This was our first RV trip, and Ronnie was very responsive and courteous to any questions we had. He made it feel like our home away from home with all the amenities you could think of, he left nothing out! Thanks, Ronnie for making this a memorable experience for our family. ❤️

The experience is super good. Everything is prepared beforehand. You literally just need to step into the car to start your trip. The host is nice and patient. Can’t recommend more! Will take this for our next roadtrip.

This was our first RV experience. We had never boarded one let alone driving and operating one before this trip. Elena and her husband made it so much relaxing and enjoyable for our whole family including our dog. They wrote and shared with us beforehand an in-depth RV 101 tutorial with YouTube video links and pictures for demonstration, provided prompt responses when we got some operation related questions during the trip and a smooth return of the RV at the end. By the way, this 2023 Entegra Qwest 24R was so easy to drive and operate (I was quite nervous before setting my feet inside). It's also roomy and very comfortable living inside. We will highly recommend Elena and her wonderful RV.
