We had a wonderful experience renting the Holiday Navigator from Adrian for our community event. The RV met all of our needs as a secure and comfortable operations base, and Adrian couldn’t have been easier or nicer to work with. Communication was clear, setup was seamless and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We truly enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend the Holiday Navigator for any event or special use.
