This is a fantastic camper! There are two
Separate bedrooms a bunk room that sleeps 3 and a primary bedroom with a queen. Lots of storage space as well. The layout of this camper is what we loved the most. There was a center living area with the kitchen, couch, & dinette table, everything you need in the fully stocked kitchen. I’ve rented other campers and James is an excellent host. He responded within 10 minutes every single time, which was amazing!!

Candy was great. Super flexible and willing to explain everything. She filled up the water tank before we left and answered. Any questions we had. Candy was great to work with. The camper was perfect for a rainy memorial weekend. Overall recommended!

We were very comfortable in this RV and it was fully stocked with all essentials. Eric was amazing - so accessible and easy to work with. He delivered our RV in immaculate condition and checked to make sure we were set. I highly recommend Eric and his RV for your next adventure.
