We were very comfortable in this RV and it was fully stocked with all essentials. Eric was amazing - so accessible and easy to work with. He delivered our RV in immaculate condition and checked to make sure we were set. I highly recommend Eric and his RV for your next adventure.

We had an excellent experience renting from Candy and this was a perfect sized camper for the 4 of us. The pick up and drop off was very smooth, though as a note the listing mentioned it used a 2-5/16" ball but it actually takes a 2" ball. Candy was able to help us out to ensure we could still pick it up. During the rental we did run out of propane and Candy ran over a new tank that day. I would definitely rent with Candy again.
