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.

The RV arrived very clean and Matt was ready to deliver it to the campground earlier than scheduled. It was the perfect size for me and my little dog.
