Ad Astra - 2021 Thor Motor Coach Freedom Elite 22HE

LOOK NO FURTHER- RENT THIS RV! I cannot say enough about our first experience renting an RV. We really lucked out with Jorge. We took a 3 week trip- 2 adults, 1 toddler and 2 dachshunds and it was our best vacation to date. We had a lot of space, packed WAY too many clothes and should have stuck to sweats and had a ball.

First and foremost, his RV is a new 2021 land impeccably clean. We learned that keeping it that way was key during our 3 weeks on the road with our toddler. We met Jorge for the pickup and he did a great job of explaining key aspects of the RV. It has been fully stocked with all amenities you could need, fresh towels and linens and even fun DVD titles to watch on the trip. Jorge is very prepared, organized and easy to speak with. I watched the 1 hour youtube video on how the RV works that Jorge sent prior to the trip and I highly recommend doing so before you get started too.

There was a hiccup with Outdoorsy at the onset where they were not able to verify my driver's license online so my husband ended up doing all of the driving. He is a great driver- I am a terrible driver so it worked out. He said that the RV drove very smoothly, and he was comfortable driving- even through the New Mexico winds that we experienced.

We stayed with friends or parked at RV parks every night and plugged in. The RV was very intuitive and easy! We did have one question about turning on the heating system (best to figure these things out BEFORE you arrive at a campsite at 11PM) and Jorge responded within minutes with instructions. It was our user error but the response time was terrific.

We got full hook up pull-thru spots everywhere we went but the RV was maneuverable enough for back-ins. All of the needed hoses and parts are neatly stored in the underneath compartment. We used The Dyrt Pro app to find campsites that fit our criteria every night which was also helpful- they have a 90 day free trial for the app.

I just love a pleasant experience like this--- with so much negativity in the world it's refreshing when you meet good people that are providing an incredible service- renting from Jorge was that for us.

Very pleasant and professional. We had a great experience with Jorge!

We had a wonderful time in this rv. The RV is beautiful, clean and runs perfectly! Jorge was just a wonderful host and let us pick it up early. He is accommodating and an all around great dude!

As a first time RV renter, I leave this review for future "1st timers" and the like.
Jorge was awesome in being flexible with pick up/drop off times.
I traveled from NC to pickup the RV in GA, and was unaware and did not think about where I would park my own car, as we met at a Walmart parking lot. Therefore, be advised of this if you are driving your own car for pick up, as I did not plan for this, and had to figure it out at the last minute.
I met with an assistant of Jorge, Josh, and he was super helpful in showing me the ins and outs, and answered all questions that I had.
The RV was clean, filled with gas, and offered many supplies and useful necessities for our trip.
The driving was okay, but did not have the best pull up inclines, as I ventured through the mountains, but I had no problems.
There were several times that the alarms (smoke detectors, I think) went off for no reason, which was a bit scary and annoying. Using the amenities were fairly easy, although I never got the oven to work.
We did not get a chance to utilize the tv.
RV's are expensive, and it is likely that any owner will be super picky about how they are utilized by renters, and I can not blame them. For the absolute best experience, I would suggest that renters understand the importance of being super careful by testing out every aspect of the van, including properly working blinds, drawers, detectors, stoves, air conditioning, tv's, and even the vent coverings.
Although I brought my own supplies, there were cleaning supplies in order to return the RV back in a cleaned condition. I followed instructions and also had help from nearby campers on cleaning and flushing the waters, which was not that difficult.
Jorge did meet with me for the return of the RV, and I believe he was having some issues with the outdoorsy app, which caused the check out process to be delayed a bit longer than I wanted, being that I still had a long drive back to NC. A broken blind string was brought up after I returned the RV, thankfully which was not to expensive to replace.
Overall, I learned a lot about RV's and considered buying my own and putting it on the market as well, but the more I considered it, I definitely don't think I will rent one again, and am no longer motivated to buy one for sharing.
