My fiancé and I had a great time for our weekend camping trip! We brought our dogs along and thanks to Joseph everything was very easy and it was the perfect way to enjoy camping with our family! The trailer was very tidy and clean and also had a lot of things included that we didn’t even think of needing. Highly recommend!
Great experience with the host and this wonderful RV. The host was timely in responding and meeting with the vehicle, showed me the key features and functions and got us on the road quickly. The RV was top of the line, everything worked great and it was very comfortable for our trip. Would rent again for sure.
The best parts of our trip are the amazing memories we made together. The camper was better than I expected. The 3 of us had such a great time. The only thing was we should have stayed camping longer we had so much fun. Tony was an amazing host! He helped us every step of the way and answered any questions we had. We can’t wait to book again
