2016 Coachmen Clipper Sport 106 — Lightweight Pop-Up Camping Made Easy

The 2016 Coachmen Clipper Sport 106 is a lightweight folding camper designed for families and couples who want to enjoy the open-air feeling of tent camping while adding the comfort of real beds, a dinette, indoor cooking space, fresh-water storage, and a solid roof overhead.

Compact when folded and opening to nearly 18 feet at the campsite, the Clipper Sport 106 offers an impressive amount of usable space without the size or weight of a traditional travel trailer. Coachmen designed the Clipper around easy setup and lightweight towing, making the 106 an appealing pre-owned choice for first-time RVers, weekend campers, and anyone looking to simplify their camping adventures.

Why Campers Love the Clipper Sport 106

The Best of Tent Camping — Without Sleeping on the Ground

The appeal of the Clipper Sport 106 is pretty simple: it keeps much of what people love about traditional camping while removing some of the things they don't.

You still get the fresh air, canvas surroundings, screened windows, sounds of the campground, and feeling of actually being outdoors.

But instead of sleeping on the ground, you've got raised beds, cushions, interior lighting, a dining table, kitchen space, storage, and a solid roof over your head.

When a middle-of-the-night rainstorm rolls through the campground, that last feature suddenly feels pretty luxurious.

Glide-N-Lock Makes Setup Easier

One of Coachmen's standout features on the Clipper was its Glide-N-Lock cable-supported bed system.

Traditional pop-up campers often require exterior support poles beneath the pull-out beds. With Coachmen's system, the beds slide outward and lock into position while being supported by integrated cables.

That means fewer loose components to carry and fewer steps between pulling into the campsite and getting the first marshmallow over the fire.

A Surprisingly Roomy Interior

Once the roof is raised and both tent ends are extended, the little Clipper becomes a surprisingly spacious camper.

The opposing sleeping areas keep the beds out of the center of the floorplan, leaving room for the dinette, galley, storage, and walking space.

The dinette serves multiple purposes throughout the trip. It's the breakfast table in the morning, card-game headquarters when it rains, and additional sleeping space when another camper comes along.

The table itself can even be removed and used outside at the campsite.

Simple Campground Cooking

The Clipper 106 keeps the galley simple and functional.

A two-burner cooktop and deep-bowl sink provide the basics for preparing campsite meals, while cabinetry and countertop space give you room for food and cooking supplies. The 106 was also available with additional equipment such as a refrigerator depending on how the camper was originally configured.

It's enough to handle breakfast before hitting the trail, lunch during an afternoon thunderstorm, or a late-night snack when somebody realizes they somehow didn't eat enough around the campfire.

Designed for Easy Towing

One of the biggest advantages of a folding camper is what happens when it's time to leave.

The roof lowers, the beds slide back inside, and the entire camper becomes a compact, low-profile package.

That means considerably less frontal area than a traditional travel trailer, while Coachmen's Wide Trac suspension was designed to provide a wider stance for improved towing stability.

Tow-vehicle compatibility should still be determined using the individual camper's actual loaded weight, tongue weight, vehicle payload, hitch rating, passengers, and cargo rather than relying solely on published unloaded weights.

Great for State Parks & Smaller Campsites

The compact footprint of the Clipper Sport 106 makes it especially appealing for campers who enjoy state parks, wooded campgrounds, and older camping areas where maneuvering a large travel trailer can become challenging.

Once folded, it's also considerably easier to store than most conventional RVs.

For someone with limited driveway or storage space, that's a big advantage.

Who Is the Clipper Sport 106 Perfect For?

The 2016 Coachmen Clipper Sport 106 is an excellent choice for couples, young families, first-time RV buyers, former tent campers, and anyone looking for a simple and lightweight way to enjoy the campground.

It's particularly attractive for campers who want multiple beds, indoor cooking space, a dinette, fresh-water storage, and protection from the weather without jumping into a larger travel trailer.

It can also make an excellent step between tent camping and owning a full-size RV.

A Great Way to Start Making Camping Memories

As a pre-owned camper, the Coachmen Clipper Sport 106 offers something increasingly difficult to find in today's RV market: simplicity.

There's no giant entertainment center, residential refrigerator, fireplace, automatic leveling system, or collection of slide-outs.

Instead, you get a comfortable place to sleep, somewhere to cook and eat, protection from the weather, and a cozy home base for exploring the campground.

Sometimes that's all you really need.
