We had an excellent experience with every aspect of renting this van.
From the owner being extremely responsive, to the van's amenities, and the way it drives, we could not have asked for more.
Loren, the owner, was great! We've successfully used Outdoorsy before, but he really raised the bar for what constitutes a top notch experience. He shared a video detailing all of the intricacies of the van's features well in advance of our trip. This made pick up much more fluid than it has been in the past.
The amenities in the van include a shower and bathroom which we ended up not using. However, the mattress was extremely comfortable and there were plenty of blankets and pillows. Rhe fridge and hot plate were exactly what we needed. The privacy screens are also extremely effective.
As far as driving, the van was great on the highway and at camp. It gets up to speed nicely and handles very well even on sharp turns. The back up camera is well positioned and very clear day and night making parking at a campsite very accessible. It being regular gasoline also saves some money on fuel.
Overall, this was a great experience, and I highly recommend this van.

My son and I had the best time dry camping at the lost Dutchman state park for New Year’s Eve. The camper was as described and had plenty of space for us and some friends during some windy nights where we needed to do dinner inside.
