We had an incredible adventure with Soul & Steady, thanks to Stefanie and Randy! From the moment we picked up the camper, they set us up for success—patiently walking us through every detail of towing, setup, operation, and breakdown. Their guidance and kindness instantly put us at ease.

We rented this RV for a weekend music festival and it completely elevated our experience. It was spotless, well-maintained and stocked with everything we needed - including cold A/C! Ricardo was friendly, responsive and made the entire process so easy from start to finish. Whether you're a first time renter or a seasoned traveler, I highly recommend. We can't wait to book again next year!
