We LOVED our time with Chewie! He had everything we needed, was super cozy, and handled super nice for an older vehicle! We took him to Big Sur and had a blast even in 2 days of rain! Anthony was super helpful and kind, responded promptly to our messages when we needed help with anything! Will be booking again!! 😄

We had a good time in Wenda's truck camper. We were grateful for the instructional video, and felt that most things were straightforward in the RV. Pickup and dropoff were very straightforward, and Wenda was super helpful and responsive. To note, the camper is small and would feel especially cramped with three people, particularly in winter months when you can make less use of outdoor space. Overall a great option for short trips.

Kim was amazing and very communicative! The van itself was also very comfortable and well thought out. Would recommend and will use again!
