Our camper was great, however, we recommended you guys to our friends, The Collins family and to say they had a less than desirable experience would be an understatement. We have rented from you guys multiple times and will again in the future but the unit that was delivered to my friends was in horrible condition and ended up not only having maintenance/repair issues, when it came to repairing it they didn't even bother to turn on the AC to cool the unit down and it smelled horrible for the duration of the stay. They are gracious people and not sure they would say anything but as a repeat customer and the person that referred them, i felt compelled to convey my issues.
