The host was very communicative in helping me set up the trailer for my vacation. He was very detailed with all aspects, as well as helping me understand all of the trailers functions.The camper itself was surprisingly spacious. It looked smaller in the photos, but in person it was very comfortable and spacious. Although not recommended, we fit five guys in the trailer. However, it can fit four adults fairly comfortably. The big thing that I loved about this trailer, that you don’t see on many others, were stabilizers. It allowed us to level out trailer before bed that way you weren’t falling to one side while you were sleeping. Lastly, the thing is a beast off road. I took it through icy terrain in Red Feather and it did Great!Highly recommend!
We drove Lino to NY back over the winter break, staying in state parks along the way. What a dream vehicle to operate and live in! The driver assist features made the actual driving a comfortable and safe experience on all sorts of roads and conditions. We were able to plug in at every campground, keep the interior temp just how we liked it, cook our breakfasts and dinners on the induction stovetop, and listen to our music over the car’s speakers via bluetooth. The electrical panel conveniently kept us apprised of energy usage and storage, which was especially helpful when the power unit at a campground had a glitchy connection and needed an eye kept on it. Wendy had thoughtfully provided for every need, and we were pleased to use the quality cookware, service ware, and soft and cozy bedding (we did use our own sleeping bags as extra blankets, though we could have turned up the heater if needed) Speaking of the heater, it was plenty powerful, and it was very handy to have the control knob right next to the bed. We turn up the heat and let everything warm up before getting out from under the covers.Wendy was a responsive and friendly host, eager to make sure that we had everything that we needed. She had obviously spent many hours planning Lino’s upgrades for comfort and convenience.Lino and Wendy get five stars all around!I tried to upload photos but, sadly, the website was reluctant to receive them.
