Terry D Toys are just the most amazing couple. When describing Sweet Pea and all her amenities, we were blown away by all she came with. Thank you so much for the Blackstone use. It cooked 6# of bacon in 2 days!! There was corn hole (we didn't end up using), all the cookware you could need, extra blankets/bedding, 1st aide kit, and anything you needed but may have forgotten. This was our best Outdoorsy experience. Terry D Toys LLC has set the bar high and exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Thank You!!

We had a great week long trip with the camper!! It was perfect for us and a grandkid or two! It was very well equiped and supplied!! It was easy to pull and set-up! The hosts were also great to work with through-out the process! We highly recommend renting this camper and plan on renting it again on a future trip. Thank you Ron and Cathy!
