Great communication, excellent walk through and assistance at pick-up and drop off. CeCe provided a great base for a rainy, cool, off grid Memorial Day weekend.

This trailer was awesome! Towed really easily while providing plenty of room for my dog and I on a weekend biking trip. Derek is a great host; he explained everything thoroughly and had the trailer set up perfectly for my weekend. Would definitely rent this trailer again!

Frequently asked questions

Q.

What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?

A.

We are usually very flexible and accommodate your schedule to the best of our abilities.

Q.

Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the RV easily?

A.

We have several YouTube videos walking through the operation of the RV that we can provide upon request and we also answer any questions during pickup.

Q.

How do the electric, water and sewage hook up work while setting up at the campground?

A.

If you are camping in a spot that provides RV hookups, then all you need is to hookup to the electric and water connections, and sewer if desired (this can be handled differently). If camping at a location without hookups, then we advise adding on the solar panels at a minimum for electric. If sun exposure is limited or it is expected to get really hot, we advise adding on the generator. The onboard water tank should last up to 3 days depending on usage.

Q.

What equipment do I need to tow the RV?

A.

At a minimum you need a 7-pin connector. We also highly advise a trailer brake controller be installed in your tow vehicle, especially if your vehicle is mid-sized. This is required to for the trailer brakes to operate. Wireless controllers are available (Curt makes one).

Amazing family of four and we are a bunch of adventurers with the goal to visit all US National Parks. We also love getting out on hiking, biking, backpacking and rock climbing trips.
