The RV was perfect for our 6 adult group. Brandon kept an open line of communication for all our needs. His location is very convenient to several different highways. And he offers parking for your vehicle. I would definitely rent from him again and again.

Ray, Chris and Justin were amazing to work with. Any questions or issues we had were promptly corrected and resolved beyond our expectations. The RV was clean. We had no issues driving it to Myrtle Beach, SC and back. Six of us slept and lodged comfortably for eight nights. It was stocked with anything we would potentially need. I highly recommend working with the Dunklebarger’s and renting this RV for your next trip.
