About Carl's RV rentals

I always wanted an RV. I saw a total eclipse in La Paz, Mexico in 1991 and felt my two boys should see one, so I bought my RV to see the total eclipse of 2017 with them and their mom. We ended up wandering through Utah, Colorado and on into Wyoming and boondocked on a ranch in "JAY EM". We met eclipse watchers from all over. It was a lot of fun, and the RV gives you a real sense of freedom. I would like to spend a year or two travelling all across the US someday.

Carl was a great host. He explained everything and knows his vehicle inside and out. I had zero issues, zero questions, zero concerns. Vehicle works, drives, functions as described. It was comfortable and provided an amazing family trip. 5 stars..

Carl's 2016 Thor Chateau was a wonderful experience. We had always wanted to rent a Class C motorhome to compare to our travel trailer. Carl was very informative and answered all of our questions preceding our pickup very quickly. He even communicated to me that it was running rough so he had it tuned up prior to our arrival. On the day of pickup, Carl went over everything we needed to know before we left. He had everything already topped off for us so all we had to do was head out to our first destination and enjoy ourselves. His RV went very well in the high winds that we experienced during our travels. I guess his beefed up suspension worked. On our return, we topped everything off the way we found it and met Carl at the drop off point. The return process was just as easy as the pick up. If we were back in his area we would reach out to him again for another rental. We would give Carl 5 Starrs for his 2016 Thor Chateau with the beefed up suspension.

It was awesome dealing with Carl and taking his RV for a spin. Since the start it has been a wonderful experience, he has been very open, friendly and communicative. His RV is well maintained and drives great. Will definetly rent it from him again!

Carl knows his stuff! He made our first time in an RV seem so easy, any time we had an issue he was ready to help. Wish I could give more stars! Highly recommend!

Great experience touring Utah/Arizona in early Nov. Carl is very thorough, detailed, and was a pleasure to rent from. Take care of the RV and he'll take care of you! He has troubleshooting and how-to sheets in the RV so our RV inexperience was no issue. Immediate text response on two questions we had during the trip and a quick question just after renting; extremely responsive. Very flexible on pick-up and drop-off. The RV itself drove great with no issues. Four beds, plenty of room for the four of us when parked, easy operation of the RV features (bed conversion, dumping, slide-outs, etc.), easy to level, and easy to hook up at RV parks. Great overall experience, will rent again!

Our family of 5 had a great experience renting from Carl. Communication was excellent and it was nice to be able to quickly text about any questions we had while on the trip. We had a chance to use the furnace and the A/C in the same week. We definitely plan on taking another RV trip as a family based on our experience!

Carl is very responsive and easy to work with. He answered a couple quick calls and got back to me with timely answers to texted questions.

Carl was helpful and reasonable but was caught off guard about extreme clean condition it needed to be left in.
