William included many essentials like awnings, propane, electricity, and optional lighting. The trailer was easy to tow, and kept us dry in the rain. Thanks William.

We loved the van! It felt so luxurious to have while visiting Death Valley. She kept us warm over the mountains and cool in the heat. We had 4 people and she had lots of room for all of us. We highly recommend renting from Nick!
