I had never thought about renting a trailer to camp in, ever. Then I saw these teardrop trailers and
thought, wow, those are cool. But that's way more than I would ever need to camp. Or so I thought.
And then I spent three days and two nights camping with one and that changed my views.
First off, the online reservation and rental form was super easy. I was even able to watch videos on how to use everything in and on the trailer. All very helpful for a camp trailer novice like myself.
Second, picking up the trailer from Sierra Expeditions in Mesa, AZ was super easy and took much less time than I expected. Wil at Sierra Expeditions gathered some quick details from me and then set about connecting the trailer to my vehicle. I've never connected anything to my vehicle as well as Wil connected the trailer and wiring to it. All wiring secured with zip ties where needed, security chains in place. Absolutely superbly done. I was truly impressed. Wil then explained some specific features of the trailer in more detail and then answered all my questions with expert knowledge of everything I asked about.
Third, towing the trailer was incredibly easy. My vehicle isn't the most powerful but it towed the trailer with ease. Climbing the hills from Phoenix to Payson, it didn't feel like I was towing anything. My vehicle performed virtually the same. The big 35 inch tires and suspension of the trailer ate up all the bumps. When crossing a cattle guard I didn't even feel it when the trailer crossed. I was completely impressed how well and easy it was to tow the SoCal Krawler Teardrop. Wow.
Fourth, as comfortable as my bed at home. Which says a lot. I love my bed at home. The comfort of the mattress surface and having brought my own bed linens (they provide a set if you do need them) and pillows, I slept just as well as I do at home in my own bed as I did in the trailer. Easily there is room for two adults. Exiting and entering the trailer is super easy as there are large locking doors with windows and screens on both sides that make getting in and out easy no matter which side you're on. Open the door, slide your feet out to your waiting flip flops on the fender. The door opens a full 180 degrees and will stay in place when opened all the way. With the roof top fan and sliding windows with screens I stayed perfectly comfortable throughout both nights. The second night I also stayed dry. While my buddies were floating around in their tents on their air mattresses, I was warm and dry with my phone charging in the USB port while listening to the built in stereo.
Fifth, cooking is easy. While I didn't opt to get the portable refrigerator as I already have one in my vehicle, I found that the location of it was perfect. The ARB 45 quart refrigerator/freezer has held a week of perishable food for me without having to deal with ice or leaky coolers. If you don't have a portable refrigerator/freezer, opting for one is highly recommended, even if it's just to keep the beer cold. Make life easy! I did not use the stove, but I did connect it and test it to see how well it worked. Setup took about 90 seconds and with the propane tank on the side and extra fuel in the storage area under the mattress, you won't be running out of fuel anytime soon. I liked the higher than normal prep surface/counter. I made coffee via French press and Jetboil there each morning and made less of a mess than I usually do at home. Plenty of storage and they provide pots and pans, paper plates, plastic utensils, a cutting board and helpful cooking implements. With plenty of storage room to bring your own if you wish too. There is also a super bright LED at the back that lets you see everything you're preparing and cooking. I liked that the LED had two levels of brightness so when done cooking you can dim it down.
Sixth, messy and wet items have a storage place of their own! A clever metal cage is placed at the front of the trailer that I used for firewood which allowed me to keep my vehicle and the trailer free of those annoying bugs and debris that always falls off the firewood. I also placed a gasoline jerry can inside so I didn't have to carry it in my vehicle or in the trailer. And when packing up to head home, it's the perfect spot to put the soaking wet camp chairs that were rained on overnight so they will dry out.
But probably, the most important thing I can mention here is how much more relaxed I was all weekend. I didn't have to deal with any off the stress of having to unload the tent from the car, find a spot to set it up where there weren't any ant hills or cactus, didn't have to clear away any rocks, I just parked. My camp was setup! Done! And when it was time to go home, toss the chairs in the box and go! Drop off with Wil and done. So easy. So relaxing, so stress free! I would so rent again!
Thanks for making my camping weekend so relaxing and awesome! Exactly what camping SHOULD be. Thank you!

I had a great experience at Woburn Toyota. Sales Manager Wally Sabet and Certified Sales Consultant
Hany The Egyptian Guy are a great team. I was met with a smile and they both worked diligently to be sure I received my request. Hany searched high and low with a smile to find the vehicle of my choice (unable to find, was not an option). Every request was looked into and most, if not all was provided, again, with a smile. Plan to spend a little :) time to be sure to leave with what you came in for. I left Woburn Toyota with the car of my choice and a deal i was happy with. Hany is a great asset to Woburn Toyota and Wally is his backbone. The staff are all pleasant and ready to assist. I highly recommend Woburn Toyota.
The Dealership itself is beautiful including a great little restaurant upstairs in the service waiting area.... Crossroads Cafe offering a variety of meals from breakfast items, including Lattes, specialty coffees to salads and sandwiches and my favorite Ahi tuna salad or wrap. Matt is very accommodating.

We were so pleased with the service we received in replacing 2 house batteries in our motor home. Th
e manager, Pete, took time to explain what was needed and when we told him we were living on the vehicle, he assured us that he could come to Ft Meade campground and provide service on site. He did just that one day after we met with him at their facility. We sincerely appreciated his pleasant manner and willingness to go beyond our expectations.
