Here’s Aaron’s experience:

Kris was wonderful to work with. I met him in CO Springs to pick it up and he was nice enough at the end of our trip to meet at my house in Westminster to pick it up given another customer was renting in our area.

I rented the Mantis for a 5 night camping trip in Southern Utah with my wife and 1yo daughter. We pulled it behind a Tacoma and it was the perfect trailer for upgrading from your standard car camping trip.

Given the weight, it was slower going up and over the passes but otherwise the trailer was easy to tow. There was enough room for a pack and play for our daughter to sleep. We were mainly dispersed camping and the solar panel was able to charge the fridge the entire time.

The water tank is big enough for about 1-2 days of use, depending if you use the shower or not… Speaking of which the outdoor shower with hot water was a god send! This trailer is a perfect if you still want to rough it in style, without all the glitz and glamor of a standard RV trailer.

Drivable RV Rental Colorado

There are tons of RVs and camper trailers available for rent in Colorado, and there are pros and cons to each of these options.

Drivable RVs are also called motorhomes. These options do not require another vehicle to tow them. These can be great if you are not comfortable backing up or making turns with a trailer.

It is important to know, though, that they cannot fit in all standard parking spaces. Plus, with a trailer, you can leave some gear at a campsite and head off on an adventure, while you cannot do this with a drivable RV.

A benefit to drivable RVs is that you can ride in them while you drive, which you cannot do with a travel trailer.
