Folding Camper
« on: October 06, 2014, 05:02:03 PM »
I've done some searching but can't seem to find the answer.

What is the best way to fold a soft floor camper.

Is there a correct or incorrect way of folding.

If this has been discussed in the past can someone steer me in the correct direction.

Really as long as you can get it back onto the trailer & under the travel cover its good . Any soft floor should fold up in layers . Watch carefully as it unpacks . Folding in sequence is the best answer .  :cheers:

agree, we have put our soft floor back together around 7 times only and the last time we did in sequence, slowly and without arguing (wife and I) she would have me believe that I listed to her this time. The more practice the easier it definitely gets last time was without a discussion either around divorce or selling the camper

ahh we all been there with the wife :(

I have my 14yr old son help me now, less chance of him talking back to me when i tell him this is the way to do it.


Easiest way is to take some photos as you unpack, then use them as a referance, we went to office works and got some A4 prints done for each section on ours and had them laminated so they can stay with our camper, took us about 5-6 trips before we finally worked out we were doing it wrong, once we got it right it folds neat. Make sure you leave the end windows open so the trapped air can get out too, this will help heaps when your trying to get it neat.

Have a look at this thread, http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=13355.0
Some brands packs bit differently.
On mine I have to lower 2 roof bars so I marked the roof bars where they are to finish to fit perfectly.
