Simplify Your Camping Experience with a Blue Mountain Tiny Trailer

Interior, Blue Mountain Appalachian Touring
Tiny trailer camper owners are usually seeking a simple, uncomplicated camping experience, and a new tiny travel trailer company, Blue Mountain Camper Co., is seeking to fulfill tiny travel trailer camping dreams. Their mission statement reads thus: "The Mission of Blue Mountain Camp Co. is to build affordable, simple-to-use, and easy-to-tow campers. There are no dealers or large manufacturing facilities, only handcrafted mini campers designed to last." 

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 2025 Blue Mountain Acorn is an entry-level travel trailer, pricing beginning at $7,850 for the four-foot-tall model. A buyer can choose from a 4’ tall interior (975 lbs) or a 5’ tall interior (1,090 lbs), which immediately adds $2,085 to the price tag. Since these trailers are built to order, some of the possibilities in a tiny trailer--beyond being a "hard-sided tent"--are available upon request. The unit comes with an efficient air conditioner, and a roof rack is an optional feature. The Acorn's webpage has many more exterior and interior photos available.

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.
