    Wasn't sure if this goes in Caps/Shells or Off-Roading & Trails :confused:

    I haven't found a mini-camper thread. Anyone running one of these?

    They look pretty affordable and badass. I'm just looking for something to camp in so it's quieter than a tent, there is a bed, it's more insulated and you can park it at a ski resort or by a lake all summer and have a home base.

    Anyone have any experience with them? Anyone find any good dealers/manufacturers around California?

    My girlfriend and I just got back from a road trip to SC. She ordered a Wander Tears Vaga a while back. Real comfortable, pretty well built. Definitely beats sleeping in the back of the pickup. Big fan.

    Tows real light. Easy money even with her Subaru Crosstrek.

    If we had to do it again, I’d encourage a Timberleaf. These desert kids SUFFERED in the humidity!

    For all the west coasters looking into Hiker Trailers, we officially have a dealership in Denver, Colorado!

    So, pick ups can be completed there, no problem!

    All trailers are now built in Indiana, and shipped to Colorado for west coast pick ups. We can also deliver, or you can come see me here in Indiana and pick it up, and camp on the way home!
