Roger was the absolute best host! Furnished the rv with thoughtful extras and was very helpful along our trip when we needed help.

Brook and Dan were great. The trailer was clean and ready to go when we picked up. Brook did an excellent job going over the trailer so we understood how the systems worked. This was the first time my wife and I had rented a trailer. The Scamp was very easy to pull behind my 4Runner. We used it for 6 nights and it was very cozy and cute. For two people it was perfect. Dan was there when we returned it. Both Brook and Dan are very nice people. My wife and I would highly recommend them for the future renters.

Richard was very communicative prior to and after I booked with him. Always answers within hours and offered for me to check out the vehicle prior to booking. Richard was very thorough when giving me the tutorial on the vehicle the day of pick up. During my trip he made himself available in case any issues came up... which there were none. The vehicle was very clean and functional. Very easy to drive and felt very safe. Richard provided additional items like water, utensils, kitchen items and toilet paper. I plan to rent again and would recommend Richard to any renter. Overall was an exceptional experience.
