Daryl was great and the revel had everything we needed! Was very happy to see both android auto and Apple car play available on the cars media center and doing the driving we did having blind spot monitors and radar cruise control is a big plus.

Kenny was a life saver after my original rental fell through. So glad it did because this RV is how you should travel! Diesel makes a huge difference in drivability. Will definitely rent this one again!

I had a lovely trip in this van! It was just as expected - cute, comfortable and all the supplies needed to camp! The van drives like a much smaller vehicle, and maneuvered the curvy roads like a champ. Kim was easy to work with and very helpful with questions. I hope to rent the van again in the future!
