2020 Heartland Prowler 320BH

36 ft travel trailer · Sleeps 10–11 · Dual slide-outs

The kids get their own bunkhouse with three bunks. You get a real queen bed behind a real door. And when the whole crew piles in, the convertible dinette and fold-out sofa pick up the slack. Two A/C units keep it cool in an Alabama July, and the electric fireplace makes it cozy on a fall night at the races.

Our Story

From Sleeping Bags to Darcy

Hello, we're JP & Joy! Long before Hooking and Booking existed, we were simply a mom and dad raising five girls who loved to camp. And when we say camping, you should probably know we may have invented glamping before glamping was even a thing. We started with sleeping bags on the ground. Then came air mattresses. Then cots. Before long we had fans for the heat, heaters for the cold, and enough stuff packed into those tents to make you wonder if we were camping or moving in.

After years of setting up camp for a wife, five girls, and the pets, JP finally decided he was DONE setting all that up. We were buying a camper. That's how Charisse, our very first camper, joined the family. We still had everything we loved (the campfires, the late nights, the laughter, the uninterrupted family time), but getting there looked a whole lot different.

Years later came Darcy, and Darcy was the beginning of Hooking and Booking RV Rentals. The truth is, not everyone can or wants to buy a camper. That shouldn't mean they can't experience it. These days you'll find Darcy listed below as The Prowler, but whatever you call her, the memories made inside her belong to you.

"You're not just booking a camper. You're booking the opportunity to make memories."

Meet the Family Behind the Family Business

JP

The teacher and the problem-solver. JP patiently taught Joy everything that once seemed intimidating about owning a camper, and turned the idea of renting Darcy into something the whole family could build together.

Joy

The day-to-day heart of the operation: cleaning, delivering, setting up, picking up. Joy loves meeting the families, race fans, reunion crews, tailgaters and adventurers who come through.

The five Plumb girls: Belle, Bayley, HP, Meg and Bray

Belle, Bayley, HP, Meg & Bray

Five girls raised around a campfire: three married college grads, two still in college, all of them still jumping in when life allows. Our youngest, Bray, helped come up with the name Hooking and Booking.

The Fur Babies

We're animal people, and we know some trips just aren't complete without a few paws along. That's why your small dogs are always welcome aboard ($50 pet fee).

Friends and family gathered under the camper awning

How Weekends Should Look

Chairs in a circle, kids on bikes until dark, and nobody in a hurry to leave. This is what we're really renting out.

Family First. Memories Always.

When we prepare the camper for your trip, we think like a family packing for our own vacation: What would we want to have? What would make things easier? What little thing might somebody forget? What would make it feel like home? Because this has never been about handing someone the keys to a camper. It's about:

The family reunion The weekend at the racetrack The football tailgate Kids outside until dark The dog curled up after a long day The stories your family tells for years

From our family to yours, we're blessed to be a little part of them.

The Whole Family Camps.
Nobody Lifts a Finger.
