The town of Dover, New Jersey is situated just west of Newark and New York and east of Allentown.

With its proximity to Newark, Dover promptly grew with the implementation of a railway line, giving commuters easy access to the big city.

Brian’s RV is clean, stocked and ready to go! He was quick to answer questions I had and flexible with timing. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from him again!

My wife and I rented this RV for a quiet weekend getaway to The Poconos. We were thrilled to be able to bring our dog with us. The owner was extremely helpful and communicative. The RV was the perfect size for a couple looking for a weekend away that feels cozy, but also has plenty of space. We were able to cook in the kitchen area, enjoy s’mores outside with provided chairs and have breakfast looking out the adjacent window. The bed was also the perfect nook for snuggling up in the chilly nights, while still being large enough to spread out. All in all, we would absolutely book again.

The Van was very clean and everything functioned as it should. Bed was comfortable. Host Bud gave very thorough overview of how to operate the van. Great experience!
