The Jayco trailer was a perfect trial of RV camping for us - perfect size and had the necessities (bed, toilet, shower) plus extras (great heater for cold nights, hot water, and AC for hot days). Charlie was super helpful. He even went to the campground to check it out upon our reservation to let us know what it was like. On the day of he then delivered, set up, and explained everything to us beforehand, then broke everything down afterwards. We are interested in buying but wanted to try it out beforehand and Charlie was happy to explain everything to us during set up and answer all of our questions. He even promptly helped us with an error on the water heater in the middle of a work day. He was super helpful and cheerful - someone you can trust and you would want to have a beer with!

The RV I rented was in good condition and Russell communicated the proper way to operate all of the features on the RV. He made the pick up and drop off procedures easy.
