This is the first time I have used Outdoorsy & likewise, the first time I have used an RV. I was green and hesitant to make this exchange, because one, I care and was nervous to avoid destroying someone’s valuable commodity and two, I had the wherewithal to admit that I wasn’t confident in what I was doing. I must admit that my host John was extraordinary in this entire exchange. He was flexible in his schedule to meet with me, to teach me, to coach me, to exchange the keys, to bring me the RV, to set me up for success and even offered to give me a ride home when I returned the RV. Now, keep in mind that I happened to live very close nearby, so I don’t think potential renters should expect a free ride home from the host. I will say, my host made this experience much less difficult for me and I am always very impressed with someone who puts forth so much effort. I assume he brings the energy in every booking! After a solid rain day on the trip and observing the primitive tenters’ get obliterated, I was reassured I had certainly made the right decision in using outdoorsy and booking the RV. All in all, a great experience and some good memories were made. Thank you so much to our host, who allowed us to share the Rambler with them- I wish you the best and I will come find you again when the time is ripe.

Nice seating, electric fireplace, outdoor kitchen with outside fridge. Appreciate the mat and extra chairs and even the charcoal grill with briskets.

I can’t say enough good things about this experience! I booked the camper super last minute and the owner was incredibly responsive and accommodating from start to finish. Communication was fast, clear, and super helpful, which made everything stress-free. The camper itself was spotless, comfortable, and in excellent condition, exactly as described, if not better. It made our trip absolutely perfect. I’d definitely rent from them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a smooth, enjoyable getaway!
