Our rental was just what we needed. It helped so much for our host to drop off, set up, and pick up the RV. My only minor suggestions are to have a skillet (had pots only) and a couple of folding chairs as items available for use. We flew in so we didn’t have access to get those things. Jackson was very responsive to any questions during our trip. I would definitely recommend renting from this host.

I cannot say enough good things about Elliot and his RV. The RV has a ton of room. We had 5 adults and were well accommodated for space. The RV has all the essentials, generator, retractable awning, sound system, and more.
