Every part of the process with Tara was easy. The RV was very clean and in mint condition. No issues at all. We enjoyed a great weekend with “Lucky” and would rent again.

Another wonderful vacation made possible by Bob. The process was seemless. Bob's camper was immaculate and had everything we needed.
Thanks again for everything!

The Minnie Winnie delivered big! The sleeping area had a comfortable mattress and plenty of room (queen) for the two of us and a variable number of our shelties. The bathroom/closet was perfect, with a shower roomy enough for 6'3"me and plenty of storage for our towels and clothes. The slide-out is HUGE and the kitchen/dining area was more than ample. Gerry took care of all the set-up and take-down, explained everything we needed to know, and in general was a downright friendly bloke to deal with before, during, and after our vacation. This is a nearly annual trip for us, so we are looking forward to a repeat of our experience next year!
