Excellent experience from start to finish. Andrew was super responsive from the get go. Great communication. Van was perfect. Just as described. Andrew walked us through everything. He was patient and answered all questions and was completely available when we were on the road and had questions. Would recommend 100%!

My partner and I had a great time taking this Rv to camp near Lake Okeechobee! Everything worked well, was easy, and it didn’t feel cumbersome to drive.
