Angie and Tom came in clutch as the original vehicle we rented for our trip did not come as advertised on Outdoorsy. They saved our trip by providing a quick turnaround and a vehicle that was already de-winterized (something that was hard to come by in early March!), clean and comfortable!We took the RV practically across the country and it was a safe and easy drive. Angie and Tom were quick to respond to any of our questions while on the road, and provided us with well thought solutions. All of the utility hookups were organized and easy to use. The necessary equipment was well labeled and stored underneath in a compartment that had ample space for everything we packed. The bed could be a little softer, but overall the RV was comfortable and we really appreciated all of the amenities as we boondocked for several nights!We will definitely be renting from them again!
Tom and Angie were awesome to deal with! We were looking for an affordable but nice RV. I found Tom and Angie's listing for a 2025 RV and it was the perfect spec we were looking for. We had an issue with the timing and simply reached out to them and they were able to accommodate us with an early pick up with no extra charge. The RV drove amazing and we had no problems with it. When we needed anything or had any questions Angie gave us her number where she was reachable anytime, their responses were within 20-30 minutes max. All I can say is she had a 10/10 customer service and was very approachable which was something we appreciated, her kind gestures were also very appreciated, she could have charged us for the early pick up but didn't charge us anything other than the extra miles we had over. Overall I would recommend Tom and Angie over more than 90% of these other hosts, thanks for this great service and experience renting on outdoorsy!
