Sebastian was great to deal with, highly recommend. Great trailer!
Tom R. - Jun 2026
The RV was in excellent condition, very well maintained, and spacious. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the entire RV was clean and well organized. Sebastian was a fantastic host. He delivered the RV, helped us with the setup, and made the process very easy. He was also flexible with timing and responsive to our needs. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend both the RV and Sebastian as a host.

We rented Ted's motorhome and all family members enjoyed the trip. Easy to drive and to park with no hassle. Thanks to back up camera. I'll recommend Ted's motorhome for your family's adventure this summer.
Dennis B. - May 2026
Thank you Ted! It was our second time renting this unit from Ted. He is extremely easy to deal with and communicate very well. The unit was spotless clean. It was super easy doing our pre-trip walk-through and equally as easy doing our end of trip walk-through. The unit is stopped very well with all the essentials that you need. Lots of bedding and towels. I would highly recommend renting this unit from Tedd.
