In this stressful mundane world, it has always been a calming adventure for me to just pack a tent and head off to the outdoors with family or friends.
Spending quality time, looking up at the starry night sky or listening to the soft patter of rain on the canvas with those your heart holds dear, is a blessing all of us that enjoy tent camping are familiar with.
Tent camping is truly an experience for the soul and even with the increased pressures on the family budget, it is still the most affordable way of enjoying the many wonders that this beautiful Country has to offer.
As idyllic as this might sound, it is also a reality that with tent camping comes the need for all the small necessities that makes the experience comfortable, and convinces Mom to join the next trip to the outdoors.
I am sure that all of you are very familiar with the saying "If Mom's happy, everyone's happy!" When we made the decision to invest in a small fuel efficient vehicle, it brought our outdoor camping to an abrupt stop - we no longer had the comfort and storage capacity of a large Sports Utility Vehicle.
Although we are very happy with the decision we made on the vehicles, we simply could not fit all the things we wanted to take along into the little available space.
We tried various solutions to this problem.
A box trailer was too large and to heavy for the sedan, a roof carrier was just a hassle and could not accommodate much anyway.
Same can be said for the hitch rack that just didn't look right and could only carry very little weight.
Out of this dilemma came the concept of the Companion Trailer.
It had to be small and aerodynamic enough to be towed comfortably and safely by all vehicles on the road today.
It had to allow for the safe, dry storage of equipment and above all, be a quality, USA-made product that looked good behind the vehicles of all concerning users.
Soon our first trailer became exactly what the name implied - a constant Companion to our camping adventures.
It is a breeze to hitch and tow without effort.
It can be loaded to the top and have ample space for our needs.
By being able to unhitch it and push it to the campsite, our Companion Trailer soon become the center of activity and the only piece of luxury that we are not prepared to go without.
Once unloaded the trailer serves as a safe storage space for clothes, food, cooking utensils and whatever you need to keep dry or out of reach from the local community - 2 or 4 legged kinds! On our own camping experiences we would always think of ways to improve the journey.
Therefore your Companion Trailer today comes with a wide range of accessories; roof racks to haul bicycles or kayaks.
Hitch adaptors for your favorite grill and my personal favorite - a rooftop Tent!
