This is a really nice trailer that I rented for overflow guests on Thanksgiving weekend. Rafal was so very helpful and accommodating, and really just great. The little boys in the family had a blast in their very first experience in a camper of any type. I opted to use sleeping bags for them to give them more of the "camping" experience, but I should mention that Rafal provided very nice bedding. The boys' parents found the queen bed and linens very comfortable and warm. The heat "fireplace" worked great and added to the cozy comfort, and everything plugged in easily to my garage outlet. All around, it was just a great experience. I will definitely be renting from Rafal again. Highly recommend.
