Very good customer service
MICHAEL M. - Oct 2025
Jeremy was a pleasure to work with. He had some issues with the camper from a previous renter, but communicated these with me in detail. He was very helpful throughout the rental and answered questions. He was an honest and reputable owner. I would rent from him again in a second!! Thank you Jeremy!
