We rented the Wild Kitty after friends rented with Adam last year. Great communication, delivery flexibility, and nice people, too! The trailer was perfect for us and our 1 year old.

Oscar made this whole experience so easy. We booked the trailer as holiday accomodations for my husband, me, and our dog in the driveway of my parent's (tiny!) house. Oscar set the trailer up before our arrival and picked it up after we left. The trailer itself is terrific, with a cozy double bed and two bunks. My nieces loved to hang out in the trailer and watch DVDs while Grandpa watched his football in the house, and it was great to be able to shower in the trailer instead of waiting for 8 others to finish showering in the main house! It was stormy and windy during our trip, but we were very cozy in the trailer. We'll definitely book again in the future, and my nieces want to "sleep over" in the trailer too next time!

Chris’s RV was exactly as described. He arrived at our campsite ahead of time to set everything up and was kind enough to wait for us so he could give a full walkthrough of how everything worked. We were a group of five adults and fit very comfortably. The RV was stocked with everything we needed—kitchenware, pillows, extra blankets, toilet paper, paper towels, towels, and more. We initially had a small issue with the hot water, but Chris responded immediately and helped us troubleshoot it right away. Thank you, Chris, for letting us use your RV. We had a great experience!
