This post compares my top 3 campers for those with chronic illness. During Covid-19 I wanted to get out and experience nature as a way to vacation without the risks of human contact. And so did a lot of other people! Sales of campers boomed, campsites were full, and vlogs about van life and car life exploded. Self-contained alternatives for vacationing like travel trailers and vans appeal to me with my Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) diagnosis since I can’t tolerate hotels due to off-gassing building materials, mold, and the standard use of cleaning and laundry chemicals.
