Having the RV parked in our driveway for added sleeping arrangements for the family was a game changer! James, the owner, was absolutely fantastic! Dropoff, setup, walk-through, and pick-up could not have gone smoother. Will most definitely book with him again.

Great experience throughout the whole time. The trailer was exactly what we needed and the support that was provided for us by our host was above all expectations. We were helped with all questions we had regarding the use of the trailer and our host family members were all very kind and very pleasant. We will definitely use this camper on any upcoming projects we may have that call for one.

This was a great experience - our first time camping in an RV! Denis was very helpful and accommodating, gave us the info we needed to navigate and be successful. The RV was really, really nice, comfortable bed and had all the basics on board. Also, I booked without giving Denis much notice, so I appreciate that as well. We'll definitely reach out again.
