About Derek Boddy

I am a father, climber, and aspiring skater, usually in that order and master of none. ;) I am a proud father of three kids and one dog. For the longest time I was a tent camper and anti RVs. However, after trying some out, I have fallen in love with this Taxa Habitat. We are a family of rock climbers and enjoy the quick weekend getaways, as well as, the extended stays. This camper has provided us with some additional comforts and conveniences to make our trips even more memorable and enjoyable, while still loving minimalism camping. While we get out as much as we can, I hate to see our camper sit not in use. Therefore, I am excited to share and help others get out and explore or help others to try out a simple, but yet incredible RV, as we did. Chase that crux!

A fantastic camper for our family for southern Utah. Easy pick-up and drop-off. The host helped explain all the parts of the trailer, and included many extras that made our trip easier. Simple 'hacks' like a paper towel holder and bed curtains naturally fit our family's rhythm.

Derek was a great host. He was very communicative about pre trip planning and super helpful. The Mantis is really nice and has everything you need. Including some nice special touches like hot sauce, and a mattress topper. We took it for a week of winter camping in the desert with our toddler. We were all really warm and comfortable. If you are renting in winter make sure to include the solar panels. It was a wonderful adventure and Derek really made it easier for us. Thanks!

We had a great experience with derricks mantis trailer! It was very well stocked and extremely well organized. The trailer itself is incredibly user-friendly and slept two adults and a large teenager nicely.
