Why Spend Thousands On A Tricked-Out Adventure Trailer When You Can Rent One For Hundreds?

By Amanda DePerro Published December 16, 2019

Though most reasonable people enjoy the concept of The Great Outdoors, many can’t bring themselves to actually go camping. For one, purchasing all the necessary equipment can be pretty expensive. Also, sleeping on the ground holds little appeal for many folks.

Off The Grid Rentals, based in Laguna Hills, CA, has found a way to give aspiring campers the best of all possible worlds. By renting one of their off-road teardrop trailers, you can experience the outdoors without sleeping on the ground and enjoy the amenities of a camper without worrying about maintenance or storage. It’s a win-win-winnebago.

The off-road teardrop trailer comes with a radio, a 12v outlet, a 30-gallon tank for fresh water, a comfy mattress for two adults, and an optional roof-top tent can bring the total number of campers up to five. It’s also tricked out with a two-burner propane stove, side-mounted sink, and a locking slider for your cooler. All this rides on all-terrain tires that can handle California’s roughest areas.

Renting a trailer is basically like bringing your own villa wherever you go, and at $170 a night, it costs much less than your average villa. Weighing in at 1,250 pounds, just about any vehicle with a trailer hitch can handle the teardrop trailer.

If you would rather forgo the teardrop trailer, you can rent an array of camping equipment, including roof top tents, a 50-quart fridge freezer, a 1000-watt generator, a 2000-watt generator, or a truck rack that can support up to 800 pounds of cargo.

Off The Grid is based in Laguna Hills, CA, making it an excellent jumping-off point for many of Southern California’s most breathtaking spots, including Joshua Tree and Death Valley. If you’re looking for a slightly longer journey, you could make the trek up to Yosemite or over to the Grand Canyon. The point is, there’s no shortage of places to take a teardrop tent from Off The Grid Rentals.

Every new Game of Thrones spinoff explained

George R.R. Martin's television world continues to grow

Matt Smith starring in House of the Dragon

When it first aired on HBO in the early 2010s, Game of Thrones dazzled audiences with revolutionary special effects and terrific acting in a unique fantasy world. Based on author George R.R. Martin's series of novels, the universe depicts the battles between several different noble families as they try to climb to the top of the continent of Westeros, both politically and figuratively. The war scenes, family drama, and massive number of characters helped make the story feel fresh and new every time a new episode aired.

As Martin's attention shifted to television and away from his books, fans have looked to the TV series to finish some of the stories he couldn't finish on the page. Game of Thrones left fans wanting more, despite its poorly received finale, and a plethora of spinoffs are on the way. House of the Dragon already has two seasons completed, and there are several others in the coming years to look forward to.
House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon finished its second season in 2024. The show chronicles the heated family dynamics of the Targaryen empire almost two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. The third season should pick up the civil war between Queen Rhaenyra's forces and King Aegon's after a slow-building conflict throughout the second act.
