Loved our trip in Marc and Tiffany’s camper! They were awesome, great communication. We had the camper delivered to our campsite; it was all set up and ready for us when we arrived. It was much better than renting one of the glamping / little houses at the campground, we will 100% be going this route in the future!

A fantastic RV and a great experience with Katie and Josh, the owners. The RV was spotless, well equipped and comfortable. The two of us camped without any hookups for four nights without issues. The fridge did it's job well, the hot water was hot and the scenery was spectacular (Balsam Mountain Campground - Great Smoky Mountains National Park). The van was easy to drive and we averaged about 16 MPG, including driving into the mountains. Wonderful hosts, vehicle, and experience!
