Penn State was founded as Farmer’s High School in 1855 but changed its name in 1953.

Everything about this was easy--from the interface to face-to-face. Tim was responsive to texts and phone calls, so the arrangements flowed smoothly. The event we went to was really fun, and being in the camper made the weekend comfortable. We had opted for delivery and it was worth the delivery charge. Tim was thorough with all the info we needed and extremely generous with his time. The whole thing was super.

The camper had a few years on it, but overall it was suitable to our needs. The set up was excellent, and the owner was very helpful. We plan to use them again if we go back. Thank you, Dave and Lynn

David was great, he was quick to communicate details. The RV was great for us to use for a long weekend ta Raystown and having it delivered, set-up then picked up was a huge perk!
