I loved the van. It road well and was very comfortable. The host delivered it and explained everything to me before I loaded it up. I had a great weekend camping trip!

Isa is very professional and works easily with your needs. I rented this RV for a road trip for my sister who is terminally ill. We had all the comforts of home and in a compact yet spacious RV van. Isa was great with communication and available to answer any questions we had.
Isa thank you for your part in helping to bring my Sister so much joy and comfort.
This Ethos Entegra has all the comforts you need. Among the many that I found most satisfying
Blue tooth connection on the TV. With a freezer that kept popsicles frozen the entire time. And what else? Running water in the kitchen, as well as in the restroom. Making it nice to avoid cross-contamination. Easy to work shades and awning. Beautiful interior and lighting. Looks like the inside of a personal jet. Large windows give great views. Easy to run generator for power at any time.
The onboard back up battery power start and starlink satellite system gave me great relief knowing all the bases were covered (in case of an emergency). Extra outlets and charging ports were great as well. Driving security with a wide view camera that can be switched from mirror to camera easily with a switch. Drowsy driver alerts are one of the many safety features the RV has. Very easy to drive. Drove well through the mountains and high elevation.
Great vehicle and wonderful management.
I recommend this RV van with the strongest recommendation.
I would rent from Isa again.
The best practical thing about this RV is that you can park it almost anywhere! As you can see from our photos. We got a front row seat to everything!
