Book this RV! We had the absolutely best time as a family. The owners had everything we could need + more stocked for us. There was even a kids welcome present in the camper when it was delivered with fun activities for our kids. It was the sweetest added touch. The camper was in great shape, clean, and the owners were so welcoming and responsive. I can’t say enough good things. If we ever rent again, it will be from them!
