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.

Had a great time at Lauder Family Campground in Frenchville. It was our 3rd year. Ryan and Lisa were great to work with. The camper was just perfect for 4 of us!

Both the RV and our host, Tony Zook, were absolutely awesome! And many thanks to Outdoorsy for making the entire rental process easy, convenient, and smooth. Our trip from PA to TX and back was a joy and a total success thanks to Tony Zook and Outdoorsy. We very highly recommend both and look forward to dealing with both for all our future adventures. Thank you!
