Dean and Kera were amazing to work with us as first time campers! Each time we reached out with questions they responded almost immediately!!! The camper made it from Ohio to the Grand Tetons and back.! We boondocked in the woods for 4.5 days and with the amenities it was perfect! We will definitely reach out to Dean and Kera again should we need a camper. Thank you for being awesome!!
