Cascadia - Epic PNW Mercedes Sprinter Campervan

Unfortunately, Cascadia has had to be returned to Peter, and we have had to go back to work. We spent two incredible weeks camping, in both low temperatures (21F) as well as a glorious 3 days off the grid with solar only charging in southern Nevada. The van performed in all cases, keeping us warm as we needed it and with plenty of battery power to keep the tunes going and the lights on. Peter gave us a thorough walk through of everything Cascadia had to offer, and even texted us on Xmas morning to mention something he had forgotten. Wishing we had more time to travel with Cascadia.

Cascadia is a DREAM! The vehicle is in great shape, the structural stability and sound dampening is top shelf, and the small details from the composting biowaste receptacle (toilet) to the really cool compact German Heating unit that Peter just put in. The sound system is incredible and has seamless transitions from USB to HDMI to a phone call, the subwoofer (whoa) great for impressing the kids at night in the driveway or in the woods. The sound is incredible and the ability to tune the system with the LED lights installed along the cabin recesses along the walls - wonderful integrated system. Impressive. Peter was highly communicative, on-point with the orientation, and acted as a lifeline if needed to troubleshoot any issue that came up. I waited no longer than 20 mins. for a response on how to reset a toggle, fix a burnt fuse, or linking my Android to the on board WiFi and Bluetooth.

The vehicle is easy to drive, not a challenge to squeeze through narrow streets and tight traffic. The extended tail doesn't cause issues on turns and the drive is GREAT! The increased springs and general weight of the Class B is perfect with this unit. Clean, comfortable, roomy, easy to clean and keep tidy. The is sooooo much to describe that makes this unit a wonderful experience in any condition (except those requiring 4x4!) - however it is easy to get out of the mud if you get stuck! (bucket list moment!)

Overall, nothing bad to say at all other than I was VERY SAD to have to turn it back to Peter! I am sold on having my own vehicle soon, like REAL SOON! However until then, I will be renting Cascadia and recommending it to others in my network!

Five Stars

Eric and I were virgins to Outdoorsy, this could not of been a better first experience! The van is very clean, very well stocked. Peter was very thorough with the vehicle walk through prior to departing on our coastal adventure, leaving us with complete confidence this was going to be a successful trip. The bed/linens provided are great, clean, comfortable, ..we just wanted to use our own from home, to feel more like “home” on the road. 🤗 Cooked every night on the stove top, watched a movie every night... plenty of electricity at all times. The solar panels are amazing! even in storms. cheers! Epic trip. So grateful.

Overall an excellent experience! I highly recommend renting the Cascadia. This was our first time using Outdoorsy and van camping, and we couldn't have been happier. Even prior to confirming the booking, Peter was very responsive and suggested places to visit. The checkout process was very smooth and thorough, giving us a detailed overview of how all the systems worked. We felt well prepared for the trip, and didn't encounter any surprises. Driving the van was surprisingly easy - aside from the elevated position, it felt like driving a normal car.

Inside the van was amazing, and the design was stunning. Everything you could possibly need for a comfortable trip was included, and everything was surprisingly good quality. Not the typical camping gear I was expecting. Bedding was comfortable, with plenty of blankets for warmth. The finishes are all high quality and well cared for, the lighting is impeccable, and the sound system sets it apart. Its a compact space but very well laid out, with plenty of features, and lots of storage. The fridge was large and kept all our food fresh.

The solar panels provide more than enough power to keep you going. The lowest we got the battery down to was 77%, and that was after a full night with all the systems running. The panels fully recharged that after just a couple hours on the road. The heater kept the van warm and toasty, even in freezing temperatures, and the space heats up quickly Peter even has it pre-programmed so the van is warm when you wake up.

All you need to pack is your clothes and food, and you are set for an epic trip. On our drive home, we were already thinking of the next adventures we could take with Cascadia.

We had an amazing trip with Cascadia! Peter and Tracy did an excellent job explaining all the features on the van and how to use everything before we left and they were very thorough and passionate about it! The van itself was very easy to drive and it was my first time driving a van or RV. It is also much more spacious then we anticipated! It had tons of room for cooking and the fridge was also very good sized! Tons of great additional things included in the van too! It really had everything we needed for a week and much longer! Some fun things along with great cookware was several Yeti mugs for coffee and other drinks as well as plenty of lanterns and flashlights for when it gets dark. Overall we could not have had a better experience and are looking forward to getting our own van someday! Thank you again to Peter and Tracy for sharing their van with us!

During a time when traveling is beyond a desire but a need to recover in the outdoors, this was one of the best trips we have ever had. We decided to rent Peter’s rig because of how carefully it was outfitted. It had everything. From solar power, to dishes, pans, an incredibly comfortable large bed, mood lighting of all kinds, outlets and chargers everywhere, a bumping stereo for our long ride, down to the insect repellent, chairs, and black out shades. The bed easily turned into a table and seating. The front seat swiveled around so when we were camped there was even more room. The double burner gas stove AND small oven was a dream as well as the incredible fridge. We rented the rig for more than 8 days and never had to venture back for ice or worry about food spoiling. And did we mention dog friendly!

The rig was easy to drive for being large. It honestly drive like a car. It takes diesel and was easy to fill, tank is in the driver side door.

Peter was always readily available for all our numerous questions and concerns and very much took care of us. He is a van enthusiast and an outdoor expert with lots of advice, even as we entered bear country. The ability to use this rig and have such a great vacation was worth every penny. We highly recommend this rental and know we will rent from Peter again.
