The trip went great, the host was very easy to contact and was extremely quick with his responses. We had some engine trouble getting back but overall we would book this RV again! He thanked us for letting him know about the issue and would get it serviced.

We had a great time. We took our 7th grade basketball team, the Vipers to the Great Wolf Lodge. It was a blast in the RV. Tara was very accommodating and the RV was super clean.
I would definitely recommend.

Amazing winter vanlife experience in Thing2!!! We (2 adults & dog) did a week-long snowboarding trip from CT to ME, and it was great to have the van as our basecamp & lodge. We were warm & comfortable despite freezing temps outside, and had enough space for all our gear. Michael did a great walk-through of the systems when we picked up & was responsive and helpful throughout the trip - highly recommend.
