We (my boyfriend and I) had a great trip with this RV. Coming from Europe (and being used to compact cars), we wanted to drive a compact RV while still having enough space to live comfortably from the RV for two weeks. This RV was exactly that! The back extends to provide more room inside, while still being compact when you're on the road. Dry camping (without hookup to water and electricity) is possible for 1 or 2 nights maximum, after which the fresh water tank will likely be depleted. Also, the heater makes quite some noise, so if you're camping during cold months, you will hear it switch on in the night sometimes. The RV drives smoothly. Christopher is a great guy who takes the time to explain everything to you, is kind and communicates easily.

The RV was very nice. But it’s designed for summer. There is minimal storage space, especially if you plan to go skiing.
The inverter would not work, so we had no access to outlets.
There was a massive crack in the windshield when we picked the vehicle up, which we watched spread during our trip.
The brake light sensor was faulty, meaning we had to troubleshoot the problem to get the vehicle out of park.
The van is only 2wd, which wasn’t great in Lake Louise during the winter.
Once it was communicated to us the heat worked flawlessly, unfortunately that was on day two.
Rusk did a great job communicating with Chris (the owner) as he was out of the country. We really appreciated his willingness to support throughout our trip.
We’d rent it again, just not in the wintertime.

Great RV. Really enjoyed. Chris is very helpful and described all the processes very clearly. Definitely going to rent it again.

Chris was very responsive to correspondence and accommodated our wishes for pick-up time. The van had some damages which he was careful to show us and document on our pre-trip inspection. The vehicle was very comfortable to drive, and the diesel engine excellent on the highway. It was our first experience in a camper van, and we were impressed with how much Mercedes has packed into such a small space. The on-board shower and flush toilet were great. Fridge was an impressive size for a van, good freezer too. The rear-extension pull-out for the bed was easy to use and added important space for the night. The entertainment system on board was not operational, but was not important to us because we had our own phones and news/movie aps to use. We did not need to use the generator, but it is available if needed and Chris does not charge for it like the web site says. Rental price was very competitive at $130 per day. But the insurance is expensive - add about $50 per day. Also, mileage charges add up if you are travelling more than 100 miles per day. All in all, a positive experience.

We were first time users of an RV and Outdoorsy. The Roadtrek was the perfect choice for us. Easy to set up and to drive. Chris responded quickly to all messages and gave us a useful orientation. We had our misgivings about the bed (my husband 6ft 4in tall) but once we got the hang of the setup, found it was quite comfy and we both fit!
