Hi, I'm Rachel. My husband and I are purchasing a
Happier Camper for ourselves and our preschooler. We both grew up camping and have tent camped a few weekends a year until this past year.
With COVID we rented an RV and spent a week driving to visit my parents, and loved the ease of it! Such a step up from sleeping bags falling off the cot into a puddle, muddy dog paws all over our duffel bag, and a full day of cleaning when we get home so the tent doesn't mildew. I loved the RV since we could pull off the road and make some lunch, or drive late and easily put the kiddo to bed when we arrived.
We've realized with a small kid and the state of the world we'll probably be camping as our vacations for the next year or more. Open to advice and threads to follow! We're excited to get our trailer (in 6-8 months) and start camping again.
