The simple reason Rice renovates tent trailers is that they are light, and just about all her car can tow home.
Usually, tent trailers have a double bed, a dinette that often turns into another bed, a stove, fridge, and sink. Some have toilets and showers, too. Their sizes vary, but they're usually quite compact and easy to store when collapsed, and they pop out to reveal a larger space.
Rice said she loves the feel of a tent trailer because they have screens all around that make it seem like you're outside, which is what most people want from camping trips.
Rice adds that they're easy to store and that they can double as extra office space, a playroom, or a school area for kids.
"If you want to get into RVs, tent trailers are a great way to start," she said, adding that her family had a tent trailer growing up, though most of her childhood camping involved sleeping in a tent.
"I've always loved camping and I love being outside. So [tent trailers] seemed like a good fit," she said. "I always liked the idea of having a bed, something a little nicer than sleeping on the ground."
