2023 Forest River Travel Trailer
We had a great experience renting Nick’s trailer. It was clean, in working condition, was comfortable, and had everything we needed for a fun weeklong camping trip at the beach. When we picked it up, he walked us through the ins and outs of how the trailer worked. The rental process was easy, and he was helpful and very responsive. We will definitely be renting the trailer again next time.
