About Phil

AWESOME ! Phil is responsive, attentive and always answered my questions promptly and I had a few lol. Patient, flexible and always with a smile; we appreciated him and his service 150%. We rented his RV for 9 days then decided to continue doing business with him by renting one of his SUVs. His RV was top notch, brand new, clean and with many anemities not expected. Highly recommend (and already have done so to friends) !!

Great communication. We appreciated how flexible Phil was with pick up and drop off. RV drives great. We highly recommend.

Phil is a fantastic, responsive host. The RV is maintained incredibly and fit our needs perfectly. If you’re a first timer worried about driving a large vehicle like I was, this is the RV you should try. It was great navigating campsites, had no issues climbing the steep hills on California freeways, had the best visibility of any vehicle I’ve driven, and was even pretty good on gas.

Well maintained RV and easy to use for this first timer. Great host.

This was a great solution for a familytrip through California. We got to see way more than we would have any other way. The camper was great and was exactly what we needed for the winding roads and passes getting into the national parks.

AmazingRV！

Very nice talking to Phil, he was super friendly, explained everything very clearly. The Rv was clean, like brand new. We had a great time on it.

Really enjoyed the RV for our trip to Sequoia. Thr RV was in excellent condition, and was extremely large inside due to the bid slide out. Together with some tents it was a good base for our group of 8. The owner was very responsive when I had questions. The check in and out process was very quick, and the owner was very flexible. RV had a couple chairs and a small table which was helpful. The automatic awning was a plus. Easy to drive. Would definitely rent again.

It was a great experience to rent this RV from Phill. It was brand new, in great shape, and very smooth and easy to drive. I would definitely rent this RV again.

We had an amazing time in this RV. Easy to drive, spacious, clean… perfect for our family of 4. Phil was a great host and answered all my calls during the trip (No issues just had few usage questions). I highly recommend booking with Phil.

Phil was a good host. We had some trouble during our trip with the rv but he was quick to respond with it. He made rental process easy.

Phil was a fantastic host! The RV was exactly as described in the add. He was prompt and cordial and made sure we had everything we needed to have an amazing trip. I would highly recommend booking with Phil, I would again in a heartbeat.

This was my second time using the service. Just like the last time, it was a fun trip and I'm very grateful. The only a few issues I had were that the alarm rang during the night a few times and the step was broken, so it would sometimes go out and sometimes not go back. It was also a little annoying that Phil didn't contact me at important times. Other than that, it was a great trip. Thank you very much.

What an adventure!

Phil communicated well. The RV was as described.

Accuracy- photos are out of date as the condition of the RV has deteriorated and first impressions when we picked up the RV were not good. Maintenance issues included: missing bedroom roller blind, peeling laminate furniture, broken panels/trim especially on slide-out, missing toilet seat, scratched floor. The exterior was in better condition and it still looked quite smart on the outside, apart from missing awning (noted in listing) and damage to rear right corner. The other accuracy issue that impacted us was that the inventory of the RV was not as we were expecting - the crockery, cutlery and pans shown on the photos were largely not present so we had to go out on our second day and buy plates, bowls, cutlery, kitchen knives, and a pan with lid so we could cook and eat in the RV. We realise the culture in the USA is more towards disposable kitchen items than in EU or AUS but we were expecting more inventory than was provided. We left some of what we bought behind so the next hirer should have a better experience in this regard. Value- We were keen on hiring an RV with a full-size bed (thanks to slide-out), and also preferred diesel over petrol for the better economy. We considered several RV rental companies, but thanks to the good discount on a month-long rental we paid less than an equivalent spec RV through those other companies. The slide-out worked well and gave us a queen size bed and much larger dinette/kitchen area in the evenings. After renting 5 other RVs in 4 countries where we found we could not comfortably sleep in the same bed, it was great to have the comfortable full-size bed. Economy of the diesel engine was as expected around 12mpg, but might have been better had the turbo been working reliably. We found the turbo would not work around one in three engine starts and would also cut out after around an hour of driving, which meant a choice of either stopping to turn it off for a couple of minutes (not practical on long freeway runs) or continuing with lower power which meant a higher gear and higher consumption. Cleanliness- the RV had been cleaned inside and out when it was delivered but the interior cleaning was not as good as other RVs we have hired. The floor was still quite dirty and there were dirty marks on the bathroom mirror and several of the walls. The bathroom basin, toilet and shower were clean. We bought some spray cleaner and hopefully left it in a slightly better condition than we received it. There was also no brush for the dustpan so we could not sweep the floor so had to buy another mid-trip. Communication- We had tried to agree a late morning pick up by setting the hiring start date to the day before we wanted it so we could get out of Los Angeles conurbation on our first day. The early pick up was then negotiated back to 1-2pm by Phil before we arrived, which was OK as I had managed to arrange late checkout with the hotel. However on the day 2pm came and went and we then found out that the RV was being serviced that afternoon and that had overrun - why was this not done the day before, and why were we not warned about this? Eventually Phil arrived with the RV at 4:30pm, which meant we did not arrive at our first nights campsite until after dark. The issues with lack of inventory (and I had asked for a list but was not given one) meant our first evening was rather miserable as none of our purchased evening meal options could be cooked. Both of these issues could have been addressed by clear upfront communication and we would have then made alternate plans for our first day. Other- the leisure batteries only last around 4 hours when no engine, generator, mains or solar is charging them. This means if you leave the RV in the evening in a dry campsite you risk returning to a dark van and warm fridge, as we did once. Phil is aware of the limited life but does not declare it explicitly on this listing. The inverter also sometimes makes a high pitched noise when on mains supply which is annoying but something you have to tune out in the evenings. Hopefully this can be fixed.
