July, 2025

RV was designed with every possible space being utilized efficiently for ample storage of everything you need to make for a great trip. Plenty of outlets for all your charging electronic needs and drives like a dream and gets great gas mileage. The sleeping pads were surprisingly, very comfortable! Kristina, our host, was so easy to work with, and wonderful about responding to any questions that we had. The pick up and drop off process was seamless and quick and she gave us a thorough overview about the entire van. Can’t wait for our next trip so that we can book this RV again!

We had a great time with the RV—it was our first experience both driving and vacationing in one! We traveled to McCloud, CA near Mt. Shasta to visit family. Fred gave us a detailed and patient walkthrough of how everything worked before we left, which was incredibly helpful. During our trip, we had a couple of questions, and he responded quickly and kindly each time. The RV was in excellent condition and easy to drive.
