About Lindsey Mast

My name is Lindsey and my wife is Bertha. We have 4 girls and one boy (ages 6-16). We are a Christian family. I am very involved at Van's Aircraft, Inc. where I've worked for the last 22 years. (the world-leader in home-built aircraft) We purchased Chili Spice last Spring and made big plans to live in it for 4 weeks and 7,000 miles! In June/July, 2022, the 7 of us loaded up and went to Oklahoma/Arkansas/Missouri/S.Carolina/Virginia/Pennsylvania -- those were our main stops 😀 We traveled for 4 weeks and could have done another four! It was a bit tight quarters for all of us, but we got it figured out and really enjoyed it. It was so much fun to be able to fire up the generator and have a fresh cup of coffee to sip while driving down the interstate -- or microwave popcorn for a favorite snack for my boy. Not to mention, having a functional bathroom anytime (as long as someone else wasn't already using it 😉) One of my favorite things was driving PAST rest areas! We were surprised how good time we made because we could just keep going and didn't have to stop for food or bathrooms every hour or two. Renting it out part time is the only real way we can justify keeping this long-term. I'm excited to do so! She only has 35k miles on her and a lot of good times still coming! It drives absolutely fantastic. Being 32' long is the perfect length. It turns fairly short and FITS nicely in two normal car spaces at the backside of any WalMart or other big parking lot.

Our host is amazing, he made sure to go through everything with me about the rv, including a couple of issues that it has. Nothing major. The rv performed very well and was comfortable.
It does need a few items repaired, and cosmetically it is less than perfect.
Overall it was a great rv and we really enjoyed our trip.

1 leveling jack was missing, stereo has no Bluetooth, only cd and radio, which was never not fuzzy. Found dozens of spiders and ants throughout the rv. The Led lightning on exterior doesn’t work as listed, inside led requires you to bring your own usb power source for it to work. The toilet seal is broken so the RV smells of the black tank “sewer “ at all times because it doesn’t hold a water level in the toilet. The seats are fairly uncomfortable, the electric adjustable mirrors don’t work and the awning drips water from the underneath when the AC is on. The roof access ladder bottom access is zip tied on so if you wanted a roof top photo you need to bring your own zip ties to hold it back up. The hot water heater works well, but had to tap the regulator to get it to work once. The owner explained a few of the issues, but only after paying for it and arrival to pick it up. My suggestion is that if you are not very mechanically and electrically knowledgeable, I would never rent this RV.

Lindsey’s answer

This is interesting...
Both Terence and Greg (other review) went to the exact location only 2 weeks apart!
I will explain a bit - this motorhome is a 2005 model. If you are expecting perfection, please look elsewhere.
The leveling jack was a real problem that I was in the midst of figuring out.
Bluetooth was not a thing in 2005 and the CD player has not been updated but played CDs clearly last I knew and also has a simple remote control! It plays either in the bedroom or up front or both.
We have had a few ants here and there I'm sorry if you found "dozens". This will be checked into.
We did have some issue with the outside lighting where only a few colors worked well. A few colors worked well.
Inside LED is a bonus, works best from power bank or if plugged in to shore power with supplied USB extension cord.
These kind of toilets do not hold water in the bowl, but I will investigate the smell.
The "uncomfortable" seats are from 2005 and are not leather, but other wise as they made them. I think they are very comfortable, but the vehicles I drive are older than 2005.
The adjustable mirrors have been working, but I will check that out as well.
The awning was rolled up backwards and perhaps that had to do with the drip, but will check this out.
I zip tied the ladder so it would not rattle in the breeze. Also access to the roof is not recommended.
The water heater is being fixed and I explained what to do if it turned off.
I'm sorry Terence that your experience was sub-par.

Went to gorge amphitheater in Washington from Silverton. RV drove beautifully and tire and brakes were perfect. Drives nicely. AC was great in the 100 degree weather. Shower works great. Food stayed cold fridge works while driving
Very comfortable. Lots of storage and big canopy. Easy going host does a thorough walk through so you know pretty much everything you need to know. Can't wait to do it again! It was awesome!

Very good experience with the owner and rv. Made it all the way across the country and back. Owner was very responsive and kind with any questions. Rv is comfortable and amenities were great.
