An amazing RV trip! The vehicle was spotless, new, and very comfortable. Every detail was prepared, making the whole experience smooth and hassle-free. The host provided clear instructions around the RV, which made it easy to handle even for a first-time RV user like me. Communication was prompt and friendly throughout. I would highly recommend it!

My mom an I took a trip for a few days driving up the coast and exploring the Redwoods. Ronnie's RV was the perfect size and was more than accommodating to our needs. Having no previous experience with driving a camper, it was very easy to learn how to handle and operate this one.
Ronnie was very good at explaining the hook ups and maintenance of everything— allowing for a smooth and stress free trip. Even at the end of the trip, refilling gas and propane was convenient because there is a U-Haul propane refill center next to a gas station only a couple miles from the drop off location.
Renting this camper is a great choice, especially if you want to do a lot of exploring! It required very little energy to take care of the RV or attach it to hook ups. The shower in it is also amazing! Plus, if I needed any help, Ronnie was always very responsive.
I recommend this to anybody looking for a stress free adventure! Happy trails!

We took this Element & rooftop tent from San Jose, to Santa Cruz, to Yosemite, and back. This was our time using a tent like this - it was very easy/quick to set up and pretty comfortable! The back seats can be set up for passengers or folded down and to the sides for more trunk room. Had a great time!
