With other tools, you can rent a place to stay for your weekend getaway. With Trailermade, you can plan a unique mobile adventure. Our “Stay” option allows you to book a unit in a cool, fixed location, such as a vintage Airstream by some killer local surf. But our “Play” option takes things even further by giving you the opportunity to take your adventure on the road. You can rent a Westfalia to drive or a Shasta to pull and camp out, say on a tour of all the hidden climbing spots between Joshua Tree and Yosemite. Or, if you already have your own rig set up just how you like it, you can choose our “Park It” option to find a quiet, intimate spot to camp out within striking distance of your next first ascent. Beyond the function, Trailermade is building community. We are travelers, artists, and adventurers, committed to help you make the most of your foray into the mobile life.
