1986 Taurus Cadet
Welcome to the Elwood. This cozy, fiberglass trailer has a fridge, microwave, 12V fan, double USB and 12V charging port, bluetooth speaker/radio, queen bed with memory foam topper, bench/single bed (suitable for young child), lots of outlets and loads of storage. The roof pops up for extra ventilation, natural light and head room.
Trailer is just over 6 feet wide, 13 feet long and weighs 690kg fully loaded. It is tiny but packs everything you need and you don't need a large vehicle to tow it! Hitch requires a 1 7/8 inch receiver ball (renter to provide). The hitch is 13" off the ground in level position, so if your vehicle has a high bumper (eg. Jeep, truck) you will need a step-down receiver to tow the trailer (if in doubt just ask me!)
Book an electrical site if you want to plug in and run all the outlets and appliances. On a non-electrical site you will not have use of the microwave and fridge but a fully charged battery will run the lights, fan and USB and 12V charger.
Interesting facts.... These trailers were originally made in Poland and a small number were imported and assembled by Nical Trailers in Canada. They are still manufactured in Poland (Niewiadow N126) and in the UK (Freedom caravan)
What's includedThe trailer comes stocked with two camping chairs, awning, screened dining tent, hammock, propane camping stove (1-small green propane tank provided (16oz/1lb)), water jug, outdoor folding table, coffee maker, set of plates, bowls, cups and cutlery for 4, mugs, pots and pans, campfire grill, dishwashing bin, flashlights, marshmallow roasting sticks, games, hose and nozzle for hook up to water at the site, dish soap, tinfoil, salt/pepper, coffee, tea and sugar. All you need to bring: linens/blankets and pillows, towels, food and smiles!
RecommendationsThere are lots of great places to camp near Guelph some of my favourite GRCA campgrounds are:
*Elora Gorge-great trails, amazing views and tubing down the Grand River! https://www.grandriver.ca/en/outdoor-recreation/Elora-Gorge.aspx
*Rockwood- limestone cliffs, caves and glacial potholes, great trails and great for kayaking or canoeing.
https://www.grandriver.ca/en/outdoor-recreation/Rockwood.aspx*Looking for a great base point to explore all that the Kitchener, Cambridge and Guelph area has to offer? Bingeman's gives you all that and a waterpark too!

What an amazing little trailer! We had the best time! Had some rail but we stayed nice and dry inside, and had everything we needed during the trip included in the trailer to really make everything so convenient. Will definitely rent again!

We had a great experience with the trailer. Everything to the last detail is well thought of and you will notice it in of the corners of the trailer.
Katherine was very approachable and helpful in getting set as well as coming back.

Kathy was a wonderful host! We loved her little retro trailer.
Communication was great, both before and during our trip. There were some really neat features that we enjoyed - the little lantern with the fair lights, and the extras in the form of games that our grandchildren enjoyed.
The bed was especially comfortable and we loved how everything was colour coordinated and modernized to accommodate plugging in my battery charger and phone chargers. Her booklet that explains everything was extremely helpful as well. Such a wonderful experience!!

This trailer is the absolute best. The second time I have rented it and it was the same experience. Everything you need all in one place. Doesn't smell, super clean, bed is extremely comfortable and it is so organized! We group camp and all my friends just love this little trailer. Thank you Katherine for this opportunity.

We had a fantastic time with this little trailer! There were so many thoughtful touches and it came prepared with everything we needed. I seriously was able to put my camp packing list away and just brought our food, clothes, and bedding. The fan inside was wonderful and kept us comfortable throughout the night, the fridge, microwave, and lights all worked perfectly, and the bed was super comfy (the bed is a little on the short side but my husband and I were just able to fit at 6'0 and 5'10").
Have a question?Get answers directly from the host
Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
Flexibility of pick up and drop off will depend on if there are previous bookings...just ask and we can figure out the best timing to work for both of us.
Q.What size of receiver ball is required and do you provide it?
A.
To tow the trailer you will require a 1 and 7/8" receiver ball. I do not provide one but they are readily available at Canadian Tire, Walmart or Amazon.
In the level (towing) position, the trailer hitch is approx 13" off the ground. Many vehicles such as Jeeps, pick- up trucks and some other SUVs have a very high back bumper and without a step down receiver, the trailer sits at too much of an angle sof safe towing. Please just ask if you are unsure.
