Phil was an excellent host. He was always available if we had any questions. This was our first RV trip and being 27 weeks pregnant I was skeptical. Minnie was able to provide all we needed for comfort and peace of mind. Easy to drive and operate including dumping the tank, which we did easily with no problems. I would recommend to rent for any upcoming trip. My boyfriend and I had an amazing time on our baby moon.

This one was of our first travel trailer vacations and we had lots of questions, but Philip was always available and ready to answer, send helpful tutorial/how-to videos and took the time to explain everything . The trailer it self wasn’t perfect-as advertised- but everything worked and it was comfortable, cozy and functional. we sure made memories !! Thanks Phil!!!

We recently rented a Sprinter van through the Outdoorsy app and while the booking process was smooth and communication with the host was easy, there were a few issues worth noting.
