Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
We certainly consider reasonable requests for alternate times for pick up and drop off. Our #1 goal is for you to have a wonderful experience from the moment you first see Bluey here on Outdoorsy until you return from your trip with big smiles & great memories.
Q.Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the RV easily?
A.
When you arrive to pick up Bluey we will spend roughly 1 hour going over all the little details so that you are comfortable once your out adventuring. We also provide a photo tutorial in the van that can help jog your memory. We know that renters arrive full of excitement, ready to jump in the van and GO and it's hard to remember everything while you are dreaming of yourself out on the road. We totally get it.
