It's a great camper! Clean, organized and had everything we needed for a great weekend. Kody and Chanel were great, and took the time to walk through the set up and answered all our questions.

I thoroughly enjoyed renting the RV and working with Rick! He was fantastic to work with—when I had a small snag on my end, he was there at a moment’s notice to make sure everything was taken care of. Everything was exactly as advertised and very clean. Communication was always quick, clear, and thorough. The rest of my family camping at the same campground with me was a little jealous of my much roomier RV, and my grandsons were thrilled to spend the night with me—complete with popcorn in the theater seats while watching a movie on the TV. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother, easier transaction, and I will absolutely rent with Rick again!

We loved the Jucy Lucy!! My wife and I went to Roaring River state park for 4 incredible nights! Working with the owners was incredibly easy! Pickup and drop off super quick and again easy. They worked well with our times. The Jucy Lucy didn’t let us down once. Comfy bed, A/C on 100 degree days, private bathroom, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, propane stove and electric skillet. All of them worked great! If you are on the fence Get Off! This camper is amazing and we will definitely be renting it again!
