Trudy is a very comfortable home. I really enjoyed sleeping with the windows all around the bed. The easy to use windows slid open to expose secure screens for an evening breeze. The fridge and separate freezer are large for the size rig. The garage is unbelievably large. A picnic table and two chair chairs didn’t even make a dent in the space. The generator is easy to use and the furnace is as easy as turning up your home thermostat. It was too chilly to test out the AC system. Plenty of battery power, even though the solar wasn’t working.

My trip to Upper State NY was awesome and Matt told me to call anytime if I had a problem. Did not have any problems, Matt takes care of his RV and I recommend him for your travels.
