Top Tips & What To Consider When Buying a Camping Trolley

What are you using it for?

Which one you will go for will largely depend on how you’ll be using it.

If you’re a regular camper and lugging it across all sorts of terrain you’ll want something with excellent wheels and as durable as possible.

Use the trolley for all sorts of situations

These trolleys are super functional and you can use in all sorts of scenarios.

You get what you pay for

There’s a lot of moving parts with these camping trolleys. Throw in lots of weight and it puts a lot of pressure on the components.

Be aware that if you opt for a very cheap option some of the parts will wear out quite quickly.

Likewise if you’re only using lightly once a year I wouldn’t recommend getting a higher end model.

Off Road Capabilities and Wheels

Depending on the terrain you’ll be using it on think carefully about the type of wheels you go for.

More durable and wider wheels will serve you better in the short and long run.

Capacity

Depending on what you’ll be transporting will determine the best dimensions you require. Obviously the more you transport the greater volume would be preferable.

Maximum Load

The weight these camping trolleys can carry varies greatly. You may be better spending a little more than having to do many more trips with the trolley.

Weight & Portability

When the trolley is folded up, how much room does it take up?

If you have plenty of space in the car then this is less of an issue.
