Mike is great. Really nice guy. Great communications. Keeps his camper in great condition. Gave us great instructions and lessons for all the things. He was accommodating about timing and helpful in meeting us to return the camper to him. We look forward to any times we can rent from him again.

Great RV and George at Fireside RV Rental was great to work with. We were running behind and he was super patient with us, made sure we knew how the camper worked, and was always very responsive. Overall it was a great experience!
