We went on our first RV trip as a family and had a fantastic time. The host was communicative and the RV was clean and worked really well. We will for sure rent again.

We had a great experience renting this 29-foot RV from Stanislav. We picked it up at Swartz Bay in Victoria, traveled up the east coast of Vancouver Island, crossed over at Powell River, and made our way down the Sunshine Coast to Vancouver before returning it to Swartz Bay. The RV itself was very nice and everything worked as it should. The battery was particularly impressive—we were able to stay two full days on battery power without any issues. The generator also worked perfectly, and overall the camper was comfortable, reliable, and well equipped. Stanislav was also very helpful and made the pickup and drop-off at Swartz Bay easy. He offers delivery and pickup there for an additional fee, which was very convenient for us. One piece of advice for future renters: plan your route carefully if you are crossing between Vancouver Island and the mainland. We ended up taking five different ferry crossings during our trip, which added a significant amount to the cost. If we did the trip again, we would plan a route with fewer ferries. Overall, we really enjoyed the RV and would happily rent from Stanislav again.

Mr Yi has been very helpful in sharing the information about the vehicle. For me it was the first experience. Mr Yi's inputs were very helpful. The vehicle was in a very good condition and my family enjoyed a lot. Mr Yi was very flexible and accommodative regarding the time. I will say it exceeded my expectations in all aspect. Thanks
