Karen and Wayne made this trip even better. Wayne was prompt with the delivery and pickup. The communication was perfect as our hosts checked in before, after and during our trip assuring us if needed they were more than happy to accommodate. The camper was super clean and stocked with everything we needed. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable, perfect for the six of us. Upon the end of our trip the first thing Karen ask was "what can we do to make it better"? To be honest, I can't think of a thing. One thing is for sure, if we rent again, and Family Time is available it will be our first choice. Thank you, Karen and Wayne for setting the standard in RV sharing!

This is a great trailer. Its very clean and very well kept. The bed is so comfortable. It has all the necessary essentials for a weekend away. Dishes, pots and pans, chairs, and outdoor rug for your campsite. The outdoor kitchen is the best! It has a little vacuum, extra tools and cleaning supplies.
JP is a great host. He walked us through everything before the trip and responds quickly to text messages if you need anything at all along the way.
5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
