Andrei is an incredible host! His walkthrough was thorough and gave our group confidence in handling the vehicle, and his communication was clear and proactive. The RV worked perfectly. Would highly recommend renting from Andrei!

Rich was a great host - he provided a thorough walk through to help me prepare for my trip and easy to communicate with on the return. The van had everything I needed for a weekend climbing trip - plenty of space for gear and comfortable to sleep and work out of.

This was the perfect RV for our California vacation. James is the best host, very communicative and responsive. The van is equipped with all the necessities except the more personal items as would be expected. We brought a french press coffee pot so we could enjoy good coffee instead of instant. We bought some bedding when we started out because some nights were chilly. Also since our trip was wine oriented, we bought a wine opener and some glasses. Paper plates were just fine with us. Cooking was easy on the propane stove top and we never used more than 8% of the battery power overnight. When we have a chance to explore more of California we will definitely be contacting James for use of "Husky".
