Easy to work with the owner. Great kittle RV for a family of 4 to tow behind a midsize SUV.

Overall we had a pretty good experience, despite being a much older trailer than others. We would rent this again, especially since we got to see and feel the new mattresses that showed up when we dropped off the trailer return. The owner had experience had helpful tips for trailering.This was the most stable and balanced trailer that we have pulled among the 3 that we have rented from Outdoorsy. We had one R-pod rental that had a bad alignment with uneven tire wear and really swayed on bumpy curves (very scary), but the Subaru Ascent VDC tamped it down (and its fridge did not work on gas the one night when off grid). We had another R-pod that was too heavy on the tongue and it would jerk forward and back on bumps when the trailer was level when pulling (should have raised the adjustable hitch). That R-pod also has their fridge fail to work properly on gas and drained one 20lb tank overnight. This trailer had the fridge run on solar or electric automatically with no issues.There are pros and cons with this trailer, as with any - It is wider than an R-pod and you will need wide mirrors or use mirror extensions. Due to its age, all of the cushions are a little more soft and less supportive or worn down at the edges, and the mattresses were well due to be replaced before our trip (but now they have been replaced). It had a bare minimum of needed supplies to get the job done, but we always bring everything ourselves and did not use their cooking gear and dishes. Although we forgot our spatula and they had one in the trailer. Just bring paper dishes or your favorite camping plates, bowls and mugs with you, and maybe one pot and pan - then you do not have to wash theirs at the end. Again, there is some basic lightweight tent camping style cooking gear inside, but we did not bother to open it up and see what was there. The awning was broken and removed, and a new one is being installed now, but it was not here in time for our trip (soft mattresses and missing awning is why we almost dropped from 5 star to 4 star, so score should go up now). We brought our 10 foot collapsable awing to cover the picnic table, so never needed theirs. The hitch needed to be greased, and got stuck on our 2-5/16 inch; ball when we arrived at our campground, but we were able to get it off. Finally, one of the privacy curtains for the front bed was missing, but they say it should be fixed for the next rental - we never needed it.Pros outweigh the cons - This trailer tows very well and is very stable. The fridge and freezer are a good size for several days, if you keep all of your drinks in an ice chest (which also lets you keep ice for putting in your drinks). We did not use the ice tray that came with the rental to make ice cubes, but it froze a 1L bottle of smart water overnight.. It has much more living space for hanging around inside than either the R-pod queen or R-pod bunkhouse we have rented. I wish I had taken a picture with both beds open. The two folding chairs stored under the dinette bench worked well, and were light but comfortable so we could take them with us on an excursion each day (one carry bag was torn). The AC on 30A camping spot was very cold, in fact cold enough that if you set it for max cold but low fan and leave the camper for a few hours then you may come back to the condenser frozen up on 75 degree humid days; so it needed to have the coldness turned warmer. The bathroom was not big, but qualifies as spacious vs the tiny R-pod bathrooms. The 30+ gallon water tank is right in front of the dual axles and at 1/3 full had little effect on tongue weight or stability while towing - in 3 nights we did not use even 1/2 of the 1/3 full tank. It has automatic-switching solar built in, so we did not have to worry about a gas fridge not working like before, nor worry about the batteries not charging from the car 7-pin like we did with both R-pods. However, I think that the solar power only runs the lights, heater fan, water pump, and a single DC car port (cig lighter jack); we did not even try the TV or DVD and stereo. If you need 110V alternating current you plug in the included external 110V power inverter into the 12V DC port when on solar/off grid. With power hook up there is a set of 110V power outlets at each end of the trailer. If you use CPAP and Oxygen, the outlet in the rear wall is more convenient to hook up a power strip and set up CPAP - while the one in the front is on the underside of a upper cabinet.The cost for them dumping and cleaning for us was reasonable, and the pick up and drop off time was very flexible. This trailer was very easy to pull with a 2021 Subaru Ascent with Class III hitch and tekonsha P3 trailer brake. If you do not have a brake controller, I believe they have a wireless controller you can rent. We may not be able to rent this again as it is for sale this fall, and we would have to try their new to them 2015 Jayfeather trailer if this sells, but our camping year will be over soon.

Our experience was great! Kevin made it very easy for us to pick up and return the camper. It absolutely made our trip special. I would definitely rent from him again or recommend him to a friend.

RV was as advertised. Kevin did a great job walking me through everything prior to the trip and was very flexible for pickup and drop off. We really enjoyed staying in this camper and would definitely look to rent again from him.

This was our first time renting. Kevin made it easy. Communicated well. Worked with us when our trip was unexpectedly cut short to to get a partial refund and being available to return his camper early.

This trailer met my needs exactly. It was short notice rental. Kevin was great to work with and fully explained everything. Having the generator was super since I was at a dry camp. Definitely recommend Kevin and this unit.

Great experience renting from Kevin. He was extremely responsive, flexible, and thought of many little things and extras to make our trip go smoothly. This camper was a good fit for our family of 6 and, even over a rainy weekend, we enjoyed our trip out to the forest. Next time we’re planning a trip I’ll look to rent from him first.

Kevin was amazing!! He was attentive and available and his orientation was thorough. We loved the style of camper. It was an easy set up and take down. The only mechanical issue was a slow leak from the black water tank. We had to make sure and use dirt to cover up any liquid that leaked so we would not have the smell. Lastly, we were unaware that the canopy was not functional until we were doing the orientation. That was something I was wanting so that was disappointing. Kevin was very kind to compensation for that issue. I would absolutely rent out this camper again.

Rented Kevin's camper for family trip, mom / dad / boys 10 and 5 yo. It worked out great and Kevin was very easy to work with and super helpful. This was our first time using Outdoorsy and our first time doing a legit camping trip like this for the whole family. We wanted a more basic experience (like tents, or classic pop-up, NOT a living room on wheels) but with COVID closures and such, we also wanted a full shower / bath area. This "Hybrid" trailer was the perfect blend of both. We did 7 nights at 3 different destinations. The beds flop out like a pop up, but the roof and sides are hard fixed like a real trailer. It is relatively light and we easily pulled it in the Colorado mountains with a regular V8 full size pickup. Once we got the hang of it it set up and broke down very easily and quickly, and can pretty much be done by 1 person easily (ie dad set up while Mom keeps track of the kids). One of the best parts of using this, vs a pop-up is that whenever and wherever we needed to pull over with the kids, we could instantly access the trailer, the bathroom, the fridge/freezer. our bags, etc. We did this way more often than I had imagined we would. We probably took breaks and ate lunch in view areas, pull offs, and parking areas 5 or 6 times during the trip. Super convenient. The first night before our stop, we called ahead to a pizza place for take out and when we got there we just ate right in the trailer in the parking area. The trailer is nice and has solar charing, propane, batteries, and hookups if needed. We did 7 nights and only 3 of those did we have an electrical hookup. The only difference was without electrical, we couldn't run the microwave or the air conditioning (you can run these with the generator which we took but never bothered to set up), but otherwise it was completely off grid. The fridge and freezer run cold. The heat if needed at night worked great. Stove top, water heater, they all worked and even though the trailer has 2 big propane tanks, over 7 nights with 4 people, using everything, we didn't need to access the 2nd tank at all. When we did have electric, we did run the AC which was great because that was the stop that had the hottest weather. Kevin was a great host and gave us a very thorough walk-thru of the trailer and how everything worked. He was super patient and communicated quickly, as our timing for pickup and drop-off was unpredictable. He had everything clean and ready to go. Fridge cold, water tank full, all that. He has the trailer equipped with lots of little extras that as infrequent campers, we might have forgotten like various kitchen items, everything needed to easily set up and level the trailer, an inverter charger that let us charge phones, tablets laptops etc. Even a coffee pot and coffee in case we had forgotten. The trailer has a small flat screen and DVD player and while we didn't use it much, when the kids were tired from a hard morning of activities, it was nice to plop down and let them watch something. When we showed up, we actually had the wrong size hitch / ball, and one that was not adjustable and the height would not have been right to tow the trailer. Kevin helped us remove our hitch and he had a brand new adjustable hitch which was basically exactly what we needed. That literally saved the trip, or at minimum saved several hours we would have had to spend driving around to stores looking for something. Overall a great experience and I would definitely use this camper again.
