Eclipse Chaser! If you want to see the eclipse close up, you've probably found that hotels in the path of totality are long since booked up. Why not take your room with you. Located in central Connecticut, we're an easy day's drive to lots of locations along the path. From Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse NY to all of northern Vermon & New Hampshire, through central Maine. We're not charging a premium, pick up by the morning of April 5th and pay the same $129 per night.
Whether your Glamping with all the amenities, or roughing, this is the ideal lightweight camper for a small family to take on the next adventure. 2,800# empty, it can be towed by most midsized pick-up trucks, SUVs and even some mini-vans. Nearly new and maintained in great condition, with one full-size bed and two bunks, bathroom, sink, gas cooktop, microwave, flat-screen TV, DVD, AM/FM radio with Bluetooth, inside & outside speakers, it is the perfect home away from home for 3 to 5 days. Heat and A/C of course! We've recently upgraded to dual deep-cycle batteries for those who want to get even further away and try boondocking for two or three night stay. A 3,500 Watt generator is available for longer adventures!
Rental includes a matched weight distributing hitch, bike rack by request, camp chairs, bedding, dinnerware and cutlery for four.

    Member since 2020

    Courtney and I began camping in 2018 as our two sons became old enough to participate. We purchased our first travel trailer Pipsie, in 2019 and used it throughout the year. Barely a year later, we upgraded to a 5th wheel trailer and heavier tow vehicle, but chose to keep Pipsie to share with others. Hopefully, you will experience as much enjoyment with her as we have.

    We enjoyed a week in upstate NY with Pipsie- she was clean, comfortable and well equipped- everything worked well. She is a great size for a couple, the extra bunks provided convenient storage. And we could bring our dog too! Jared was very accommodating and helpful.

    Jared and Courtney were wonderful hosts. They quickly answered questions that I had while we were on the trip. The trailer was very comfortable for our family of 4. It was clean and well stocked.... They even left a welcome package for us, which came in handy!
