.
So if you’re planning on towing the 13-foot Scamp trailer with a Honda CR-V, it’s best to stick with the more basic floorplan without a bathroom to stay under the max tow capacity of the CR-V.

6. Aliner Scout Lite
Quick Specs
- Cost: $15,000
- Dry Weight: 1,180 Pounds
- Length: 13 Feet
- Sleeping Capacity: 3
When most people think of pop-up campers they typically envision the standard canvas tent-style pop-up with opposing fold-out bunks on either end.
However, there is a whole other type of pop-up camper out there called the hard-sided or A-frame camper that offers foldable fiberglass walls, giving you the best of both worlds.
As hard-sided pop-up campers provide better sound deadening and insulation similar to a travel trailer, while still being super easy to tow, thanks to their low-profile pop-up design.
And one of the lightest and smallest versions of this type of camper is the Aliner Scout Lite, which has a dry weight of just 1,180 pounds and an overall length of only 13 feet.
Making it the perfect fit for the Honda CR-V.
Despite its super lightweight design and compact size though, the Scout Lite still offers several comfort and convenience features to make your next camping trip more comfortable.
Including a small kitchen sink, LED lighting, a fantastic fan, interior, and exterior electrical outlets, and a solar port to charge the house battery while off-grid.

7. nuCamp TAG

- Cost: $17,000
- Dry Weight: 1,269 Pounds
- Length: 13 Feet 7 Inches
- Sleeping Capacity: 2
One of the coolest looking and most off-road capable teardrop campers on the road today is the nuCamp TAG camper, especially when it’s outfitted with the optional boondocking package like the TAG featured in the above video.
Which adds 15-inch rims with aggressive off-road tires, a heavy-duty pitched axle, oversized and heavy-duty fenders, an aluminum platform, and a heavy-duty entry step.
But even if you’re someone that doesn’t like to take their camper into the backcountry, there is still plenty to love about the nuCamp TAG.
As it offers a whole range of features and amenities that any camper is sure to enjoy.
Including a well equipped outdoor kitchen with sink, stove, microwave, and removable cooler, and a super comfortable interior sleeping space that offers not only a powered roof fan and LED lighting but also a wall-mounted air conditioner and an electric heater, as well as a large star gazing window, and entertainment system.
Giving you the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day of outdoor adventures and camping.

9. Little Guy Trailers Meerkat
Quick Specs
- Cost: $22,970
- Dry Weight: 900 Pounds
- Length: 13 Feet
- Sleeping Capacity: 2
One of the most unique campers on this list is the Little Guy Trailers Meerkat, which is made by the same company as the MyPod teardrop from above.
As the Meerkat offers a hybrid design that’s a cross between a standard hard-sided travel trailer and a pop-up camper.
As the majority of the camper is a fiberglass shell, with the exception of the circular pop-top tent at the front of the camper.
Giving the benefits of a hard-sided camper in regards to insulation, sound deadening and standing room, while still offering some of the benefits of a pop-up camper.
Namely its lower overall height, which allows the camper to be stored more easily.
Little Guy Trailers Meerkat Floorplan
In fact, the Meerkat has such a low profile, which is only 6 feet 5 inches when the pop-top is lowered that you can actually store this camper inside of a regular garage.
As the standard height of a garage door is typically 7 feet tall.
It’s not just the unique hybrid design that makes the Meerkat so great though, as this camper is also very well equipped for its size.
As it offers many features that you don’t often find on campers only 13 feet in length.
Offering such amenities as an interior kitchenette with sink, stove, and fridge, a good size closet, a porta-potty, a large convertible u-shaped dinette booth, and a 12V/110 power system, allowing you to camp both on-grid as well as off-grid with the Meerkat.

Quick Specs
- Cost: $29,950
- Dry Weight: 1,100 Pounds
- Length: 13 Feet
- Sleeping Capacity: 2
One of the most versatile lightweight campers on this list is the Happier Camper HC1, as it features a one-of-a-kind flexible modular interior called the Adaptiv™ system.
Allowing this small compact camper to be configured in a number of different ways to fit your particular needs and camping style.
As the Adaptiv™ system offers a unique honeycomb floor and heavy-duty interchangeable molded fiberglass pieces called Adaptiv™ components that can be used to build out the interior of the camper to your liking, with everything from benches to beds, to couches and even a toilet.
Happier Camper HC1 Floorplan
But one of the best things about the Happier Camper HC1 is its large rear hatch and the fact that you can completely remove all the Adaptiv™ components out of the camper, leaving you with a nice size enclosed trailer.
Giving you the ability to use the HC1 as a general utility trailer while not camping and also allowing you to transport larger items to the campsite while camping such as bikes, kayaks, and even a motorcycle.
