About JOAD Enterprises - Gretchen
We are a very outdoorsy family. We bought this RV for us so that we can go and explore new places, hike, fish, and mountain bike. We wanted to be able to travel and explore new places without having to drive all the way back into town every night for a hotel and spend our evening time at restaurants. We would much rather be closer to the trail head or river, cook as a family and spend our evenings around a campfire. These are the things that we will always look back on and know it was worth the effort to make the memory. We hope that by renting our RV you can have a great adventure and make some lifelong memories of your own.

The RV was clean, simple to use, and just the right size for us. It drove easily and handled well on the road. The introduction to the RV was helpful and all we needed to have a successful trip.
The awning had been broken by the previous renters and we weren't told until the time of pick up. It would have been helpful to know ahead of time inorder to pack our own.

First and foremost, everything worked! The fridge and freezer were cold, the toilet and shower worked, and the AC was nice and chilly. Those are pretty commonly either broken or partially working in RVs. We were able to plug into a 110v plug with the 240v adapter and had no issues with power.I would definitely rent this RV again IF:* The bed sheets are replaced. They were clean, but were pilling badly which made them uncomfortable.
* The alignment is tightened. There is a decent amount of play in the steering which makes it a constant battle to steer properly.
* It's cleaned properly inside and out. It badly needed a wash on the outside. The windshield was pretty dirty and it was hard to use the mirrors because the windows and mirrors had a ton of water spots. Additionally, the inside needed a vacuum but everything else was clean.
* Replace the stereo. Even when the car and stereo were off after we parked, I kept getting requests to pair my phone with it. I eventually just deleted my phone from the bluetooth menu. Also, the rear camera is REALLY difficult to see. If there's any glare it's almost impossible.All in all it was a great RV, just needs a couple things to make it perfect.

Overall, the RV was perfect for our family of 4 (with 2 kids ages 5 & 7). This was the first time we rented an RV with a slide out, and the extra space was amazing!! Never had any mechanical issues. TV was big and well situated. We were (un)lucky enough to be on Spring Break when it was cold, so the lows were down in the 20s. The heater worked perfectly and kept us comfortably warm all night. The hot water in the shower and sink worked quickly and got super hot. Water pressure in the shower was a tad low. Upon pick up the RV wasn’t too clean - but this was b/c the prior renters returned it late the night before.A few tips if you bring kids: 1) there’s no DVD player with the TV, so either bring your own, or a connector for your tablet to the HDMI cable they provide. 2) the bunk in the cab is super spacious, bigger than the master bed. Consider putting the kids in the bed and not the bunk. 3)we fit two forward facing car seats on the same side of the dinette by removing both seat cushions.

We (4 adults + 2 kids) had a wonderful time with Gretchen around Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Ashley s great RV 101 got us ready to take the roads -- we had no RV experience before.

We had an amazing experience renting Gretchen”! RV was really well stocked and we particularly loved the corn hole game. RV drove well and there was plenty of room for our family of six. We slept and traveled very comfortably. We will definitely be renting an RV again, we just wish it could be at Grand Teton again. Owners were very communicative and helpful. Explained everything clearly and provided a very helpful cheat sheet!

Our trip in Ashley's & Bill's RV was meant to be a test of what RV camper life is all about. It gave us a window into how satisfying it can be to live in a comfortable, familiar space when away from home. It also shed light on what can happen when something fails: no electrical outlets, dwindling water, and a shutdown of interior power. Surely, we did something to cause the latter, but the Radeckys let us know that difficulties occur and we clearly did everything we could or should have done about the power issues. Overall, we had a comfortable experience in our first extended experience with an RV camper.

Really nice RV, it had everything we needed for our 2 week trip to Yellowstone. The kids are forever spoiled and will never go into a tent again! Ashley was great and went the extra mile to make sure that we were well informed on the mechanics of operating the RV with clear instructions and was super responsive when we needed info during our planning process and during the trip. thanks again!
