4.9About Lewis Barker
I am event designer with a lot of creative talent that I implemented into the remodeling of my RV. Natures colors created by God inspire my designs and events. I have had the privilege to create happiest memories throughout the world with my client's events. I love to take a trip at all possible times with my family. Nothing beats creating memories with your loved ones. Seeing places with an RV is a game changer. Connecting with them while hiking, at a lake, gazing at the stars far away from the city lights and learning about our National Parks with an RV is incomparable to our other types of trips. We disconnect from technology and connect with Mother Earth. Lake Powell, Zion, Bryce Canyon are just a few of our most memorable trips. My son looks forward to packing it up and explore somewhere new. America has so much for us yet to see. I look forward to seeing and hearing about your current and future RV experiences.

I really hoped to have a better experience and be able to give a better review. But the brake failure was obviously a huge safety concern for myself and my family that could have cost us our lives.
Lewis is very nice and I would love to see this get resolved for future renters.
Upon first speaking with Lewis to get this rental, he was quite friendly and eager to rent for his first time as I was eager to rent from him and outdoorsy for the first time. The process online was simple. When I spoke to Lewis he informed me that he was available and able to rent to me, and we scheduled a time and date for pick up after I informed him that I would be traveling to Sky Park, an area for RVs with full hook ups. Lewis then informed me that the vehicle would have no problems with that trip. He also asked for an “insurance binder” from my insurance company. I arrived at Lewis’s business location which appeared to be some sort of warehouse or work yard to pick up the RV. The RV was not ready at the agreed upon time, which was no big deal I planned to pick up early anyways to give myself more time. The mechanical portion of the vehicle appeared fine. Lewis mentioned several times that the brakes had been replaced and were “brand new and in perfect working order”. However, the brakes did fail on the way home with my entire family inside. Fluids we fine, and no indicator lights on the dash. Much or if not all of the RV had been modified or customized on the inside everything appeared clean with no sign of smokers or other smells. Several amenities were provided which was very helpful along with a bbq grill, coffee pot, and dishes. The carbon monoxide detector was triggered several times after the engine was shut off which caused great concern but turned off once we got good air flow. Sky park has full hook ups so we did not need to use the generator. The generator was aftermarket and did not appear to work the was that Lewis intended it, but we had no need for it anyway. The leveling jacks on the vehicle do not work so we were unable to level the RV.
On our way home, after coming down the hill the brakes failed. Luckily we were no longer on the hill, and hadn’t got onto the freeway yet or it could have been fatal for us. I called Lewis to notify him, and he agreed by text that he would offer his truck to get us home. We opted to take a LYFT, and Lewis by text stated that he would pay for it and try to refund half of our trip cost and give us a next trip for free. Lewis then refused to honor the refunds with the cost and outdoorsy kept my security deposit. Dispute is still pending with Outdoorsy.
Lewis’s answer
Brakes are totally fine. This instance was due to driver being unexperienced with heavy equipment. Highway 330 has signs warning drivers one being at 330/18 Split TRUCKS USE LOWER GEAR NEXT 14 MILES the driver must know how to use lower gears. Riding the brakes that long caused air in the lines. Once truck was turned off as Frank mentioned brakes did not function that's when I got the call and immediately went to take care of him. Note to all drivers read up on how to drive steep roads on Google. Is DRIVER BEWARE please if it's your 1st time. You have our full support and will answer my cell at any given time! You are welcomed to see the RV anytime before your trip.
We are excited for you to experience your next trip with our RV. You will LOVE this RV and because it's unique look you'll be the talk of the park! Thank you all for reading and Happy RVing.
