Where to Go
Explore all that California has to offer. From beaches to mountains and everything in between, you can do it all.
We encourage first-timers to take the silver trailer to an RV park or campground where it can be hooked up to utilities and provide the basic functions of home. Experienced travelers seeking more remote destinations can rely on the trailer’s onboard power, water, and tanks.
