We loved the Jucy Lucy!! My wife and I went to Roaring River state park for 4 incredible nights! Working with the owners was incredibly easy! Pickup and drop off super quick and again easy. They worked well with our times. The Jucy Lucy didn’t let us down once. Comfy bed, A/C on 100 degree days, private bathroom, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, propane stove and electric skillet. All of them worked great! If you are on the fence Get Off! This camper is amazing and we will definitely be renting it again!
