Jenn was helpful and enthusiastic about our maiden camper van voyage from the start. She was quick to follow up and patiently answered my newbie questions. Rosey ran like a dream and provided us five days of fun, safety, and comfort from Chicago to the North Carolina beach and back. No issues, No problems, We’re ready to Rent Rosey again!

We had a great experience renting Rosey! Jen took a lot of time to explain everything in the van and how to use it. She left so many essentials in the van for us, that we only had to pack our clothes. She was always available when I texted her questions during my trip. The van itself was very well organized and decorated. She even left some food for us to snack on as well as delicious coffee. I would definitely recommend Rosey #vanlife.
