Great communication and flexibility! We would definitely use this camper again. They thought of everything you would need during a camping trip even down to a smore kit which the kids loved. Thank you for everything ❤️

I’ve been renting trailers for 8 years. This was the best stocked trailer I’ve rented. Would 100% rent from them again.
