Jobit 35 trips - Joined May 2022Superhost

Jobit dropped off and had the RV set up in no time. Perfect space for my family of six. We used it for a place to sleep, and not really for the other amenities, although they all were fully functional. Took a lot of the stress away of trying to find accommodations on the St Paul area.
