It was so nice to have the RV all set up and ready to go when we arrived! Tom was a perfect host... Explained all of the knobs, buttons and how everything worked! He was available when we had questions on how to turn on the oven and gave us suggestions for things to see and do in town!

10/10. So much fun. Larry was so kind to deliver the trailer and set it all up. He went above and beyond staying late to meet us when we were delayed with traffic. Our Oregon Inlet campsite didn’t have hookups but we had enough water and gas in the tank to be comfortable for 4 nights. The trailer was comfortable and easy to stay in - more like an extended stay apartment than camping (toaster, coffee maker, etc). The additional camping chairs, towels, and blankets that came with the trailer were helpful. We brought our own dishes, kid blankets, and some additional towels. Next time we’ll bring our own pillows.

We had a wonderful experience with the Sprinter van. Our host sent us various videos to demonstrate how to effectively use the gadgets and technology on the van. They were extemely helpful. Our host was always available if we had any questions on how to operate bluetooth or the tv. She was very warm and approachable. We enjoyed our experience so much that we plan on renting again from our host next summer. The sprinter van had all the modern conveniences provided enough leg room to keep pre-teens happy. The TV was a blessing during football bowl season and NFL sunday games as we traveled to and from our destination. I would highly recommend this host and listing!
