Caitlin is super friendly and extremely responsive and communicative. The RV came with alot of extra ammenities that I didn't think of when setting out. In addition, the RV is well kept, clean, and very comfortable. Everything worked great and was very spacious. I would definitely recommend renting with her.

Our RV rental from Haleem was great! The RV was really clean and had everything we needed for a great weekend of dry camping in Yosemite! He was very thorough and responsive from start to finish. It is obvious there is a lot of care between rentals as the RV and all the equipment seemed brand new.

Another great year vacationing at the beach with my daughters, family and friends. This is the second time we rented this trailer and it was as wonderful as the first time. Cooking with a view on the outdoor stove is a plus. The trailer had so much room, very clean and had everything we needed. Thank you Joel & Meghan for taking great care of us.
