Everything was great. This was our first trip with a trailer and this little Wally was just perfect for us, it’s comfortable and has just what you need. Easy to prep and get on the road. Sophie was great and gave us very detailed explanations. Highly recommended, will book again!

Can’t say enough great things about my experience renting from Rodger. This is one of my favorite rentals I’ve made on the app. Rodger (and his brother Brian who also made himself available in case Rodger was busy) were an absolute pleasure to work with. They took the time to show me around the camper and how to use everything. They were great at communication and the camper was clean and had all the amenities we hoped for and more.

The camper was great; the floor plan was perfect for our needs. The set-up on the site was great! However, our host forgot to give us the access code to unlock the camper which caused us some delay with our 5 young grandchildren in tow. Also, the propane tank ran out in the middle of the first night leaving us without heat in mid 30-degree outside temperatures. Upon inspection, both propane tanks were empty. Other than that, we enjoyed the camper.
