My husband, toddler and I enjoyed our first time renting a travel trailer. TJ, was very responsive to all questions prior to pick up, during and after. Very accommodating for pick up and drop off time as well. Once we were there to pick up the trailer, he explained all that we needed to know to make this trip seamless. We are avid tent campers, so our supplies we brought with us, which we normally do while tent camping, were enough to get us through on our trip without having to use anything provided by TJ. I would suggest confirming prior to your trip what is provided and what is needed for you to bring yourself. It is minimal what is provided, not a big deal at all, just be prepared and do your due diligence. The trailer was everything we needed to make our trip a memorable one. Thanks TJ! Now we are hooked and want to buy our own little trailer. Until then we would definitely go thought TJ again.
