My dad and I rented this RV for a 3 week road trip and the experience couldn't have been better. The Mercedes engine performed incredibly well and the inside accommodations were very comfortable. I especially enjoyed the large (and powerful) shower. Susan, the owner, responded right away to our questions along the way and was always happy to help. I would highly recommend renting this vehicle from Susan.

Madison is great! She went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. Even drove to meet us after we picked up the van to supply us with extra fuel tanks for the stove. The van is great. No problems whatsoever. Had a great time.
