This is a great vehicle and Marlon Webb is a prince. My husband and I drove from New Jersey to Idaho with our teenage son--and back, without him. This was our first time in an RV. The View was a perfect size for three grown people. We each had our own bed, which was nice because RV "double" beds are tight for two adults. The View drives very well, and once you are used to taking wide turns and figuring out what is behind you with side mirrors and a backup camera, it is easy to drive. It is tall, so in the high winds of South Dakota we were a bit buffeted, but it's a very responsive and secure vehicle. It is in excellent shape, has plenty of storage, convenient systems, heats up and cools down easily, and is a lot of fun! Marlon and his equally charming cousin Shawn gave us a thorough introduction to the vehicle, but also told us that despite our eager concentration we wouldn't remember half of what they said when it came time to doing it ourselves--and that we should feel free to text or call them. Their words were prophetic, and indeed we were pinging them mercilessly in the first few days. They were responsive and seemingly unbothered by repeating instructions or pointing out obvious things that we could have Googled ourselves. Thus we felt supported and encouraged, as if by benevolent schoolteachers ;). The downside--something common to many newer RVs--is that it has a lot of "smart" systems that purport to detect and alert you to various problems. These systems are over-vigilant and gave us a bunch of dashboard alerts that proved to be harmless and went away again after we stopped for the night--or even for a coffee. Marlon was undaunted and had experience with these alerts going off and how to tell if they were important. One time we had to call a technician through Outdoorsy and he solved the problem for us on the spot (if the parking brake won't release, swivel the front chairs around and back again--who knew??). This was a three-week trip and nothing was ever actually wrong, we just had to get used to the RV being a bit of a diva. We would rent it again in a heartbeat, because overall it was very user-friendly, and Marlon is like the coolest Dad you'll ever have, expertly giving assurances and instructions in his smooth, level voice, being flexible and kind, and knowing a lot about RVs and vehicles in general. Being our first time in an RV, we learned a lot, and I will pass along to you my wisdom: bring sheets, towels, pots, pans, dishes, dishtowels, a cutting board, plenty of stuff with which to wipe down and sweep up (though we did leave you a little handbroom ;)), air freshener, matches/lighter, slender water bottles for the ungenerous cup holders, and coolers (the fridge only runs when you're plugged in). If you like to stay in beautiful, natural campsites, punctuate those every couple of days with a full-hookup site. Go for it and have a great time!!
