Leah was a fantastic host. It was my wife's and I first time RVing and she was very helpful and very patient with all our questions. She shared much knowledge with us which made our first RV experience a positive memorable one

2024 Keystone Travel Trailer
This is our first time renting a travel trailer and was naturally nervous about how it was going to go. Any anxiety disappeared immediately when meeting Andrew and his family. On pickup day they were nice, helpful, and even excited for us to use their trailer. They kept in communication during the trip and made sure all went well for our 6 hours drive up to the North Coast of CA. Now for the trailer. On pickup, the trailer was clean and well stocked. It is super nice with a large pop out that really opens up the main area when out. It's perfect for a family of 4. The front bed is comfy and the bunk beds are huge that have space for 2 on each with the only caveat that the top bunk is too high from the floor and hard to get in and out of even with a step stool provided. We mainly used it clothing storage with the kids sleeping on the bottom together. Storage throughout the trailer is plentiful and the fridge/freeze stayed cold the entire time. We were dry camping so we were very reserved with using water from the tank in fear of filling up the grey/black tanks. We pretty much just used the toilet and on the last day of our 6th day of camping we barely hit 1/3 on both tanks. The trailer had everything to empty tanks along with gloves. Andrew labeled everything so there wasn't any confusion. We towed the trailer with a 1/2 Chevy Trailboss with the 3.0 diesel no problem once we adjusted the sway/leveling bars to match the truck. I believe Andrew tows with a 3/4 ton and the tow system was set to match that size truck. We enjoyed using Andrews trailer and wouldn't hesitate to use it again the the future. If you're on the fence, I hope this review helps. Thanks Andrew!

Do I need a special license to rent and drive an RV in California?

How much should I budget for gas on a McKinleyville RV trip?
