He was very good with communication and was helpful when we had a question. The trailer has some wear and tear on it but everything works and worked well. Pickup was flexible and drop off was easy. He even had a hitch that he provided.

I’m too old for a tent and not proficient at pulling a trailer or maneuvering a motorhome, so to be able to have a comfortable trailer setup for me was amazing! I was able to join my kids camping again! Richard and Shawn are extremely professional, offer a spotless trailer and so easy to work with! We will definitely use their service again. Don’t hesitate!

This was my 2nd time renting The Dude, and everything has ran smoothly during both trips. The RV is the perfect size for what we needed, and all the utilities worked great. The owners are fantastic to work with, and they really make the experience stress free.
