Fantastic first experience with a camper van! When we found out that our original rental was not going to be available, Doug and Lisa were able to step in and provide everything that we needed within a very short timeframe. They were very gracious hosts and patiently answered all of our questions. We felt supported throughout our travels and would highly recommend them.

Great rental! Douglas and his wife gave us a complete and thorough walk thru on all the systems and operation of the van. Since we didn't have much RV experience they were very patient and answered all our questions. The camper was great with everything working perfectly. They also equipped it with everything you need for your trip. The van handles wonderfully. Easy to drive and get in and out of normal parking situations. Our check in was simple and fast. If you want an easy to drive, turn key RV experience this is a perfect choice.
