We rented from Vacations in a Can, in Cali, and that convinced us to buy a TD.
Once you have decided you don't need a private bathroom, shower, living room, the only question is whether you are comfortable sleeping in it, IMO.
and they will tow it to a nearby park (Bodega Dunes) which is a great place for a weekend stay, so you don't have to go to the trouble to tow it, which is, frankly, a no-brainer with this sort of camper.
Bodega Dunes is a GREAT spot for a weekend. Come on down!! There is good clam chowder in town, very nice hiking in beautiful dunes, to the beach. And there is nice country nearby for sightseeing, wine country, etc. Come down to the Bay Area for a week, and do the TD rental for a couple of days?
