HappyNest x Indie Campers: Powering Scalable Laundry Operations for a Growing Travel Brand

EAST GREENWICH, R.I. — February 11th, 2026 — If you operate a business that depends on clean, ready-to-use linens to deliver a great customer experience, you already know that laundry can be far more than a routine task — it’s a significant logistical challenge. Beyond turnaround time, in-house laundry impacts labor allocation, equipment maintenance, utility costs, storage space, and management oversight. What may begin as a practical solution can quickly become a hidden drain on resources, especially during peak demand periods or periods of growth. For travel and hospitality brands like Indie Campers, that is a vivid reality.

Indie Campers is one of the world’s leading camper van rental platforms, offering travelers the freedom of the open road with the comfort of a mobile lodging experience. Each van functions as a small hotel room on wheels, meaning each reservation requires fresh bedding, towels, and other essential linens ready for the next guest. Managing that internally across multiple markets would require significant investment in equipment, labor, utilities, and facility space. Instead, Indie Campers partners with HappyNest to handle their commercial laundry operations in the U.S.

Turning Laundry into a Scalable System

By utilizing HappyNest to outsource their linens, Indie Campers avoids the need to:

• Purchase and maintain commercial laundry equipment
• Manage water, gas, and electricity costs tied to in-house processing
• Hire and schedule staff dedicated solely to laundry operations
• Allocate valuable space for washing, drying, and linen storage

Instead, what they receive is scheduled pickups with professional processing and reliable returns — creating a streamlined system that supports fast turnarounds without adding too many operational complications. For a business where its availability directly affects its revenue, reducing any sort of friction in this process is imperative.

So far, we’ve supported Indie Campers across 13 active locations, completed 1,500+ pickups, and processed over 212,000+ pounds of laundry for their fleet. That’s a whole lot of sheets, towels, and travel-ready comfort going back on the road. From desert highways to coastal drives to mountain escapes, we’re helping keep the comfort side of the journey covered.

Why This Partnership Works

Outsourcing laundry is more than a convenience decision — it directly impacts revenue. When linen turnover delays prevent a unit from being guest-ready, that’s a missed booking. When equipment failures disrupt operations, occupancy suffers. When inconsistent cleanliness leads to lower ratings, it directly impacts future demand and pricing power.

Partnering with HappyNest helps Indie Campers control costs while ensuring linens meet consistent cleanliness and timeliness. Laundry may happen behind the scenes, but its impact is highly visible at the forefront.

Supporting Growth of All Kinds

As Indie Campers expands into new markets, HappyNest scales alongside them. That flexibility allows Indie Campers to focus on growing their fleet and guest experience without building new internal infrastructure for each serviced location.

For business owners evaluating how to handle laundry at scale, this partnership highlights how outsourcing an essential function can improve efficiency, reduce overhead, and support consistent service delivery — all while keeping operations flexible and ready for growth.
