I’ve outlined my specific requirements for a camper trailer suited to solo travel:
- A lightweight trailer that won’t strain the towing vehicle or budget
- Quick setup and breakdown
- Dedicated workspace
- Covered outdoor area via awning
- Standing room for changing clothes
- Toilet and shower facilities
- Bike rack capacity for at least four bicycles
- Reasonable cost
A Potential Solution
I initially planned to build my own trailer while driving extensive distances during Easter. However, I discovered the Opus Lite model, which could meet my needs effectively.
The Trade-off
The Opus Lite features rapid setup and takedown, including the awning mechanism. While I’d prefer hard walls for weather protection, I recognise this as a compromise. The cost saving outlays the compromise — the financial benefits outweigh the structural limitations of a soft-sided design.
