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.
