Tony was great to deal with and the RV was in great shape and very clean. Our campsite was a little bit downhill but there were blocks in the back to pull up on and level it out. We had power and water but with the generator and fresh water tank you could dry camp for at least a couple days. It’s also a good layout, with the bedroom in the back and multiple beds up front.

We went to a star gazing event in Northern PA and the RV was perfect. Jim was very helpful and was able to get the vehicle ready in a short notice. Picking it up and returning it was a breeze.. Thanks again, Jim!!
