Pop up campers can last for years if they’re well maintained and taken care of. Part of this process includes finding and replacing parts when things break. Some of these maintenance items can also improve your overall pop up camping experience.
Here are 15 of the best pop up camper replacement parts!
1. Camper Door Latch
Easily one of the most used parts of a pop-up camper, the door latch. Installing a replacement camper door latch works great if your current latch is broken, doesn’t shut smooth, or has a sticky key.
2. Portable Toilet
Most tent trailers do not include a toilet. Typically only the premium top of the line pop-ups will include a bathroom. In this case, you’ll need a portable toilet for when you can’t make it to the campground bathroom in the middle of the night, or if you’re staying off-grid. These are easy to tuck away and store in cabinetry. Or, if your current toilet doesn’t work, this is a good replacement.
3. Folding Latch Exterior Hardware
Folding latches tend to get a lot of wear and tear on the exterior of the pop-up camper roof. Old latches may already be broken, or not fasten as secure as they should.
4. Trailer LED Side Marker Lights
In addition to the standard trailer lights, side marker lights add some necessary visibility to pop-ups. These ones also function with LED bulbs to keep things nice and bright while out on the highways.
5. LED Ceiling Dome Light
Many older pop-ups have dull or dim dome lights that can be difficult to see with. Having nice and bright LED dome light replacements make a massive improvement when camping and being able to see at night.
6. Pop-Up Camper Tent Trailer Cover
If you plan to store your pop-up camper outside, you should have an RV cover. Simple as that. The canvas material has a tough time holding up against the elements and mildew in the outdoors, despite when popped down with the hardshell. If you can store your pop up in a garage, you’re far better off doing that!
7. Camco T-Level
Keeping your pop-up level is crucial when setting up your camper. A T-Level attaches right to the side of your RV for sake of convenience compared to a traditional level. If you want to sleep well without feeling lopsided, this is a must. Some come with them included, others you may need to install one of these.
8. Snap Cover Outlet Plate
Keeping your electrical outlets safe and protected in the elements is a must. Some pop-ups may already have a cover plate, but it’s a good idea to replace a dingy or broken outside outlet cover.
9. Round Electric Cable Hatch
Your main electrical outlet units that have an outside hatch on pop-ups can get worn out over time. This cable hatch is a fantastic replacement to keep water and moisture outside of your camper.
10. Fabric Repair Kit
With the exterior material of tent trailers being a think canvas, sometimes it can get torn or damaged. Using a repair kit can help for closing up holes or tears in the canvas of your pop up camper.
11. Mattress Replacement
Pop up camper mattress replacements can be one of the best upgrades you can make to your camper. The standard mattresses that come included in most pop-ups are not the most comfortable to sleep on. Or, if you need to replace a damaged mattress. Keep in mind the mattress will need to be cut to size, and no larger than 4-inches in thickness for the slideouts to fit back in when the camper is popped down.
12. Hand Pump Sink Faucet
Depending on your pop up camper, if the faucet goes out, you can go for a hand pump to keep things simple. Alternatively, you can replace it with an electric water pump if you prefer not to hand crank it each time you use the sink.
13. Awning Replacement
Storms, weather, and age can take a toll on a pop up camper awning. Installing an awning replacement will get you a brand new awning that’s easy to set up and keep you covered in the sun or rain.
14. Bike Carrier Rack
If you plan to take some bikes along on your travels, a pop up camper bike rack is a great addition, or as a replacement if your current rack bit the dust. Carrying bikes to the campground can also give you another outdoor activity to do.
15. Folding Camper Lift
Manually cranking up and down a pop up camper can be a bit laborious. If you prefer something more automatic, or if your current lift is broken, a replacement folding camper lift is a great choice.
To Conclude
Depending on the age of your pop up it may be difficult to find the right parts. Most of the pop-up camper parts mentioned in this list are universal and fit various models. It’s important to be specific in order to find what you need. With the right maintenance mindset, your pop up camper can last you for many years to come!
