Meet your host, Glenn and Barbara

Member since 2019

My wife and I have enjoyed camping for years, starting with a small tent, then a bigger tent, a travel trailer and finally our motor home. At our age, we like a few more creature comforts. We like the fact that we just pack our clothes, and personal items and go. You can do the same, the camper has all you need to set up camp. It is like our second home, as we often camp with family members. It allows us to make the rounds seeing our far flung friends and family, and to visit some of our favorite places.

2017 Forest River Forester

Class CRental #129990

If you want a comfortable RV experience, this is the unit for you. We provide a fully equipped mobile travel experience sleeping 5 adults comfortably or 4 adults and two children. It allows travelers to avoid contact with large groups of people often found in congested airports or train stations.

This 27' (when driving) Class C Forest River Forester has been upgraded with a front-end stabilizing system which makes it easier to drive when on difficult roads and in windy conditions. It handles well in all situations; urban, rural, irrespective of road and weather conditions. Over the typical road and at reasonable speeds, it averages 9.5 mpg but we have achieved a sustained 15 mpg in certain conditions. It is powered by a Ford E-450 engine (55 gallon fuel tank) and has cruise control and rear/side cameras. It has a very comfortable queen size bed and queen sized overhead bunk. The dinette converts to a twin bed. The dinette seats 4 with seat belts for traveling as well as anchors for two child car seats. The unit has three electric powered slides, generous internal and external storage and a large cedar wardrobe. RV systems (slides, water pump, etc.) operate through monitor controls. It has a 30 amp system, but can connect to 20 and 50 amp outlets. The WIFI integrates RV systems but is not for personal use.

The unit is fully outfitted for immediate camping (see below). We thoroughly clean and prepare the unit for each unique renters anticipated needs. It has a Onan generator (gas), 18' power retractable awning, air conditioning/furnace/heat pump, and a gas/electric water heater. The factory installed television has been replaced with a high end Jensen television and the unit has radio/DVD with exterior speakers, USB charging stations and cable equipment. All of the factory errors, often listed in reviews, have been professionally replaced and all systems are now fully operational. An all weather emergency radio is also available.

What's included

It is fitted with full cooking and bathroom facilities with storage sufficient for several days of food and supplies, depending, of course, on the number of travelers. All necessary water, sewer, electrical and leveling equipment, patio rug, 4 camp chairs and 2 children's camp chairs are included as are kitchen equipment, dishes, pans, utensils, bedding, towels, pillows, 2 cup coffee pot, toaster, & hairdryer are provided. There is also an emergency kit and all weather radio.

Recommendations

Our RV is very mobile and when compared to most Class C's provides easier accessibility for urban parking, shopping malls, etc. Many of our renters have commented to us on the general "driveability" of our unit ... "a pleasure to drive." Our RV, however, is not suited for extensive "off road" driving or driving on very unlevel surfaces such as dirt, gravel even many poorly maintained secondary roads. Neither is it suited for boon docking or dry camping as accurate leveling of the unit is required to safely operate systems. All leveling must be done manually, "within the bubble" in all directions. Further our electrical system provides regular challenges, hence potential damages, to those boon docking, dry camping or lengthy use of 20 amp "house" electrical systems. We recommend camping on commercial sites with 30 or 50 amp electrical systems and fairly level concrete or asphalt pads.

Other things to note

We welcome your pets and children but would like to be informed about your plan for traveling with them and what arrangements need to be made for them. We require a $100 additional security deposit for each child and pet as they can, and too often do, damage the interiors of RV's. These additional deposits are waived if the renter opts to purchase the interior protection insurance option. No boon docking. dry camping or driving on very unlevel surfaces such as much mountain driving or extensive driving on dirt/gravel roads. If damages are caused by any of these, after a professional inspection estimated damages will be taken from the security deposit. If damages exceed that deposit, further claims will be made based on the estimate.

Great experience! Bed in RV was incredible. Was as comfortable as my high priced bed at home. RV was clean and nice looking. Great choice for a weekend getaway. Will most likely rent from them again.

From start to finish, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Glenn and Barb and with this beautiful Class C RV. We received a great orientation and felt very comfortable driving this rig. Glenn and Barb went out of their way to answer all questions and accommodated us beyond our requests. They were attentive with any questions we may have had during our trip and they have written step by step instructions that cover every topic that gave us confidence. The RV was super clean and renting this unit allowed me to visit my parents in a safe way during this time which was priceless along with allowing me to relax in the beautiful Ozarks. As a future RV full-timer, I learned a lot from this rental experience, and have confirmed that RV owners and enthusiasts are the nicest people ever!

We had a Great time! Glenn and Barb are Wonderful People! They were so helpful, from Beginning to end. This was our first time camping in a Class C camper. We had a nice relaxing time and stayed a little over 135 miles from home. The Camper had all of the necessities you could ever need. We will always remember taking our first camping trip in the beautiful, clean camper. Making memories is what Life is all about! We loved it All!!
