My husband and I along with another couple set out on a cross country trip to Yellowstone, Blackhills, Badlands and Tetons. The RV was great. Heidi was great with communication whenever we reached out to her. The generator was a huge plus. Great hosts. Would recommend to anyone thinking about a trip like this.
