So, if you’ve always dreamed of owning a camper, maybe it’s finally time to install that trailer hitch on your Honda Civic. Here are the specs on five of our favorite campers that can be hauled with almost any 4-cylinder.

To put micro campers into context, the best-selling camper trailer in North America is the Jayco Jay Flight, which measures 23 feet long and weighs 3,915 pounds — more than what most midsize SUVs can haul.
