This RV was a perfect size for the 3 of us. We had plenty of room for all of our clothes. The RV was stocked with things needed for a camp out.

Bryan was fantastic to work with and seems like a genuinely nice guy. He made sure we had what we needed, dropped the RV off at our hotel, and got us a ride back to the airport when our trip was finished. Everything in the RV functioned as it should and was easy to set up and put away. Wonderful experience.

The van was in great shape. No issues at all during the trip and the host was great in terms of communication. Excited to get back out there again with his van.
