We had an excellent experience with AdventureKT. The RV was perfect for our trip and well maintained. Brian and staff were very friendly. I would rent from them again.

Regina is super helpful and thoughtful. The van worked great although it's slightly more dated than the pictures.

This trailer turned out to be just what we needed for a couple night trip off the grid. We have a family of four (including 2 young kids), and it comfortably fit us all with my wife and I taking the bottom bunk. We expected to utilize the central heat overnight but didn’t end up even needing it (testament to the insulation/seals?). We didn’t need to use much of all the included amenities but what we did use worked as expected. The battery (hooked up to the solar panels) and propane easily powered everything during our trip, even though it was cloudy the entire time. It rained during one of the nights and we noticed a minor roof leak which we reported to the owner. He was shocked as he had just re-sealed the roof but said he would get it resolved immediately. Overall we had no complaints, would recommend, and will be using again in the future should we need a camper!
