Campers Under 3,500 lbs For Sale in Norcross, LaGrange, and Richmond Hill, Georgia

Weight is the first thing to check when you shop for a camper, because it decides what you can actually pull. A unit under 3,500 lbs opens up a much wider set of tow vehicles than a conventional travel trailer does. Many mid-size SUVs are rated in the 3,500 to 5,000 lb range, which leaves real margin once you add water, gear and passengers — and margin is what keeps a trip relaxed instead of white-knuckled.

The dry weights listed here come from the manufacturer and do not include fresh water, propane, batteries or anything you pack. A good rule is to leave 15 to 20 percent of your tow rating unused. Check your vehicle door jamb or owner manual for its tow rating and tongue weight limit, and bring those numbers with you — our team can match them against any unit on the lot.

Light does not mean bare. Campers in this class come with real beds, indoor or slide-out kitchens, wet baths, air conditioning and solar prep, depending on the floorplan. Teardrops and A-frames pack down small for storage at home; truck campers skip towing altogether and ride in the bed.

Southland RV operates three Georgia dealerships in the Atlanta area, LaGrange and the Savannah area, and units move between stores. Inventory changes quickly, so call ahead to confirm a specific camper is on the lot before you make the drive.
