Tow it with the car you already own, or let me deliver it and set it up at your campsite. Our Happier Camper HC1 weighs just 1,100 lbs (about 120 lbs on the hitch), so any crossovers and small SUVs with a Class II hitch can pull it; recent guests have towed it with a RAV4 Prime and a Tesla. First-time trailer renters are our specialty: I hitch it up with you, walk you through everything, and stay a text away during your trip. Dogs are welcome.Why the HC1
This is the retro-styled, double-hull fiberglass trailer that turns heads at every campground. The big rear hatch swings open so the whole back of the trailer becomes a doorway to your view. Inside, Happier Camper's Adaptiv modular system lets you rearrange the space in minutes: a queen bed plus a twin, a dinette for four, or an open floor for bikes, boards and gear. The same cubes double as outdoor seating, storage and an icebox cooler.
Power Wherever You Park
A roof solar panel keeps the onboard 1 kWh lithium battery charged, and we include four Jackery portable power stations (a 1000, two 500s and a 240) with a folding 100 W solar panel to recharge them. The onboard battery runs the 38-quart AC/DC fridge, the 14-inch two-way ceiling fan, the lights and your devices for as long as you want to stay off the grid. At a site with hookups, plug into shore power and use the included electric heater. You can also use the electric heater with the provided Jackery batteries.
Stay a Week, Get the Generator Free
Book 7 nights or more and I'll throw in the portable 2,200 W propane/gas generator for free (normally a $10/night add-on). No need to add it at checkout; just message me after you book and I'll have it ready with the trailer.
Camp Kitchen and Campfire
Morning coffee works even off-grid, since the Keurig runs on the Jackery 1000. Cook outside on the two-burner propane stove and eat at the folding table (pots, plates, cups and silverware included), then settle in around the Solo Stove or the portable propane fire pit (often allowed when wood fires are restricted). Two camp chairs, an awning and blackout curtains are included.
No Tow Vehicle? We Deliver
We deliver and set up within 50 miles of Moorpark, which covers the Malibu beach campgrounds, Point Mugu, Ventura, Ojai, Lake Piru and Castaic Lake. Choose delivery when you book and the trailer will be leveled and ready when you arrive.
Good to Know (So There Are No Surprises)
- No bathroom on board. This is a campground trailer, so plan on sites with restrooms.
- No air conditioning. The fan and insulated double hull keep it comfortable at the coast and in the mountains; plan accordingly for summer desert trips.
- Cozy for two adults, or two adults plus two kids on the queen-and-twin setup.
- Bring your own bedding, pillows and towels. Pots, plates, cups, silverware, a Keurig coffee maker, the fridge, stove, table, chairs and fire pits are provided.
- Your vehicle needs a 2-inch receiver hitch (Class II or higher) and a 7-pin or 4-pin trailer plug. I can supply the ball mount with a 2-inch ball and a 7-to-4-pin adapter if you need them.
- The HC1 has electric brakes that work through the 7-pin plug if your vehicle has a brake controller, but Happier Camper notes the trailer is light enough to tow without one, and most of our guests do. In CA, any trailer under 1,500 lbs is not required to have a braker controller. I've never used it with this HC1, but you're welcome to use one if you have one.
- Flexible pickup: if the trailer isn't out the day before, you can usually pick it up the evening before your trip starts at no extra charge.
- Renters must be 25 or older (our house rule). No smoking, no festivals, no off-roading.

RecomendacionesThe HC1 is light enough that nothing in Southern California is off the table. Favorites by drive time from Moorpark:UNDER AN HOUR
- Malibu beach camping at Leo Carrillo State Park and Point Mugu (Sycamore Canyon and Thornhill Broome): surf, tide pools and canyon hikes.
- The Ventura County coast: Emma Wood, McGrath, Faria and Hobson beaches. Camp steps from the sand, and take the day boat to the Channel Islands from Ventura Harbor.
- Ojai: Lake Casitas, or Wheeler Gorge in Los Padres National Forest, plus Ojai's downtown.
- Lake Piru and Castaic Lake for fishing and paddling.
1 TO 2 HOURS
- The Santa Barbara coast: Carpinteria, El Capitán and Refugio State Beaches.
- Santa Ynez Valley wine country from Lake Cachuma.
2 TO 4 HOURS
- Pismo Beach and Morro Bay.
- Big Bear and Idyllwild for mountain weekends.
- The Kern River, Sequoia and Kings Canyon.
- Joshua Tree and Anza-Borrego in the cooler months (fall through spring; remember there's no AC).
4 HOURS AND BEYOND
- Big Sur (Kirk Creek and Plaskett Creek).
- The Eastern Sierra along Highway 395: Alabama Hills, Mammoth Lakes and June Lake.
- Death Valley in winter.
Tip: California state beach campgrounds open for booking six months ahead on ReserveCalifornia, so grab those early. National Forest campgrounds and dispersed sites are easier last-minute, and the HC1's off-grid power was made for them.
Otros detalles importantesWe're a family that loves this little trailer, and we rent it out so others can enjoy it too. A few house rules keep it in great shape for everyone:- Renters must be 25 or older. This is our house rule and it's stricter than Outdoorsy's 21+ badge, so please confirm you meet it before booking.
- No smoking or vaping of any kind in or around the trailer.
- No music festivals (Burning Man, Coachella, Stagecoach and the like) and no tailgating. If that's your trip, this isn't the right trailer, and that's okay.
- Paved roads and maintained campground roads only. No off-roading or beach/sand driving.
- Dogs are welcome; please bring a blanket or cover for the cushions and bed.
- Maximum of 4 overnight guests.
- Return it swept out with the fridge emptied, and we'll handle the deep clean.
- Normal cleaning is covered by the prep fee; excessive mess, pet hair left on the cushions or unwashed dishes may incur an additional cleaning charge.
- Drive gently, take the curves slow, and have a wonderful trip.

Lightweight and easy to tow

The Happier Camper HC1 is consistently described as easy and light to tow, even with smaller vehicles like a Rav4. It's clean, comfortable, well-stocked, compact, and features built-in solar power.

John was super helpful on our inaugural tow trailer experience. He was very responsive to our newbie questions and first-timer hiccups, and we’re so thankful for the memories made and easy of this trailer. Plus it’s so cute and gets lots of attention!

We had a great time, the camper was fun and easy to tow. Many people complemented it and asked to see the inside. We really enjoyed it and had a great time at Jamala Beach. My Wife, Myself and my Son stayed in the camper and realy loved it. Very straight forward and easy to use.

This little HC1 is clean, in great condition and was perfect for my camping needs. I can pull it easily with my Rav4 Prime, even up and down steep grades. John is an excellent host. He is flexible and works hard to ensure the guest has a great experience. I highly recommend this little trailer and it's wonderful owner. I enjoyed the experience so much, I bought an HC1 of my own!

Preguntas frecuentes

P.

Can my car tow it?

A.

Very likely. The HC1 weighs 1,100 lbs dry with about 120 lbs of tongue weight, so most crossovers and small SUVs rated to tow 1,500 lbs or more handle it easily (recent guests used a RAV4 Prime; I pull it with a Tacoma). You need a 2-inch receiver hitch, Class II or higher, and a trailer light plug: it's wired for 7-pin, and I include a 4-pin adapter if needed. Check your owner's manual for your tow rating, or message me with your vehicle.

P.

Do I need a brake controller?

A.

No. The HC1 has electric brakes that work through the 7-pin plug if your vehicle already has a controller, but Happier Camper notes the trailer is light enough to tow without one, and most of our guests tow it without. Outdoorsy's spec box says "brake controller: not provided" only because we don't supply one.

P.

I don't have a hitch or a tow vehicle. Can I still rent it?

A.

Yes. We deliver and set up within 50 miles of Moorpark (Malibu, Point Mugu, Ventura, Ojai, Lake Piru, Castaic and more). Select delivery when you book; the fee is calculated by distance at checkout. The trailer will be leveled and ready when you arrive, and we pick it up when you're done.

P.

What should I bring? Is there a bathroom?

A.

Bring your own bedding (queen and twin), pillows and towels, plus propane (or add a full tank at checkout). We provide pots, plates, cups, silverware, a Keurig coffee maker, the fridge, two-burner stove, table, chairs, fire pits and all the solar and battery gear. There's no bathroom or shower on board, so plan on campgrounds with restrooms; most state beaches and the campgrounds we recommend have them.
