First time traveling in an RV. We had such a great time. Our hosts explained everything we needed to know and we're available to answer questions throughout our trip. We will definitely do this again.

Week long trip looking for something cozy yet not too big, this was thee answer. The van handled well between some rough roads to campgrounds, which we managed thru worry free, to tucking away in the back of walmart's parking lots. If there's a place you'd like to be, I'm sure this van can get you there! Amenities we're fantastic. Having a toilet when needed to never having to worry about devices getting their charge. Would definitely get again!
