An introduction to upcoming
options and configurations
Hello Happier Campers!
I first fell in love with classic trailers early on, watching my father
carefully restore these campers in our own backyard. A few years
ago I borrowed a fiberglass trailer from him and I fell in love all over
again. I started taking the trailer out on weekends and visiting parts
of California that I never knew existed. I was amazed at how
comfortable, easy and efficient the trailer was, and that there were
so many places where I could just pull it in, set up camp, and wake up
to a beautiful sunrise. As my bond with the little trailer grew, I started
restoring other vintage trailers and soon found myself with a
driveway full of these egg-shaped campers. Happier Camper is the
result of this; a start-up venture renting new and restored vintage
ultra-light trailers with an emphasis on camper-friendly design,
utility, flexibility and above all, fun!
It’s been a few years since we began working on the HC1, our first
production trailer. This unique trailer is inspired by classic design
but packed with modern functionality. Through our rental business
we spent years reconditioning vintage trailers and taking note of the
features that made them great. By adopting the best parts and
adding a few new ideas of our own, we’ve designed and built what we
think is a distinct and remarkably useful travel trailer. We’ve come a
long way and are thrilled to share the results with you.
This is just the introduction to the HC1. There is much more on the
way to share and build with you.

ADAPTIV™ MODULAR INTERIOR
Our Adaptiv™ modular interior system is designed to allow you to easily reconfigure the interior of the trailer hundreds of
ways, with several sleeping arrangements (up to 5), storage, utility, and flexibility. Consisting of six base components or
cubes, the Adaptiv™ system is unique in its ability to easily and conveniently change a small space into whatever
configuration you may need. A variety of bed sizes, counter tops, tables, and storage can be put together in nearly limitless
ways to quickly build your ideal compact space, a standard camper that can comfortably sleep a family of four complete with
kitchenette, dining table, and storage or just one big bed to jump around on. A mobile office, a sales space, a completely
empty "mini-toy hauler" capable of hauling larger gear — let your imagination free with limitless possibilities in a finite space.
Many of our modular components perform double duty as indoor-outdoor furniture. Take the cubes outside to use for sitting,
storage, or washing. The rugged materials will stand up to the elements and provide the ultimate in camping convenience.
