My son and I had a great experience renting Vanessa. The RV is well cared for and very comfortable. Andrew was great to deal with. It's going to be hard to go back to tent camping after this experience!

We had a wonderful time with Vanessa. It was a very nice rig with everything you could want for both a long or short trip. We appreciated that Vanessa’s owner, Andrew provided dvds as we had forgotten to bring ours. Great experience and will definitely consider a future rental.

Highly recommended!
