Chris came to the rescue when my original reservation was canceled 2hrs prior to arrival. The rig was clean, well appointed, and Chris was amazing at accommodating on such short notice.
Thank you again!

We had an amazing adventure with our family in the RV. Traveling 8 hours in the RV was so relaxing. The bed is very comfortable to sleep in…even in a thunderstorm! We would definitely do this again.
