Anthony was quick to reply. He had upgraded the trailer with Lithium batteries and we were able to camp 5 days with no electric. A great trailer to boondock in. The trailer was super clean, and furnished with the basics you might need. We had no issues with the Jayco and would rent again.

Carter was professional and timely. He helped us hook up and unhook upon returning. He walked us through all the features of the trailer so we could have the best experience. My wife and I would rent again from him!

We thoroughly enjoyed the RV and especially the delivery/pickup service. The RV itself was generously equipped, had a great layout, was clean and in good shape. But arriving at our site and it already being setup for us was the cherry on top. The couple we rented from were just lovely. Would highly recommend and do it again.
