The Coach: One of the easiest driving RV's I've ever driven, low mileage, neat, clean, functional, cold AC, nice Hot Heater. The Host: Very communicative, helpful, prompt replies. While some hosts hide potential issues, this host told us about an issue with the awning upfront. (next renter should be fine as part was ordered). This is how hosts putting their RV on Outdoorsy should work. Highly recommended, and my Wife and I have rented over 30 RV's from various rental companies. thanks for an awesome vacation!!!
Adam was communicative, arrived when he said he would for setup, the RV was clean and had everything that was expected, and Adam took plenty of time to show me everything I might need to know for the trip. Overall, great experience!
