My partner and I had a great trip in the van. We drove from San Diego to Fort Bragg in Northern California with no issues. It drove smooth, slept very comfortably, and was exactly what we needed for a week away. Pal was great with communication and we will definitely rent again with him when we’re ready to hit the road again.

We had a great experience renting from Mark! He was incredibly communicative and easy to work with throughout our entire trip. We reached out several times with questions about operating the RV because we wanted to make sure we were doing everything correctly, and he was always quick to respond, helpful, and friendly. The RV worked great for our trip and we really appreciated how available Mark made himself whenever we needed him. Would definitely recommend renting from him!
