Rent pop-up camper?

[Momto2plustwins]

Im having a very hard time finding a place that rents pop up campers to the fort. We have a tent site booked, arrive on Halloween...will be driving all night to get there due to the Halloween party not being on the first this year. So we basically will have no time to set up camp. We have 4 kids, two that are two. It would be so much easier to have a pop up set up for us. Are they no longer available to rent?

We have no pop up rental information. It seems only travel trailers are rented. There are 2 that WDW endorses.

There is a site that keeps popping up with ads, Outdoorsy. I have no first hand knowledge of them.

We rented a pop up from Fort Camper Rental in 2015 but unfortunately they have closed. When I did research for 2017 I was unable to find another pop up rental company so we decided to go with a travel trailer from Greenburg (which we had to cancel for various reasons). Maybe somebody here will have better info for you. Good luck!

Will a travel trailer work in a tent site? I know nothing about any type of camper.

If you don't mind staying in a tent, I am pretty sure FW rents them and will set them up for you. At least I know they will for group camping. You may want to call and get more information.

No they have been cracking down on that is the word.

Every time we have been there, travel trailers have been in the tent loops. Usually quite a few of them. Last visit 11/2017.

There is no septic hook up on the tent sites, only electric, water, cable, and wifi. Depending on the trailer and length of stay, that may not be an issue. Travel trailers have black and grey water holding tanks that may be large enough to accommodate your length of stay without being emptied.

I can't comment on whether or not it will fit or if it's allowed, but just know that you won't have the sewer hookup in the tent loops. You will still have water and electricity though.

I'm following this because i keep hearing conflicting info.

My 1 day old TT at 20.5 feet tip to tail is shorter than some pop ups out there and I have no slide outs. While shopping I was in a pop up that slept 8 that was 50% longer and 50% wider because it had a slide out.

I can't comment on whether or not it will fit or if it's allowed, but just know that you won't have the sewer hookup in the tent loops. You will still have water and electricity though.

Also we are I guess now former tent campers and the confort stations are way better then my bathroom at home. We are not even sure we are going to use the TT facilities to its fullest extent if you know what I mean.

I think the bigger issue if its allowed is if the rental places have a smaller TT that would fit on a tent/pop up site. I would think most are going to go for the bigger twin axle size rigs versus my little TT.

We have a full bathroom, with shower, in our pup. We don't use the shower on tent sites, and use the toilet for only #1. We are avid campers, mostly at Florida state parks, none of which have septic on sites. The advantage that we have is that our toilet is a cassette, which means we can just pull the tank out the side and take it to an empty site at the Fort to dump. We don't have to drag the entire trailer along. Our grey water tank is exterior and hooks to the hitch on our tow vehicle to tke to empty.

The best thing about being at Disney is that we fill the tanks half as fast. We are really only at the camper at night and early mornings. I "think" our cassette toilet is only 6 gallons and it will last two weeks at Disney with 5 people (I'm the only female, so not much TP) using it for #1 only. Same for our grey water tank, which is 32 gallon. We don't have to empty it until the end of two weeks at the Fort.

By comparison, the same people camping at a state park, it lasts about 5 or 6 days before we need to empty.

Meachams seem to have one. It's there camper number 32 and it says that it will fit on a tent/popup site. There is also camper number 31 but I'm not sure if this will fit. I've been looking myself as we have a tent site booked for December. I'm still hoping something bigger will come up but not liking my chances.

Camper #31 will fit on a tent/pop up site. It states that on their site, and the photos are of it set up on a Fort tent site.

Thanks for that. This is the one I want but I've been over the site several times and can't see where it says this.

Go to this page and scroll down until you see the photo of the camper on the left side of page. Right under it, there is blue writing that says Camper #FW31. Then directly below that blue writing it says it will fit on tent pop up sites.

Oh this is perfect info. I have a tent site booked for Christmas 2019 and my SIL is now mentioning she would like to join me but would need to rent a trailer of some kind. Any thoughts about whether she can use the bathroom in the trailer if she rents from Meechams? She can shower in the main bathroom but has mobility issues so being able to use the trailer bathroom would help.

Oh boy...you just sent me down a rabbit hole. Popup trailers look very reasonably priced! Especially compared to the $1k quote I got from Meechams for 1 week.
