We had a fantastic experience renting this camper. James did a thorough walk thru and made sure we understood what everything did. As a family of four the camper had plenty of space for us to relax and hang out in and the 2 fold out beds we're very comfortable and spacious.
The light trailer made it very easy to tow and back into our camp site. We would definitely rent with James again.
