- [Reacher] From micro to mini campers and maybe just a bit bigger. Sometimes, it's the lack of size that matters. This is Reacher and here are 10 mini campers and camper vans for those summer getaways. (bouncy, bass thumping beat) - [Cassie] Number 10. (exciting paino music) - [Reacher] The days of needing a big vehicle to pull your camper are long gone due to the number of companies marketing small campers. This first entry on our list is no exception to that rule with its 18 foot length and dry weight of 1,850 pounds. The compact size allows it to be stored away in most standard home garages, while the fold down design makes for easy towing. Once onsite, the living space is doubled by the electrically controlled popup A-frame. Dormers at the front and rear add even more overhead space, as well as natural light from the added windows and skylights. The increased height of the sidewalls provides more usable space for interior which allows the cabinets and countertops to be higher for a more comfortable experience. An 85 liter mini fridge, a microwave and a flush-mounted sink and dual burner cooktop complete the kitchen area. An outside shower comes standard with the option of an enclosed wet bath. Bench seating in the rear converts to a queen size bed, while the dinette area can convert to a twin bed, if needed. Pricing for this one will run you around $21,500. - [Cassie] Number nine. - [Reacher] If you like the idea of back to basics camping, but don't want to sleep in a tent, then this entry may be just the one you're looking for. A door on each side provides access to the interior, which has just enough room for a queen size bed with plenty of overhead storage at each end. An AM/FM Bluetooth stereo system with indoor and outdoor speakers comes standard with optional hookups for satellite, cable and solar power. A low profile roof mounted AC unit, a manual awning and mounts for outdoor gear can be added as well. A large hatch in the rear raises to provide access to a full outdoor kitchen which contains a microwave oven, a mini fridge, a sink, and a single burner cooktop/grill combo which can be mounted on the side when needed. Pricing on this one starts at around $9,000. - [Cassie] Number eight. - [Reacher] This handy little camper from Japanese company AZ-MAX may look tiny but it's got just about everything you'd need for a camping trip and more than enough room to put it in. Built around a Mazda Scrum, it has a 660 cc engine with either an automatic or manual transmission, with a choice of two or four wheel drive. It measures just over 12 feet in length and just over five and a half feet in width, with a living area around 34 and a half square feet. A fold down platform over the cab and bench style seating which converts to a bed provide room to sleep up to four people. Large sliding windows on the sides and rear allow plenty of natural light in addition to the LED lighting found throughout the camper. Power is generated using a 100 watt solar array on top of the vehicle. Additional features include a cassette stove, a small sink, and a removable table in the dinette area. Pricing on this one will run you anywhere from $24,000 to $25,100. - [Cassie] Number seven. - [Reacher] This do it yourself kit is the perfect camper for those who crave the outdoors but don't have the space to store a camper year round. The ability to disassemble it in about an hour using a screwdriver allows the lightweight pieces to be stored away when not in use. The modular design allows the structure to be assembled on most smaller utility trailers, as well as onsite for use as a semipermanent shelter. Although it only measures about sex feet by eight and a half feet, there's still plenty of interior space for the necessities such as a dinette table with bench seating that converts to a double bed and a hand pump sink with a water tank. There's also a wall mounted AC unit and hanging storage compartments as well. Entrance to the camper can be though either the double doors at the back or a side door assembly. Multiple windows and ceiling vents provide natural lighting and ventilation, if needed. Pricing for this one is expected to be in the 3 to $4,000 range, with a release date sometime in 2018. - [Cassie] Number six. - [Reacher] Having an overall length of just over 17 feet and a width of just under seven feet, this mini makes you wonder why they included that word in the name at all. The interior offers just as much as campers twice the size without sacrificing comfort or quality. A single side door opens up to a kitchenette in the front which contains a flush mounted dual burner cooktop, a sink with a detachable sprayer, a microwave, and a 142 liter double door refrigerator. There's also a fully enclosed wet bath measuring just over seven and a half square feet which includes a pedal flush toilet and a waterproof toilet paper holder. And I'm betting you won't find that last one in any luxury RVs. The dinette area has U-shape bench seating and a rotating table with a hydraulic pedestal. This area can be converted to either dual twin beds or a queen size bed. Five insulated dual pane windows, as well as a vertical stargazer window, open to an almost 90 degree angle to provide natural light and airflow, if needed. Pricing for this mini starts around $24,000.

Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment section for a later discussion, because right now I've gotta tell you about this next entry on our list. This model is the smallest in this line of camper vans at just under 20 feet in length, with a width around seven and a half feet. A side door on the driver's side allows entry to the camper, which also opens to the cab area. Flexible seating arrangements in the lounge area allow for split bench or full bench seating on each side of the open walkway. The kitchenette includes a 138 liter slimline refrigerator, an oven with a three burner cooktop, a microwave, and a flush mount sink with a cutting board cover. In the rear is the washroom, which contains a corner sink and vanity, an electric flush cassette toilet, and a separate enclosed shower area. There's room to sleep up to four people using the bench seating and the height adjustable drop down double bed above the lounge area. Pricing on this one starts at around $63,000. - [Cassie] Number four. - [Reacher] When I think about camping, I think of things like travel, adventure, and a cooler full of tasty beverages. "He's talking about beer again." And this next camper might be just what I need for all those things. It has a dry weight of only 900 pounds, making it light enough to be towed by most smaller vehicles. On top of that, the use of optional solar panels and a built in electrical system that can store energy for up to seven days allows for living off the grid whenever and wherever you drive. A large side hatch and a rear door open up to an area with an L-shaped bench seat, while also allowing easy access for loading and unloading of any camping gear. The bench can convert to a queen size bed with additional sleeping room for two more adults in the optional roof top tent. A kitchen drawer pulls out from a hidden area under the bench seat to provide five and a half square feet of counter space, along with two large cubbies for added storage. Additional features include LED lighting inside and outside, as well as 12 volt outlets and USB charging ports. Pricing on this one starts around $24,000. - [Cassie] Number three. - [Reacher] Just from looking at the simple curved design of this one with its dual color scheme and belt rail LED lighting system, you might think it's something from the mind of Jony Ive. The camper itself has an interior measuring 10 feet in length, with a width of six and a half feet and a height of just over six feet. It sits on a trailer measuring 13 and a half feet in length, with an external aluminum storage system in the front that slides out to provide more than enough room for Aunt Edna on those long vacations. The rear houses a dinette area that has a table with U-shaped bench seating that converts to an extra bed, if needed. The kitchenette includes a flush mounted dual burner cooktop, a mini fridge, a stainless steel sink. The main sleeping area is housed in the front of the cabin, which has options ranging from bench seating that converts to a twin bed to triple bunk beds. Pricing on the base package currently starts at just under $19,000. - [Cassie] Number two. - [Reacher] At first glance the teardrop shape of this one doesn't stand out. But then you go inside and you see bunk beds and your inner child screams, "gotta have it!". Obviously, that's not how the process actually goes, but bunk beds are cool, so let me have my moment. The slide out houses the kitchen area, which has a microwave that sits above a 105 liter refrigerator. Next to that is a large counter top that contains a recessed dual burner cook top with a flush mounted cover, as well as an under mount sink having a seamless cover to increase the workspace, if needed. Across from that is a fully enclosed wet bath with an integrated toilet and sink. The dinette area consists of an adjustable table with U-shaped bench seating. The rear of the trailer includes a large external hatch that raises to allow the dinette area to be modified into a sleeping area with a queen size bed. A tent like covering can be attached to this opening to provide protection from the elements. The previously mentioned bunk beds are housed in the front of the camper and with each being the size of a twin mattress, they're able to sleep both kids and adults. Starting prices on this one will run you about $22,500. Are you a fan of mini campers? Or will you settle for nothing but the biggest RV you can find? Be sure and let us know in the comments which one you prefer. - [Cassie] Number one. - [Reacher] These touring campers from ERIBA have achieved somewhat of a cult status so it's no surprise that when the company decided to do a limited edition retro design they chose this one. The exterior sports a dual color scheme, which is white on top and blue on bottom with chrome details at the front and rear rounding out the iconic styling. The color coordinated blue accents contrast with the soft wood tones and white upholstery to give the interior the feeling of a 1950's beach side resort. The pop top roof raises the head room to a height of almost six and a half feet giving the camper the feeling of a space larger than it actually is. At the front is the dinette area which has bench style seating that can seat up to four people at the fold down table. The kitchen features a 70 liter fridge/freezer, a sink, and a dual burner cooktop with a flush mounted cover. The bathroom houses a wet bath that includes a bench toilet, a large sink with a vanity, and a removable faucet that serves as a handheld shower head. In addition to the dinette area which can convert to a twin bed, there's also a queen size bed in the rear. Pricing on this one will currently run you about $29,000.
