We rented this RV last summer. At first, all seemed fine; the owner was nice and accommodating and let us look at the RV before embarking on our trip.The RV definitely has seen some wear; the upholstery is worn and ripped in places (e.g., the couch), but this didn't really bother us, especially since the owner draped a nice blanket as alternate cover over it. But I have to say that upon pick-up the vehicle was clean. What we didn't notice at that point, however, was the strong smell of pet urine - this only became clear after the RV was parked or a while in front of our house in the summer heat for packing. Still, we weren't too bothered by it, we threw some cleaner on it, and the smell got better (to be fair: the spot seemed to have been under the pull-out, so the owner might not have noticed it when they cleaned it after the last rental).What really got to us (and makes this an overall negative review) was how the owner reacted when we ran into some issue with the fridge; and into some other issues that were related to the overall age of the vehicle. On our second night, we were awakened by a loud beeping - the propane / gas alarm. As it turned out, the alarm had gone off because the RV's battery was draining - resulting from some unorthodox wiring that had been installed under the bed. All of this was somehow triggered after we had tried to run the fridge on gas for a while - which didn't work because the burner was completely rusted and dirty. All of this was explained to us when we brought the RV to a repair place the next day, in Gettisburg, PA. They fixed the electrical problem and the fridge for $220 - really good price, if you ask me. We kept the receipt, expecting that we would get the money back from the owner at the end of our trip (hint: we didn't!). Of course, we also had spent a night and a day of our week-long vacation dealing with this issue.Later in the trip, a few other things broke in the RV: One of the drawers came off the rails - we found that the rails had been fixed before; but unfortunately not properly. The rails were only held in place by a generic screw that made it only a matter of time until things would come apart. In addition, a plastic clamp that was supposed to hold the awning in place when it was rolled in also just fell apart (weathered plastic, worn by 13 years on the outside of an RV).When we brought the vehicle back, we pointed all of these things out to the owner. At that time, he was still thinking he could recoup the money for the repairs of the electrical and the fridge from outdoorsy (some insurance?); and he said that he would not charge us for the plastic clamp and the drawer. I thought that that was only fair as a) we had had to deal with the repairs during our vacation and b) the pieces that broke in addition were really just old, and (in my estimation) had succumbed to normal wear and tear. However, when it turned out that this insurance would NOT pay the owner for the repairs, he changed his tune. He maintained that he had spent "four hours to fix the drawer" (which I found hard to believe), and suddenly discovered that we had also lost the back of the remote (which did not come up during the final inspection) - and his new suggestion was to "call it even" (i.e., not to reimburse us for the repairs). We argued back and forth, without much success (on our part).In the end, we found that we had forgotten our family tablet in the RV. The owner was nice enough to mail it back to us; and I had gotten so tired of the whole affair that I didn't argue anymore when there was no reimbursement check included in the packet wit the tablet.So, in summary: things started out well, but certainly ended on a sour note.
