Shane and Janoa here!
We found this as being a much more interesting way of being in an AirB&B type business...with the flexibility of having your vacation accommodations, travel with you!
We have a 2015 Forest River MBS2401 Forester. Which is a Class C Mercedes Diesel motorhome that's only 24 feet long, very easy to drive & park, great fuel economy, sleeps 4 adults comfortably or 6 persons total with the table sleeping area. We also have a 2003 Jayco Pop-Up camper that sleeps 6 and is a great little trailer for family get-aways. We hope you choose us but even if you don't, WE HOPE YOU GO RV!
We want to protect our assets, as we are sure you would too, so we have some rules, but we feel we are setting a reasonable market price, giving away some additional nightly miles and generator use to help make this trip as affordable as makes sense...for us. Sorry.....
But here is what we are going to offer:
A thorough checkout-we will show you how to use everything
Hard Card Checklist with pictures showing you how to do everything you need doing when we aren't there
Tremendous support via phone, text, email before, during & after your trip
Discounts for longer rentals
A customer-centered rental experience that provides amenities and services a lot of other providers don't.
For sure we are here to run a business...but you are our guests and we want to help you make the most out of your trip. That is what we want to tell you about our business! Come check us out please and let us show you what we want to do for you and help us learn how to be great along the way.
Sincerely,
Janoa & Shane

Great experience. So glad we could bring our dog! The rig was clean and ran perfectly. Shane’s videos really helped; very much appreciated. As the fleet grows I will be renting again and again. Thanks Shane!

Recommendations
Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Lake Michigan Road tour, all those beautiful lakes in Minnesota, the BadLands S. Dakota, Packers game in Green Bay...so many great things within reasonable striking distance of Chicago. Have you seen Door County Wisconsin and eaten the best cherries ever? Washington Island and the Lavender farms? Come see them with us!
Have a wedding coming up? Great item for a Bride or Grooms quarters day of at an outdoor venue.
Long road trip to grandma's and she doesn't have room for everyone..travel in comfort for the kids, keep them entertained...and have your own privacy when you get there.
Taking your kid to college for the first time and you have sooooo much stuff??
My favorite is being parked near a quiet lake front camp site, fire crackling, stars shining...and when the mosquitoes come...escape to my air conditioned sanctuary and view the lake through my windows.
Other things to note
Myles represents a significant investment for us and we certainly want your experience to be excellent and we want to be able to use this RV for other guests in the future. So we have some certain limitations of use and requirements
You MUST purchase the daily insurance through Outdoorsey, otherwise, we cannot rent our motorhome to you. The cost for this type of vehicle is too high for us to risk without that kind of protection-we try and make this up by offering more free daily miles and generator use, along with a reasonable nightly rate. However, the insurance does not cover the automatic canopy, so it will either be tagged out or you can sign a supplemental agreement agreeing to pay for the canopy and use it.
Boondocking (dry-camping, camping with no electric or water hookups) is only allowed with a pre-approved destination & a clear understanding of the functions necessary to operate the rig when off the grid. A higher risk of our need to retain your FULL security deposit exists when using Myles in this manner.
Dogs are welcome on a case by case basis. I'm sorry, we prefer not to host any other friends of the animal kingdom.
Myles must be returned in a reasonable state of cleanliness to avoid excess cleaning fees. This includes:
Dumping of the Black THEN Gray tanks before arrival, if they have been used
Kitchen cleaned, Refridgerator Cleaned, all spills on the floor cleaned; bed linens piled by the table, bathroom reasonably cleaned and wiped down; ALL SAND REMOVED. There is a checklist that will be included in your renters guide we will provide at checkout-but we want you to know to help you make your decision beforehand.
No offroading or roads that are excessively muddy or run the risk of getting stuck, please.
Please, No Smoking in or near the vehicle, any lingering scent tobacco, recreational drugs, or vape will result in us taking the full security deposit-please don't, my wife can sniff out anything...so please don't
Check In/Out- We rent by the day, not the night. What this means is we make the vehicle available in the morning for you to be able to leave, instead of making you pick it up the night before...and me charging you for that extra day you may not get out of it... this IS good for you. It also means you get to drop it off late in the afternoon, so coming back on a Sunday...it can be a leisurely weekend.
Pick up window is between 7-9 AM return is no later than 8 PM. I can at times, be flexible on the pick-up window, at my discretion, we CANNOT be flexible with the return time unless circumstances outside of your control such as OUR rig causing you a documented problem, causes you to be late. We may have someone else booked the next day and we will need time to clean and sanitize for our next guests. A Late charge of 1.5X the nightly rate will be applied for a drop off after 8PM. (Why 1.5 you may ask, a late return runs the risk for me to have to cancel for our next guest, delay them, cause me negative feedback and a host of horrible things...please be on time)
Fine Print: This is not a comprehensive list, the Renter Guide we provide to you at the time of checkout will have a complete list of items that would require forfeiture of your security deposit or additional damages. But these here should help you decide if Fluffly the cat is allowed or if you can park Myles in the great mudflats of Mississippi. And if you want to do either of those....maybe we can't help you out this trip,
Free cancellation for 48 hours after booking, as long as you cancel more than 14 days before departure.
If cancelled more than 7 days prior to departure:
Insurance is refunded
75% of the booking total is refunded
The service fee is not refunded
If cancelled within 7 days prior to departure:
Insurance is refunded
50% of the booking total is refunded
The service fee is not refunded
Mileage

If you exceed the included hours you will be charged $4.00 per hour.

Headed off-the-grid? Make sure you have a portable RV generator and know how to use it. Outdoorsy community member Mike Jackson shows you how.

Great experience. So glad we could bring our dog! The rig was clean and ran perfectly. Shane’s videos really helped; very much appreciated. As the fleet grows I will be renting again and again. Thanks Shane!

Shane’s RV was a perfect size for our family of four. More than adequate space for everyone to relax, eat and sleep on our 12 day trip from Chicago to the Grand Canyon and back. Shane was super helpful answering quick questions for this RV newbie. Really appreciate the quick responses, it made the trip a breeze! Would definitely rent again from Shane. Highly recommend!

Rent with confidence! Shane and Janoa made the reservation and rental process a breeze. Great communication, friendly reminders and thorough w every thoughtful detail. We were met curbside with Myles running and warmed-up. A 20min walk-through and we were on our way. Myles drives great, no too big on the streets and yet still plenty of space. Once parked, set-up was easy..all the leveling blocks, power and water/waste connections you need were included and easily accessible. The layout was great and the slide-out made it even better. A press of a button and we had all the space we'd need for a family of 3. The thoughtful touches like the smores pack, keurig w assortment of k-cups, camp chairs, gas grill and more made the trip all the easier. Grab your clothes, a stop at the grocery store and hit the road! We will DEFINITELY being seeing Myles again!
Shane’s answer

Excellent vehicle, very well maintained, and clean. More spacious than I imagined and very easy to maneuver for a novice RV driver. Easily accommodated a family of 4. Shane was excellent to deal with in all regards.

Shane has the vehicle fully stocked with everything you’ll need for your camping trip. Very clean vehicle with great gas ( diesel) mileage. I wish I was notified prior to booking that the awning and tv we’re out of use. Otherwise would definitely book again. Plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 children.
Shane’s answer
Thanks for the review Daniel and glad you enjoyed your trip. The TV, thankfully, was working at the time of your booking, unfortunately it was broken by the previous renter a day before your trip and the part needed to fix it wasn't available, we also made sure to compensate you for that lack of functionality. In our rental description it does talk about the high possibility of damage to the awning and that it isn't covered under Outdoorsey insurance-so we only let it be used under specific circumstances. But we do thank you for renting from us on Outdoorsey! We would love to have you back!
