The RV and service were great. I apologize for the red drink explosion. I thought we got most of it.

This is the second time I rented from this host. Both times the camper and communication was excellent! I would highly recommend this host!

The RV was very nice and comfortable. The only issue we had was lack of communication. We would definately rent from Steve again when we are back in the area.
