How Two Happy Campers evolved into full-time travel with their Four Wheel Camper
Published Date: January 22, 2025 By FWC AdminKnown online as Two Happy Campers, we’re Mark & Michele, photographers and full-time nomads for the past five years. Our story starts back in 2012 when we bought our Four Wheel Camper Hawk shell. We fell hard and fast in love with our camper that year and living on the road full-time quickly became a dream that we couldn’t shake. While we didn’t waste any time chasing that dream, it took a lot of trial and error to strike the perfect balance between comfort and adventure. At the time we had the belief that there was no way we would want to try and downsize from a house to just the truck camper for full-time living. Thus began our goldilocks Read More…

Four Wheel Campers Hosts Donner Lake Volunteer Event with Clean Up The Lake
Published Date: September 7, 2024 By FWC AdminIn 2021, Four Wheel Campers began exploring new ways to engage our community and strengthen our environmental impact. With a vision to expand beyond the popular owners’ rallies, I proposed a volunteer events program that would bring outdoor enthusiasts together in a meaningful way. The goal was to create opportunities for participants to connect, learn, and enjoy nature, all while supporting reputable environmental nonprofits. These events would be modeled after the rallies, offering camping, food and beverages to make the experience as rewarding as the work.

Campsite Sense: Tips & Tricks for Choosing the Perfect Campsite
Published Date: June 13, 2024 By FWC AdminBy Gary & Gretchen Matos Our return trip home from Southern California started in darkness. We wanted to outrun the traffic of Los Angeles and the atmospheric river of rain that was threatening to slow us down. We misjudged on one account which made me think of Jerry Jeff Walker’s ‘LA Freeway’ song. We just wanted to get out alive! A river of cars were already flowing at 5am but we prevailed. By early afternoon we landed at El Capitan State Beach – one of few campgrounds that had not closed due to flooding. We were looking forward to stretching our legs, having an early happy hour and getting in a short nap – and not necessarily in that order! While driving the Read More…
