    Top notch. Could not recommend this rig more. Chris delivered ours, no problem. Super friendly, easy to talk to. Chris was really flexible with times and made an effort to make handovers easy for me (as I had changed my mind about 4 times). All the trimmings in the van made our stay like a second home. We even opened the fridge to see Chris had left us a lovely gift. Top bloke. Thanks so much.
