We had a great time and a wonderful overall experience with both the van and through James. The training he offers is quick and simple. Van was clean and comfortable even as the weather tried to make us hunker down from time to time. James was very accommodating. We are planning our next adventure and James will be our first go to host. Can't give enough props.

First time renter with outdoorsy and Maddie made it a great experience. Responded quickly, trailer was ready to go and did a walkthrough before taking off. The trailer was perfect for my family and the trip, towed easy, was clean and stocked with the necessities. Will rent again from Maddie!

The trailer was set up quickly, and SHON is very nice. Everything was in working condition. Love the outdoor blue LED lights. Refrigerator kept everything extremely cold. Stove and oven light quickly. It was perfectly comfortable for the two adults on the trip. Shon explained how everything works very well.
