Recommendations This rig is setup for a quick weekend away to the lake or a long road trip across country. So far we've been out to Colorado, up to MN, down to TX and we are heading out to the outer banks with it this summer. Other things to note Please treat our camper as if it was your own. We expect you to let us know if anything breaks. Most campers will have some loose trim, small things that are easy fixes if you happen to cause any damage during camping just let us know right away. We realize things happen as long as its not extensive damage that will require a professional to repair we are pretty easy. Clean up after your pets. We have a fur baby ourselves but usually doesn't go camping with us on long trips. We are open to allowing pets but don't make us regret that decision. No smoking inside the unit or near open doors/ windows. No bachelor/ bachelorette parties without prior consent.

Kristel was terrific to work with (great communication) and their RV/Camper was FANTASTIC! Great space for our family, everyone had their own sleeping areas. Our 5 & 7 year olds loved the loft space. We arranged for Kristel to deliver the RV to our campsite in advance, and pick up after we left. So smooth and convenient, my other family members were jealous. I would recommend Kristel and her RV to anyone looking for…

Our family's experience was outstanding using Nathan's camper. Nathan was easy to communicate with and the camper had everything a person could ask for. We would definitely rent from Nathan again. Thanks Nathan. The Peterson's
