Our trip using Robert’s RV went very well. He was easy to communicate with, the RV was exactly as described, and except for some unexpected snow everything went as planned.

Daryl was great and the revel had everything we needed! Was very happy to see both android auto and Apple car play available on the cars media center and doing the driving we did having blind spot monitors and radar cruise control is a big plus.
