I have been watching videos about people that go camping and overlanding. I have decided that I want to build a trailer camper that the family and I can go camping in. From what I have seen, there are many companies that have some good features. However, those also come with a sufficient price tag. I'm making this list so that whenever I do get around to building the camper I desire, that I do not have to go back and do the research. Instead, I can review this post and remember what I have decided on or would like to have.
