We rented the Tiffin and it was phenomenal. There were 5 of us and we all slept very comfortably. Lots of storage and spacious. Service was excellent from the time we were needing help picking the right RV to the time we returned it. Check in was smooth and the staff did an excellent job going over every detail we needed to know. They are very hands on and very responsive.
