My wife and I were the four of us experiencing a RV for the first time, my wife found this RV on Rednote Our first experience was fantastic! The vehicle was in excellent condition, very new, and fully equipped. All the amenities inside were provided. The owner was also very friendly and patiently explained everything to us. It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely choose this RV again. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience a RV.

Chariot is just the best. Charlotte was so easy to work with and available when things came up or had questions. All instructions were easy to follow. The bed was comfortable and the space was so sweet. Just being in the vehicle was so fun and really added an element to the camping trip. We slept so well even in cool temperatures. All amenities were so thoughtful. I highly recommend!

Let me start by saying this is an excellent beginner trailer. I’ve towed a bunch of different trailers over the years and this thing tows like a dream. Our v6 suv towed this over hwy 17 into Santa Cruz without any hesitation. The bed I slept on in the front was very comfortable. There is a smart tv up there we connected to the internet that worked great. Everything else worked as designed. Trailer was clean when i picked it and John and his brother were extremely friendly and easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend if this will be your first time renting a trailer. Overall a great experience for my first time renting through outdoorsy.
