This is the second year we have rented this RV. Savannah is great with her communication. Her husband Matt explained everything we needed to know for using the RV. We will definitely rented this RV again. They are very easy to work with and it's perfect for us. The RV has everything you need and more.

Camper was clean and well appointed - made for a perfect add-on to our family reunion. Host had to set it up in the pouring down rain and did so without complaint. He also was super helpful when I requested adding an extra night. We did not hook it up to anything (did not need kitchen/power etc.), but were happily surprised to find we had lights and bathroom use anyway. We only slept 2 adults in it. It would sleep 4, but only if the other 2 were pretty short! We would definitely rent again. Overall, definitely a 5 star experience.
