I had an amazing experience renting this RV! From the start, the process was smooth and stress-free. The RV was spotless, well-maintained, and fully stocked with everything I needed for the trip. It drove comfortably, and all the features (kitchen, bathroom, AC, hookups) worked perfectly.

We had an amazing first-time experience with this trailer! The RV was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable trip.
As first-time renters, we were a bit nervous, but the owners were incredibly friendly, patient, and supportive. They walked us through everything we needed to know and made sure we felt confident towing and using the trailer.
They went above and beyond by dropping off a complimentary generator so we could run the AC, and even brought firewood for our BBQ — such a thoughtful touch that made our trip even better.
Highly recommend both the trailer and the hosts. Everything was smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable from start to finish!
