Corey and Samantha were great hosts!! Corey went over every inch of the unit before I left in great detail. The unit itself is absolutely amazing, it is kept spotless clean. The solar on top works flawlessly and lasted what it seemed like forever! Very easy unit to tow but yet large enough to bring a UTV. Will definitely rent again from Corey and Samantha.

Nick and Carol were fantastic from start to finish. They proactively contacted and coordinated with the campsite owners ahead of time, so when we arrived the RV was already site-ready—zero hassle and set-up was a breeze. Communication was timely and friendly. The RV itself was spotless, comfortable, and very nice—exactly as described (actually better). If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Highly recommend renting from Nick and Carol!
