Responsive staff, ownership neglectful. Staff are generally responsive, helpful, and professional during pickup. However, owner communication is poor for major defects, such as a non-working rear door, leading to unresolved issues and accusations of false advertising.

Easy driving, amenity-rich, with issues. Guests praise its easy driving, smooth ride, and generous 200 miles/day. It's equipped with camping gear and USB charging. However, some vehicles show significant wear, including non-functional rear doors, leaks, broken latches, and unreliable heating systems.
