My boyfriend, dog, and I had a great time renting Ruby! This is our first RV experience and she is easy to drive with all the necessities from a fridge all the way down to a fire starter for campfires. Mark thought of all the details. Highly recommend!

Mark was a great host, I was able to text him anytime and he would always get right back to me. The van was exactly as described, he had everything you could think of batteries, to umbrella, to games. Extra garbage bags, and spices. Thanks for a great experience with Ruby.

Ruby is great! It handled our three day trip across Lake Erie with not problems. Ruby is easy to drive and well appointed. Mark is easy to work with and very professional. Being able to leave a car at Mark's house made the trip very easy.

Renting from Mark was easy, convenient, and comfortable. Ruby was exactly as described and in excellent condition. She's easy to drive and was very comfortable for me, my wife, and our two small dogs. Will definitely rent again in the future!

My family had a great experience in renting Ruby for our 2 week trip out west. Mark was easy to work with and available the one time we had a question. Having a generator was great for the stops we had without electricity. We diffently recommend renting Ruby for your trip.

Ruby was the perfect way to travel out west to North Dakota. She's the 3rd campervan we've rented and the best by far. Ruby is compact but has all of the amenities needed for comfortable camping. Super easy to drive and maneuver around cities, national parks and open highways. Mark was very easy to communicate with and made the rental process very smooth. We'd definitely recommend!

Ruby was awesome! We rented her for 4 nights, it was our first time driving and staying in an RV. The pop-up provided enough room for our two kids and the murphy bed was perfect for the wife and I. Mark took the time to walk us through every feature and answered all of our questions. He was very responsive in answering all of our questions. Renting her was a great experience!

Ruby was a great first RV camping experience for us. Very easy to drive to the VA, WV and KY mountains. Mark was extremely responsive and accommodating with pick up and drop off, which helped meet our schedules to get on the road quick and bring it back with optimum timing. Ruby had everything we needed for a perfect and fully contained week-long trip. We are also very appreciative that our two dogs could join us in such a nice vehicle. We will definitely repeat our rental with Ruby soon!

Mark was an awesome person to deal with! He went above and beyond in helping my first rental experience!
We did not know he supplied everything, pots, pans, blankets, utensils , spices! We really did not need to bring anything but personal items and any camping supplies. What we had brought along we did not need!
He even had “Games” This was my first experience in an RV and was a learning experience so i know what to do and expect the “Next” time! All i can say is Mark was great and the RV experience was a memory i will never forget! Learned a lot from this experience!

Ruby lived up to her name - She is a true gem. She was fun and relaxing to drive. In fact, she intuitively let me know I was a 'Drowsy Driver' to wake me up! Mark was extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with. Comfortable and easy to learn. I highly recommend this rental.

Ruby was everything Mark promised, and having AC during a July music festival was a dream! We loved sleeping in the pop top, there was plenty of storage space, and cooking meals on the propane stove was super easy (and saved us time and money). Mark was flexible with our plans, and the video he provided was helpful...we downloaded it for reference during the weekend and it came in handy.

We love, Ruby! We booked her for a weekend camping adventure with our extended family. Half of our family members had tents the other half had RVs of all types/sizes. Ruby fit right in and met all our needs. Mark is a wonderful host and connected with us on every detail; video on how to operate Ruby, soft amenities like towels/sheets, and easy pick-up and drop-off. We used the Murphy bed, which was quite comfortable. Our two 40# dogs traveled well in the spacious back area of the van and at night one slept under the pulled down bed. Though not inside the van much during the day, the screens at the side and back doors were great to let the air flow throughout the day. Temperatures dipped to upper 40’s at night and we were comfortable with the side windows cracked open, Ruby does come with air/heat. Interior and exterior lights were good too. We will definitely book Ruby again for another fun adventure!
