My wife and I were the four of us experiencing a RV for the first time, my wife found this RV on Rednote Our first experience was fantastic! The vehicle was in excellent condition, very new, and fully equipped. All the amenities inside were provided. The owner was also very friendly and patiently explained everything to us. It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely choose this RV again. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience a RV.
