An owner recently posted this on our Facebook group and I thought it was so great, such a perfect description of what we all love about our Happier Campers, that I asked her for permission to share it here.
Now that we've "broken in" our camper (picked up in March this year from LA, drove it home, and have taken it in 3 weekend trips then a 12-day road trip around our home state), l'll share my favorite things about it.
As a background, we are a family of 5, kids are 12, 9, and 8, and we have a rooftop tent to supplement our sleeping spaces. We've never owned a camper before.
Favorite things:
It's so cute. It's never not cute.
We have the solar package. That alone is almost worth towing it around since it charges all our electronics. We almost never stay at campsites with full hookups so this is a pretty awesome upgrade for us. No more going to the campground bathroom to charge my phone!
Adaptiv cubes are so sweet. Each kid got a cube for their things and it's more than enough for almost 2 weeks of clothes with a lot of room to spare. We didn't even use all the cubes we have, think of the possibilities!
The camper itself is very comfty cozy. My husband is 6'1" and he does fit standing up in the middle and fits in the beds (we have a queen and single). Cushions are comfortable by themselves to sleep on. I quarantined in it for a week a few months ago and it worked out great (I worked, slept and ate in it). Hanging out or eating in it all together is surprisingly comfy as well.
Being able to store or throw anything else in the camper while traveling. We were able to fit in 2 kid bikes while in bed mode, and a lot of our other crap we don't want to bother "tetris-ing" into our truck bed.
It's pretty sound proof which is so nice when vou have loud children during quiet times in the campground.
It's still small enough that we can travel to and fit into most places! I love this so much. This was the main deciding factor for us to go smaller vs big rv camper.
Did I mention it's so cute? It's not an eyesore parked in my backyard.
The awning! It's not the sturdiest but it's so convenient especially in our pnw climate (I.e. could rain any time). And did you notice that we can use it as a proiector screen when it's down?!? We haven't tried this but l'll post about it when we do!
I'm sure I have a few more. We do have a list of improvements but they're small things so far, and we can figure out ways to resolve them.
We LOVE our HC1!
