We have NEVER camped in a RV, and knew nothing about the experience, so we rented “Tiny Adventures” in anticipation of purchasing a new Class C. The owners were INCREDIBLY thorough and effective in both the advice and instruction they gave us. First, they talked us out of boondocking as a first-time experience (good thing! 😊). They took the time to answer all of our initial questions, and spent TWO HOURS training us on how everything works!!
