Are you asking, “What is a tip out on a camper?” This wasn’t a term that I had heard until I was pretty far into RV life so, I thought I’d let you know what it is so you can be ahead of the curve.
A tip out is an expandable room on an RV that is on a hinge and tips out. They are similar to slide outs but they tip vs slide.
Some people use the term tip out and slide out as an interchangeable term, but that’s not what it is. Since tips outs are so uncommon, many people that RV haven’t ever seen one “in real life.”
You can see what an RV tip out looks like on this post from a trailer towing service.
Conclusion
Have you ever seen a tip out in person? If you haven’t make sure to let us know in the comments.
