I enjoyed my time in Thing2 so much that I had to rent it again, and bring the wife along this time.
Just as before, the experience was top-notch. Michael had Thing2 cleaned up and ready to go for us. Pick-up/drop-off were a breeze.
We utilized Harvest Host to stay at Taylor Brooke Brewery/Winery in Woodstock, CT the first night and visited family in RI the second night. We had an absolute blast of a quintessential New England fall weekend. Gorgeous weather, delicious drinks, beautiful foliage, and some awesome hiking/exploring.
Thanks again, Michael for going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our weekend adventure!
Looking forward to the next one!

Thing2 exceeded my expectations.
Michael is a great host; he took the time to go through all the Revel’s systems and quirks/features and those of the Mercedes chassis. The van was spotless on pick up; fresh water full, gray water empty, cassette toilet empty and clean, and batteries/fuel full.
I took the van up to the NEK in VT to mountain bike at Kingdom Trails for the weekend and the 4ish hour drive was stress-free thanks to the immaculate condition of the van (up-to-date on service, plenty of tread on the tires, etc). The adaptive cruise worked flawlessly, even bringing the van to a full stop when needed. Combined with the lane centering and blind-spot monitoring, this rig almost drove itself. At camp, the 360 camera made parking this rig easier than a car. After parking the Revel quickly morphs into a true base camp, where it was the center of the party. Can’t wait to book Thing2 again for winter ski trips and check out all of the cool ski parking spots Michael has saved in the GPS.

5 Star Epic Experience!
Mike made the whole process of renting the camper easy and
informative, from the first conversation until we brought the
camper back.
This was our first time with this type of vehicle and we planned to
explore the coast of Maine. When we arrived to pick up the
camper he patiently and diligently reviewed all the features and
details we needed to know for a successful excursion.
The camper itself was everything he told us it would be. The
Mercedes platform was easy to drive while the engine and
transmission were smooth and quiet. The camper was very clean
when we arrived.
The Revel had many features to make camping less challenging,
for example: the storage “garage” under a comfortable bed, well
thought out lighting, and a good size refrigerator with easy access
from inside and outside of the vehicle. The size and length of the
camper is great for parallel parking when in town on a city street
while using all the camera angles (and a great spotter). We never
had to search for oversized parking anywhere we went. We also
discovered we that with this ~19 foot length van we could access National Park roads and destinations
that are restricted to other vehicles that are over 21ft.
Overall, a great experience. Many thanks to Mike for his kind
assistance and help!

Michael was awesome to worth with. The van was super clean and well equipped, and he offered other supplies for us to use if needed. Super happy with the trip and would highly recommend!

Thing2 was exactly what we needed for a week touring around Vermont with our family of three. Everything was clean and well-organized. Michael was easy to communicate with about the trip and very accommodating.

Where to begin, this was our first cross country trip and first time using a class B camper van and we couldn’t have picked a better host/vehicle. Michael was amazing in his communication, explanations and insights. He really made us comfortable and was available during our trip if we had any questions. The vehicle, Thing2, was perfect for us in every way. We lived in it for roughly a month, traveling from the Badlands, to Yellowstone, Tetons, Bryce, Zion, NV, Grand Canyon, and more. It was the trip of a lifetime and Thing2 really made it enjoyable. Even in sweltering 115 degree desert heat we were comfortable. I can’t recommend Michael and Thing2 enough, if you are considering any sort of trip, weekend ski up in VT, or long national parks exploration like we did, this is who you want to go with.

Had an awesome time with Thing2. It is a well equipped Winny Revel, so you can find pictures on Winnebago’s site. Mike has equipped it to be able to winter camp from it. He provided pillows, linens and towels, so all you need to bring is food. There is plenty of water and batteries. The servicing at the end was incredibly simple. Thing2 drives like a champ—it is a Mercedes what more needs to be said.

Great experience overall with Michael and Thing 2. Vehicle is like new and everything works as advertised. We especially appreciated Michael’s knowledge of VT and its skiing opportunities.
