What is the cheapest brand new camper available?

The cheapest brand new camper available in North America is typically a small, lightweight, no-frills travel trailer or cargo-style camper from entry-level brands like Coleman, Sunray, or Coachmen. As of 2024-2025, the absolute cheapest new hard-sided travel trailer is often the Sunray 109 or Sunray 129, which can be found new for around 11,000 to 14,000 dollars, and the Coleman Rubicon 1200RK, a small toy-hauler style cargo camper that retails for about 12,000 to 15,000 dollars new. In the more traditional family travel trailer category, the cheapest new models are the Coleman Lantern LT 17B, Coleman Lantern LT 17FQ, and similar Dutchmen-built models, as well as Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 16BHS and Jayco Jay Flight SLX 7 145RB, all priced around 16,500 to 21,000 dollars new depending on dealer incentives. For pop-up style, new Braxton Creek and Aliner scout models start around 14,000 dollars. These cheapest campers achieve low prices by being very light at 2,500 to 3,500 pounds, having no slide-outs, using basic interiors, and including only essential appliances. Used campers are far cheaper, but for brand new with a factory warranty, the sub-15,000 dollar Sunray and Coleman Rubicon 1200RK represent the entry point, while 17-foot bunkhouse models around 18,000 dollars are the cheapest true family campers with bathroom and kitchen.
