The motorhome we rented wasn't in super condition but it was okay But once on the road the problems began The house battery's weren't properly connected So anywhere we went we needed to use the generator for basic stuff The black tank leakt a little bit that wasn't really pleasant And we had also some other electrical issues We called the assistants a few times and we went to the service center for 3days in total out of our 3,5week vacation And still the same problems where there although they said everything was fixed So it was a nice vacation but could have been a lot better with a motorhome without such critical issues

We’re glad to hear you were still able to enjoy your vacation, but we’re really sorry that the motorhome issues took away from the experience. The issues you experienced are not the level of reliability we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating that must have been during such a long trip. We appreciate you sharing both the positives and the challenges. Feedback like this helps us improve the quality and consistency of our vehicles so future trips can be as smooth as they should be.

Overall, the RV was nice and spacious enough for my family of 5. However, the shower head was too soft, and we couldn't even wash out the shampoo from our hair. It was hot like we were in a pre-warming oven the air was horrible we even started the RV and let it run to see if that would help but nope. Then on our way home we were stuck on the freeway for over 2 hours it was shut down due to an accident and the compressor wouldn't stay on. I personally think they need better air units. Especially for the price of renting the RV and being miserable.

I rented a motorhome for the second time. The first time was a very good experience, the second not so much. The motorhome was very old and worn out; the bathroom was leaking water from the shower, and the toilet was also leaking. Inside the motorhome, the front panel behind the steering wheel was all loose, shaking throughout the entire trip.

I specifically reserved the smallest Class-C motorhome. When I went to pick it up, I was informed none were available. While I was offered a larger vehicle, even at reduced cost, it is not what I wanted. I was very specific about wanting the smallest Class-C motorhome. I would like to rent from you again this coming September, how can we ensure I actually get the type of vehicle I specifically ask for? On the brighter side, Marissa was an absolute delight to work with.
