The RV was set up when I arrived at the cmapsite at 2 pm and his wife KAREN came and did a very extensive explanation of how everything worked. Would definitely rent from them again,

Thanks for the great rental. Everything was in excellent condition, lots of kitchen essentials were included. Pickup and drop-off arrangements were very convenient for me coming in from out of town. I definitely appreciate the included propane, it makes the drop off so much easier.
