Interior, Blue Mountain Appalachian Touring |
My prior blog article on this company provided background on the company's experience--over 400 little trailers constructed since 2012 (see "Blue Mountain Camper Co. -- a New Company Old in Experience.")
This article focuses on the two tiny trailers the company is currently building, the Appalachian and the Acorn. According to the company's website, the construction of these campers include three features: rot-free composite construction, advanced insulation, and pop-out windows.
- Rot-free Composite Body: "This includes the floor, walls, and roof. No wood structure to rot or decay."
- Advanced Insulation: "All models have a spray foam insulated ceiling."
- Pop-out Windows: "All models feature awning-style windows with shades and screens. These windows are much more effective in the rain than sliding windows."
The Blue Mountain 2025 Appalachian Touring model, with only a five-foot-tall model, is an entirely different tiny travel trailer experience, providing many more camping amenities, including birch cabinetry, which is why the price tag begins at $13,850. It's easy to see this new company's marketing strategy--feature two models, a simple, lower-priced camper and a more luxurious model. Then potential buyers will have a vision of possibilities. "At 1,570 pounds, the Appalachian Touring is a compact camper that most mid-sized SUVs and vans can tow. It has added safety features, such as standard electric brakes." This model also includes quite a few nice "extras."
The main thing to remember when purchasing a Blue Mountain trailer is that the ordering process is individualized. The company's webpage has a "Build and Order" tab which takes you to an order page where you can choose the trailer you want and the extras you want. In addition, you can interact with the build team to individualize the process even more. Lead time is 2-4 months prior to pick-up, depending on the model you choose and the time of year you order.
I've written enough introduction here. If you are interested in ordering a trailer or in just browsing, go to the company's webpage, check out their deals, and feast your eyes on some beautiful tiny trailer craftsmanship. The company hasn't listed a telephone number yet, but the webpage has an email address, so individual questions can be sent and the communication process begun. There are many good tiny trailers available on the market, and Blue Mountain trailers are a welcome addition, providing even greater choice to those interested in getting out there by going small.
