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.
