Discover Essex RV rentals for memorable road trips
Essex, Ontario is about 20 miles southeast of Detroit, Michigan. Essex was formed in 1999, though a smaller town by the same name existed within the current city's borders. This city is a combination of four small communities, all of which have unique histories. Essex was struck by tragedy when a train carrying combustible material exploded in the early 1900s, but the strength of its citizens helped carry the area to become one of the most well-known cities in all of Ontario.

Our family had a great time on our trip to Texas using Joel's RV. It was clean, safe, and affordable. Joel answered all our questions and was available, and even reached out to us to see how we were doing. It was a pleasurable experience and I highly recommend renting from Joel and will certainly rent from him when traveling in the future.

Rick and Jill were very attentive to any questions we had whether prior to departure or along the way to Texas. There were 5 of us for this adventure. The listing is accurate with the amenities provided: Keurig, crockpots, warming tray, utensils, bedding, pillows, grill, outdoor chairs, silverware, paper plates, cups, serving trays...all we needed to do was stock the refrigerator which we did! The RV was comfortable for my 83 year-old aunt who traveled with oxygen along with my parents who are also in their 80s.

The extended tongue made it feel very secure and easy to tow. The fact that it could be easily lowered all the way to the ground, with creatively designed mechanics 🤯, made it feel like I wasn’t in a mobile unit at all. The sauna itself was nicely set up. A changing/cool down area, with accoutrements. A clean spacious sauna with wood burning stove capable of plentiful heat supply. We like it HOT! Followed by the PONDR cold plunge tub with epsom salts… ahhhh! Wonderful experience all around.
