Hassle-Free Family Camping in a Lightweight Pop-UpAt about 1,800 lbs, fully equipped for camping, the JayThrush is light enough to be towed by many properly equipped SUVs and minivans. It uses a standard 4-pin trailer connection and does not require a brake controller, so if your vehicle has the appropriate tow rating, a hitch receiver and a working 4-pin plug, you may already have everything you need.If you’ve ever had a U-Haul trailer hitched to your current vehicle and been sent on your way, chances are you already have the hardware you need. You’ll just need to confirm your vehicle has enough towing capacity for the JayThrush. We’ll even supply the hitch!
But before we go much further, let’s be real: our mighty tent trailer is not winning any beauty contests.What it is good at is making family memories under the stars.It is a well-used 1989 Jayco Thrush that has spent more than 30 years doing exactly what it was built to do: taking families camping. And we love it for that.It is lightweight, dry, mechanically straightforward, and in good shape where it matters. It also has enough bumps, patches and history that you do not need to spend your weekend worrying about whether your kids touched something with muddy hands or added another little scuff.Inside, you get two queen sleeping areas plus a dinette that converts into a third bed. We think five adults is comfortable: two on each queen and one on the dinette. Six is workable, especially for families with kids, with three distinct sleeping spaces to spread everyone out.Why a pop-up?Our first family camping trip was in a big travel trailer at a fully serviced RV resort with power, water and sewer right at the site, along with a pool and movie nights for the kids. It was fantastic. The next season, we bought a similar hard-sided trailer.Then we started spending more time in Alberta Parks and Parks Canada campgrounds.Almost none of the places we use offer power, water and sewer hookups right at every campsite. More often, you get electricity if you are lucky, while potable water, washrooms, showers and sani-dumps are shared campground facilities.That changes what you actually need from the trailer.If you are staying at a fully serviced RV site, a larger hard-sided trailer will usually give you more amenities.If you are heading somewhere with power only, or no hookups at all, this little Jayco starts to make a lot more sense than spending your weekend worrying about how full your grey or black water tanks are.You still get real beds, a furnace, a fridge, lights and somewhere warm and dry to sit. You just do not need to tow around a full bathroom, shower, large water and waste tanks, and a bunch of systems that are less useful when the campground is already providing those facilities.One of the first places we took it was Miquelon Lake, where the kids came out under the dark sky and lit up seeing stars we simply cannot see from Edmonton.That is really what this trailer is for.Warm, Dry and Off the GroundThe JayThrush keeps the parts of tent camping we actually like.You still get canvas walls, big screened openings, fresh air and the sound of rain outside. But instead of sleeping on the ground, you get proper beds, shelter from bad weather and a furnace for those cold Alberta nights in the shoulder seasons.The fridge and furnace can operate on propane. At an electrified campsite, the trailer plugs into regular campsite power. The lights also operate from the trailer’s 12V system when you’re camping without electricity.The trailer does have a small fresh-water tank with a hand-pump sink, plus a city-water connection when available. There is no onboard grey-water tank; sink water must be collected/disposed of according to campground rules.We Keep the Cooking OutsideWe provide an outdoor Coleman stove and the equipment needed to connect it to a conventional propane cylinder.That is partly because cooking outside is nicer and partly because pretty much all of Alberta is some form of bear country. We would rather not turn the place where you, or we, sleep into an advertisement for bacon.The trailer carries a 20 lb propane cylinder, and a smaller 5 lb cylinder can also be added to your trip for cooking, if that suits your trip better.Inside, there is a dinette for eating, cards, games, reading, hiding from the rain and the other important business of camping.We also provide a cordless vacuum for dealing with the inevitable crumb situation that kids and camping seem determined to create in every sleeping area.Bring Food and BeddingThe goal is to make getting away easy.We provide the basic cookware, dishes, utensils, chairs and campsite equipment you need. Bring your food, clothes and bedding and go camping.Do not own sleeping bags, or just do not want to pack them? We rent clean single and double sleeping bags for $10 per bag per trip, with any combination available up to six. They are cleaned after every rental.Setup Is a Process, Not a TestThis is a folding trailer. It takes more effort to set up than a hard-sided travel trailer, but less than most family tents.We walk you through everything before you leave. We will put the trailer up, pull out the beds and pack it back down with you in real time, if you have the time and patience for the full lesson. We also provide short videos for the parts that are much easier to understand when you actually see somebody do them.Once you know the sequence, it is straightforward.Our tent trailer is not trying to be a luxury RV. For us, that is the point.It is trying to be much nicer than sleeping in a tent, much lighter than towing a full travel trailer, and exactly enough camper for the provincial and national park sites where we spend most of our time.It has been used. It has been loved. We expect you to use it too, and we hope you love the time you spend doing it.Cosa è incluso* Two queen sleeping areas plus a dinette that converts into a third bed

Wabamun Lake is another easy choice, with both powered and unserviced sites, a beach, playground, showers and easy access to the lake.For a slightly longer getaway, look at Long Lake, Pembina River, Pigeon Lake, Miquelon Lake and Wabamun. These are the kinds of trips where a small pop-up shines: enough camper to stay warm and dry without dragging an entire house behind you.Heading toward the mountains: Banff was booked six months before you remembered summer existed, check Bow Valley Provincial Park. Bow River Campground is only about 5 km east of Canmore and has powered sites, showers and flush toilets, while the broader Bow Valley park system gives you several other camping options nearby.In other words, do not assume “Banff is full” means “we cannot go to the mountains.” Bow Valley is often the place worth checking before abandoning the idea entirely.Jasper: book Whistlers or Wapiti if you can, but Jasper does have several smaller non-reservable campgrounds as well. Parks Canada specifically notes that these can provide flexibility, though they can fill quickly.If Jasper itself is packed, look west around Hinton and William A. Switzer Provincial Park. Gregg Lake, for example, has powered sites, showers, flush toilets and a sani-dump, making it a very practical base for exploring the foothills and making day trips toward Jasper.The general trick with Alberta camping is simple: book the place you can get, then explore from there. Some of our best trips started because the obvious campground was full.Altre cose di cui prendere notaNo smoking or vaping inside the trailer or under the canvas.No cooking inside. We provide an outdoor stove because cooking outdoors keeps grease, food smells and crumbs out of the sleeping space and is simply better practice in bear country.You are welcome to eat at the indoor dinette. If you do, please vacuum the cushions, floor and surrounding area afterward. We provide the vacuum specifically for this. Food residue in a tent trailer is not just messy. In bear country, it is a safety issue for you and your family.Please store food, garbage, pet food and scented items appropriately whenever you are away from the campsite or sleeping. Follow all campground bear-safety rules.Do not use the stabilizers to lift or level the trailer. They are there to stabilize it after it has been levelled and the wheels have been chocked.We will show you how to set up and pack down the trailer before you leave. There are a few old-school mechanisms that make perfect sense once you have seen them once and make considerably less sense when described in writing by someone who assumes you were born knowing how a pop-up works.Please return it reasonably clean, dry and packed the way we showed you.

In bear country, it is a safety issue for you and your family.Please store food, garbage, pet food and scented items appropriately whenever you are away from the campsite or sleeping. Follow all campground bear-safety rules.Do not use the stabilizers to lift or level the trailer. They are there to stabilize it after it has been levelled and the wheels have been chocked.We will show you how to set up and pack down the trailer before you leave. There are a few old-school mechanisms that make perfect sense once you have seen them once and make considerably less sense when described in writing by someone who assumes you were born knowing how a pop-up works.Please return it reasonably clean, dry and packed the way we showed you.

Prezzi e policy
This is a family tent trailer. Please treat it well and follow these rules throughout your trip:
* No smoking or vaping inside the trailer or under the canvas. A minimum $250 cleaning/deodorizing fee will apply, plus any actual remediation or replacement costs if higher.
* No cooking inside the trailer. Use the outdoor stove provided. If indoor cooking creates grease, odour, staining or additional cleaning, a minimum $100 cleaning fee may apply, plus actual remediation costs if higher.
* Follow all campground and park bear-safety rules. Food, garbage, pet food and scented items must be stored appropriately. Do not leave food or garbage unattended in or around the trailer.
* Vacuum after eating inside. We provide a cordless vacuum. Please remove crumbs and food debris from the dinette, cushions and floor.
* No candles or other open-flame appliances inside. Use only the installed furnace for heat.
* Turn propane off before towing.
* Nobody may ride inside the trailer while it is being towed.
* Chock the wheels before setup and deploy the stabilizers before using the beds. Stabilizers are for stability only and must not be used to lift or level the trailer.
* Follow the setup and takedown sequence we show you. Never force the roof, door, bed supports, stabilizers or hitch. If something is not moving normally, stop and contact us.
* Do not tow with the roof raised, beds extended, door deployed or stabilizers down.
* If the canvas is wet when packed up, tell us when you return it so we can reopen and dry it promptly.
* Return the trailer reasonably clean and with all supplied equipment accounted for. Excessive cleaning or missing/damaged equipment may be charged at the actual cost of cleaning, repair or replacement.
If anything smells like propane, sparks, overheats or otherwise seems unsafe, stop using that system immediately and contact us.

Domande frequenti
Q.
What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
We do our best to accommodate early and late pick ups where possible, and it is entirely schedule dependent. Often a later drop off is available as long as the trailer is not going out in the next day. We can confirm that for you. Earlier pick ups can be more challenging, but we’re open to offering a discounted additional date being added to your trip to pick up the even before, where that is helpful. Happy to discuss your trip with you in advance of booking.
Q.
Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the RV easily?
A.
A tent trailer this old does have special tricks and tips that come with set up, and a well established personality. We will run you through all the tips and tricks through a live demonstration, and videos of all the systems working as they should so there are no surprises when you arrive at your campsite. We make ourselves available to guests who have questions as well. I like to tell people it is easier than a tent, and we make that as true as possible before you leave!
Q.
Why rent this instead of a hard-sided RV?
A.
If you are staying at a fully serviced RV site, a larger trailer may offer more amenities. But at the provincial and national park sites we use most often, where power may be available but water and sewer hookups are not, this pop-up gives you the things that matter most: real beds, heat, refrigeration and shelter without the extra weight and tank management.
Q.
Do I need a powered campsite?
A.
No. Power is convenient, but it is not required. The fridge and furnace run on propane, and the lights operate from the trailer’s 12V system. At an electrified site, you can plug into regular campsite power and make things even simpler. This is exactly why the trailer works so well in Alberta Parks and Parks Canada campgrounds.
