Perfect Family Adventure Van!
We took this camper van on a family road trip and absolutely loved every minute! It had everything we needed — comfy bed, plenty of storage, and all the little touches that made it feel like home. Our kid thought it was the coolest thing ever to wake up somewhere new each morning, whether that was at a campsite, under trees, or near the water. The van was easy to drive and super clean, and we were amazed at how smoothly everything worked — from the fridge to the solar setup. This trip gave us some of our favorite family memories. We can’t wait to rent it again for our next adventure!

Katie was super friendly, this was our first time renting an RV from Outdoorsy. She was very patient with us, explained everything, showed how to operate the controls. Will rent again.

Our family had a wonderful experience. Edwin had everything organized, cleaned and ready to go when we picked up the Storyteller. We really appreciated the outstanding communication through the whole experience. We would absolutely rent from Edwin again. Thank you so much for making our first experience so easy.
