Tim was excellent. It was the first time that we had rented a camper. He provided all of the essentials and was extremely quick to respond to all of our questions.

This was an excellent RV experience! The RV was clean and everything in working order, matches the description and no surprises. Kevin is such a helpful host though, he goes way above and beyond what I expected. He gave me great advice about the campground we were staying at, he sent me GPS directions to the cheapest gas around, and he was extremely flexible for pick up and drop off times!
