Great trip with two of us and a small dog in the van. We were away for 7 nights and we found everything easy to use for both hook up and dry camping. Richard was really helpful and communicative. Highly recommend. Thank you!

Roger is an excellent host and we are lucky to be able to rent this RV so close to home in TO. Appreciated the 4 comfortable captain chairs and the 5 extra chairs for a total of 9 passengers if needed. It was a perfect RV to host our out-of-town guests flying in for the wedding of our daughter and now son-in-law in Walnut Grove. Nice to have the extra bathroom, sink and refrigerator to use when needed.
