Made in Colorado, these new school teardrop campers provide the nostalgia and convenience of the originals. While they lack bathrooms and the ability to fully standup inside, they are among the easiest to tow. Most sedans with a hookup will be able to tow the sub 1000 pound teardrops. They come in a variety of models, ranging in size and amenities, as well as off road capabilities.

While Colorado Teardrop doesn’t rent their models directly, they will put you in touch with someone who does. You can view some local teardrop rentals on their website, with several Coloradans off-setting their ownership cost by renting. Most rentals go through the aforementioned Outdoorsy. To tow all automobiles require a 2″ ball hitch on vehicle, a 4 or 7 pin connector on vehicle, as well as the towing capacity.

5. B&B RV Rentals

Founded in 1999, B&B RV is one of the biggest single-location RV rental dealers in the United States. You’re assured a recent upscale model and reliable service from this local Denver company. Every season or two they replace retired units with brand new ones, selling off the old models. So if you like what you rent, you can consider buying something like it for a fair price later.

Established in 1972, Cruise America provides more than 130 nationwide RV rental centers, from California to Virginia, and even Canada. There are 3 locations in Colorado: Denver, Littleton and Colorado Springs. All three of them open Monday to Saturday, closed Sunday. What’s cool about this is that most rental centers allow one-way reservations in advance, with some restrictions. So you can pick it up in Colorado and drop it off in California!

They feature four models of RV rentals: Large RV, Standard RV, Compact RV and Truck Camper. The largest model has a maximum capacity of 7, so you should be good fitting the whole family or crew of friends.

What to Consider When Renting an RV or Trailer?

There are certain limitations you should consider when picking between an RV, travel trailer or camper. First plan where you’re going and what campground amenities you will need.

When camping in Colorado there are both developed and free primitive sites. The former can have full hook-ups for water, electric and sewer, the latter just a fire ring. Some campgrounds take reservations, which is especially recommended during peak summer season in the high country. It’s always good to have a Plan B or C if arriving first-come, first-serve.

Make sure you can handle driving an RV, they come in a range of sizes. Pick one that’s appropriate. If you’re electing to pull a travel trailer, make sure your automobile has the towing capacity. Rest assured even with a sedan like a Subaru Outback, you can still rent a lightweight camper, like a teardrop trailer.

Before you head out from the rental place, make sure you get a thorough rundown of how your RV/travel trailer operates from the owner. Some of the amenities that RVs and larger campers can come with:

  • Oven, microwave
  • Water filter
  • Water heater
  • A/C
  • Bathroom
  • Awning
  • Refrigerator
  • Fire extinguisher
  • Kitchen area
  • Furnace
  • TV
  • Bike rack
  • External cooking stove
  • Bed(s)
  • Toilet
  • Couch/Lounge

A campers paradise, the Rocky Mountains encompass the western half of the state, creating some of the best campsites in the country.  Colorado’s probably one of the best states for a camping road trip. You’re pretty much guaranteed a wild west adventure if you simply drive west to the mountains from Denver.

There are striking landmarks, steep canyons, lush woods and snowcapped peaks waiting to be explored. You’re sure to see more with your own wheels than public transportation, and with a house on-board you’ll be able to make home nearly anywhere. It’s really quite glamorous traveling with a portable refrigerator.

Staring at a starlit Colorado sky by the campfire is a pastime everyone should have the opportunity to try. So even if tent camping is not for you, consider glamping it by renting an RV or travel trailer in Denver!
