Andy was a great host. The van has everything you would need for the perfect camping trip. He also has detailed instructions on how things work in the van. He is also available to answer questions. Highly recommend

This was a very awesome easy RV rental!!! Sam and Jim have a great RV and they are fun and friendly, easy to work with. We needed an RV sort of last minute and they popped up on the search for the timeframe and type we needed, they gave us clear instructions and everything in the RV worked as it should have...it was easy to drive, easy on gas and roomy for the 2 of us. When an issue arose, they addressed it quickly, confidently and made it 100% right! Would easily rent from them again.

I couldn't have asked for a better first venture into trailer camping. Pablo went through the whole set-up/takedown with me. The trailer was easy to use and in great shape. I'll likely rent again as I explore more of the Southern Wisconsin parks.
