Camping in recreational vehicles can be an expensive hobby (which is one reason renting first to try it out is not a terrible idea). A well-appointed camper van can cost into the six figures. Camping trailers can still get pretty pricey, too ... but they don't always have to be.
Back in August, Winnebago unveiled a new super-affordable camping trailer solution called the Access that's now available for order. Here's what you need to know about it.
The Winnebago Access sleeps up to six passengers
The Access camping trailer comes in five different floor plans, ranging between 29 and 33 feet in length and sleeping anywhere from three to six people. Several versions offer pop-outs for extra room when parked.
The sofa and dinette areas can also be converted into sleeping compartments. And in a happy note for folks who enjoy bathing, the trailers include a dry bath with separate toilet and 30"-x-36" shower.
The Winnebago Access comes with quite a few standard features for the
The Access has an array of standard features, including an enclosed and heated underbelly, 12-volt water tank pad heaters, a factory-supplied 200-watt solar panel and Wifi. Electric tongue jacks easily move the trailer up and down, and powered stabilization jacks deploy with the push of buttons. The Access also has a two-inch accessory receiver hitch that can hold up to 350 pounds of bikes or other gear.
The Access also offers some cool options
The Access can be fitted with 14-inch by 22-inch skylights, easy-to-clean porcelain toilets, thicker and UV-blocking sidewall metal, reinforced under-bed storage and LED lighting on the exterior and interior.
And this Winnebago is super-affordable for a camping trailer
The Access starts at $29,600 for the 26BH floor plan, making it around $16,500 cheaper than Winnebago's Hike camping trailer and less than half the price of the smaller Airstream Bambi or SylvanSport Vast. The larger 25ML, 30BH and 28FK floor plans — all of which include pop-outs for extra room — range between $32,130 and $33,460, making each one a solid deal.
The Access is on sale now at Winnebago dealerships.
