Jason and his wife were absolutely amazing! We had a delay in our flight down that pushed our arrival back hours later than it was supposed to be. They not only got the RV setup at a campsite near the airport, they also got us pizza and snacks so we could settle in stress free when we arrived. That truly helped set the pace for our adventure. We drove from Medford down to Crescent City, then back up the coast in the RV and because it had enough space to keep us comfortable but wasn’t too large we had no problems at all with dispersed or park camping. Drop off was super quick and easy with them as well. We had forgotten a few small items and they made sure to communicate and get them back to us. 10/10 would recommend the RV and the wonderful couple owning it. It was a beautiful experience!

We really enjoyed our trip, and Michael was very responsive to questions during our trip. This was our first RV experience. In hindsight I should have asked more questions upfront as we ended up booking the wrong type of camping site (didn't have all the right hook ups), and had some hiccups with the propane. A user guide would have been helpful. But overall we had a beautiful holiday and the kids loved the RV and the bunk beds. Would not hesitate to rent again!

Jason and Sky were excellent, accommodating hosts. They were available to answer our questions and concerns throughout the trip (when we were in service range to get ahold of them). The RV was delivered on time and was extremely clean. The hosts went out of their way to pick the RV up and drop us off at the airport for a 5am flight and treated us with dignity and respect. The only disappointments about the experience were the black water tank seemed to not have been completely emptied prior to us picking the unit up and drained a considerable amount when dumped it the second day of our trip. We also struggled to maintain power in the house batteries, but being new to this RV unit, that could have been user error.
We would highly recommend these hosts to anyone looking to rent. Their RV was exactly as described and the hosts are willing to go the extra mile to assist in any way we asked. We had a life changing experience on our trip that would not have been possible without the ability to rent from these hosts. Thank you again.
