The trailer was good. Storage space was minimal only because the owners had all of their own items taking up the cabinets. The trailer was very dusty on the inside. Tried to clean it up the best we could for the time we had it. Other than those two items it was exactly what we needed.

Bruno was so kind and helpful! He bought a bike rack in advance for our kids’ bikes. Even when we (Bruno and our fam) tried troubleshooting/mounting the two bikes, he helped us attach an extra part so we could make it all work well. Thanks Bruno! The kids loved having their bikes in neighborhoods, state parks, and RV parks. We loved getting to do a family spring break road trip (cat included; not having to board her). Loved the battery system and how long it lasted. The bed was oh so comfy! The kids were getting a little too big for the top bunk, but my hub ended up sleeping there one night - so a 6’ 1” person does fit! I loved having the restroom when stopping on the road. Made life easier! We left our iron skillet in the camper, but Bruno is so kind as to mail it to us (and we pay for shipping.) Thanks again! Despite a couple hiccups as newbie RV folks, we figured it all out and enjoyed learning a new way of travel. We highly recommend!
