Memories made on trips with Joe Lara Mike Brennan's RVs

A great little trailer which is as described on the listing. Very clean with quite a bit of storage. The only issue we ran into is that since we were camping in locations without power, we found that the battery did not last very long powering the fridge. The fridge is actually a cooler which is powered electrically via the battery. So if you cannot get it powered via battery we just opted to put some ice in it. A nice feature is a secondary cooler in the back which store a couple bags of ice and beer and wine. A great little trailer for a trip. Both Mark and Joe were very good about flexibility which is always appreciated. They met us for both the pick and up and drop off to sign off on it all.

The experience with this rental was mixed and while many aspects of it were positive, in the end, I would not rent from them again.

We very much enjoyed our last minute overnight in the HC1. Our 2009 Volvo CX70 had no problem pulling the trailer, the bed was long enough, the configuration very adaptiv, and warm at night. The many widows ( on every side), the small footprint, and the hatch back opening made it feel more like camping than trailering. Joe and Mike were very responsive, thorough, and helpful for the rental.

We had a great trip with the Happier Camper. Very easy to tow and set up. Super comfortable sleeping. Cooking worked well. Got lots of compliments on the cute trailer!

We loved the Happier Camper, especially that we could stand up in it! Roomy, comfortable, efficient, and Joe’s service and communication were top-notch! Friendly, helpful, really a great experience overall!

From the time we got the camper we knew it was a great decision. Small, comfortable and cozy we enjoyed the next several days along the southwestern coast of Oregon. Joe made the instructions easy and returning the camper was a breeze. Great experience!!

Joe was great to work with. His orientation to the camper was clear and thorough. Anytime we had a question, he was very responsive. Would happily rent from him again.

We were interested in knowing how this trailer would tow with our Subaru Outback. It was great! Hardly knew it was there once you got up to speed. The process of renting was smooth and enjoyable dealing with Mike and Joe. We appreciate their patience with us, the camper cleanliness and support.

Great camper, and Mike was a good communicator and very accommodating. We managed to squeeze our small family of 4 into the bed!

Mike was ready right on time where we agreed to meet for the pick up and return of the trailer. Everything was ready to go. He answered all questions ahead of time. One little nit: the igniter was broken on the stove, but that is common. I know this from having my own RV previously. They can be finicky. We used a handheld lighter as an easy alternative. We enjoyed the trip. It’s a nice trailer that gathers questions and interest from others. The ability to reconfigure the layout to meet your needs is a nice bonus.

The HC1 was in great condition. Easy to tow and comfortable to stay in even on cold nights. It had all the things that we needed and Mike even had hot coco for us to use.

Mike and his business partner Joe were great to work with. They were prompt in their communication and very accommodating with the pickup and drop off times. We were very happy with their service and enjoyed our weekend in the Happier Camper. We would highly recommend them to others.
