Drives great, adaptive cruise control is helpful. Unlimited miles means no worries about distance. James answers all questions quickly before and during the rental.

Kevin’s trailer was super clean, and everything worked well. Pick up and drop off went smoothly. Highly recommend renting from Kevin. We spent 5 days on the coast camping and no issues.

Wonderful experience. The RV was very new and fully stocked. Ricardo delivered and set it up for us, and then kindly recorded instructional videos and texted us since he was concerned we wouldn’t have cell service to call with any questions when we got there. A great experience and we would definitely rent him from him again.
