Shea was fantastic to deal with right from the start and even better in person. I picked up the trailer at his residence and was on my way after a thorough walk through. Unfortunately my truck had a major failure and I called Shea to see if he could tow the trailer back to his place a day early. He graciously said it wasn’t an issue and showed up on time to pick up the RV. The RV its self was great, clean and well furnished with everything we needed. THANK YOU Shea!!
