We had a great experience renting from Jon. Since it was our first time doing this, we were nervous, but Jon explained everything perfectly and was easily readable for questions throughout the rental period. We'll definitely do this again.

Gerry was great to work with! Super accommodating and just a nice guy with a handsome dog :) The camper was absolutely perfect for a weekend away. The upgraded bed was amazing after a long day and the shower had great pressure and super hot! Thanks Gerry! We look forward to next year!

Mike was super accommodating and very informative with showing us how the camper van functioned. It was our first time camper vanning and we were new to how it worked. He accommodated an early pick up time for us and provided everything we needed within the van. Easy to drive, easy to use! He was totally transparent with me as a previous renter damaged the outside of the van, but didn’t affect the drivability and functions of the van. Would definitely take a trip with him again!
