Recent RV rental reviews in Tonto National Forest

Working with Scottsdale RV Life and directly with Chris was nothing short of a full concierge RV experience. Chris has exceptional communication skills. He is highly responsive, and his ability to provide clear concise answers was invaluable to us as first-time RV renters. This level of service is not often experienced in any industry. We rented the Grech Class B and loved it. We felt prepared and ready for an adventure. It had all the conveniences of home. Chris did a thorough job of explaining how to use the systems and the technology. We traveled with comfort and confidence. We are already planning our next adventure and will work with Chris.
