About Phil Black

Ever since I was a small boy I loved the outdoors. My favorite thing to do since I could remember was to make lasting memories of places and people that I visited. This love for nature and the wilderness has not stopped. This is why I love RVing and am passionate about sharing this experience with you. People generously shared their trailers and rigs with me and my family over the years and it is now my turn. When not rented I love going out with my 3 kids, 2 dogs and whatever adventure is in our souls. This is the legacy we get to pass on to my kids. I hope you enjoy our RV as much as we do. Our Mission is to create Xtraordinary Experiences! We make it easy for you to take your shoes off and relax. We cater to families that are looking to bring the outdoors to their children's life. We care about our client's experience, bringing positive customer service to you and creating an environment of fun and exploration at a cost that most families could afford. If you are looking for someone that will care about your trip as much as you do. Don't hesitate! Take that trip, meet some new people, get closer to those you love. This is what makes a life worth living.

Memories made on trips with Phil Black's RVs

We were brand new to the glamping experience. Bryan was so helpful in the initial walk through to show us how everything worked. He even helped with driving tips since the RV has a wide swing. We had a great time on our trip. Everything was in good condition and worked great. The hosts were very easy going to accommodate our pick up and drop off time preferences. We would definitely rent from them again. Thank you Bryan and Phil!

A truly outstanding experience. Before we picked the RV up, the owner and Adventure consultant were in contact with us about our needs and any questions we had. Very professional and their integrity were to match which is big in my book! My family had a wonderful and safe trip and we will definitely be renting from them again!

Phil and The Adventure Coordinator made the trip worth it. It was like my family took care of me. They thoroughly set me up and walked through the RV setup and hook up. Even answered questions late on one of my nights camping. The RV worked really well and drove great. Very comfy.

Phil’s answer

Anthony thank you so much for being a A+ Adventurer with us. You brought back the RV is amazing condition. We love when people treat the RV as if it was their own pride and joy! We look forward to seeing you soon!

It was a great trip. The service we got from Bryan was super friendly and helpful. We did a week long trip and had no particular problems with the RV.

Me and 4 of my close friends went on a 2-week trip in this RV to explore the state of California and all of the cities, coastlines, and national parks the state has to offer. This was our first time using an RV and we had a blast learning the in’s and out’s of the vehicle while using it to our advantage. All of the features of the RV worked and Bryan was always a short phone call away 24/7 to answer any questions we had. We definitely felt that we did this trip right by using this vehicle to traverse the state as it comfortably slept 5 adult men and easy enough to maneuver after some practice in a parking lot to learn it’s dimensions. I highly recommend doing business with Bryan and Phil.

The RV was perfect for our family reunion in Ramona! Phil and Bryan were great!! Bryan went over all the details of the RV with us at pick up time and even checked on us on our trip. Highly recommend these guys!!!

Renting this RV (The Rig) was a good experience. We were a family of 6 (3 adults, 2 kids, 1 baby), we had plenty of sleeping and living space. The Awning and extended living space was a nice plus. The day of the pickup Bryan did a training on how to use the RV and what to expect. The Rig was well supplied and had thoughtful details, everybody in the group loved the experience and the creature comforts. I will be looking for this RV (with Phil and Bryan) for our next RV trip. Thanks for the great experience.

Phil and Bryan made our family camping trip very easy. They were so helpful throughout this process. The RV is great! It’s roomy and clean. We received a 5 star welcome, including our puppy. They even set up the camp ground’s tables with cool table cloths and the RV awning with lights. Bryan was available through the duration of our stay at the camp grounds. The best part was the delivery, set up and at the end when they showed up to pick it up. It was very convenient. We highly recommend renting from Phil. Thank you and Bryan for the awesome customer service and for allowing us to enjoy your RV.

Phil’s answer

Ernie thank you for the kind words. Bryan said you and your family were amazing clients. We thank you and we look forward to be of service to you soon!

This RV was perfect for my family of 5. We drove from San Diego to Yosemite. Was easy to drive and get the hang of. The RV has the perfect living space, kitchen, bathroom, shower, and sleeping arrangements for a week long trip. The fridge and freezer worked perfectly. We were spoiled with the microwave and stove. The generator and battery worked great and was an added bonus! Adding water was simple and the hot water was a luxury. Clearing the black and grey water was very easy. Phil showed us the rig before we left and had so many great tips that helped us out tremendously. Brian was equally as helpful and responsive. We will absolutely rent this RV again.

Phil’s answer

Michele we are super happy that you and your family had an extraordinary time. You and Christian were so much fun to witness your progression to learning about RVing. We loved how you used every aspect of this RV as it was intended and brought it back in great condition. It was used and not abused, thank you! We look forward to serving you and your family in the future.

Phil’s Rv was just what my family needed (4 people, 2 adults and 2kids) Phil was very communicative throughout the whole trip, and the RV met all my family needs. It has ice cold Ac, so rest assured you will sleep in comfort. Also the bed is supper comfortable. If your family is looking for a nice get away, look no further as this RV will meet all your needs.

Phil’s answer

John thank you for being an ideal renter. The Rv came back looking great! I appreciate how you communicated throughout the rental, and I am super stoked that your family was able to enjoy the trip in comfort! It's not easy with two young children and I am thrilled that we were able to make the trip easy for you all. Please come back soon!

This was not a great experience,
The RV is super old not as what the website says.
The inside most of the stuff did not work.
The table has a piece of wood that was suppose to hold the table. However, it dropped our plates multiple times. Spilled the hot water on us.
Second the awning did not even work, it had patches with sip ties on it so he basically is trying to charge us for something that was already broken.
We paid for a extra fee of cleaning and we didn’t even return the camper that dirty and he’s trying to make more money off of that. Overall the expander inside would get stuck almost every single time we would have to push it manually in order to work so that needs to be fixed as well. Overall not a good experience would not recommend renting this RV.

Phil’s answer

Dominique, we are so sorry your experience was less than extraordinary. We pride ourselves on creating great experiences for our renters. We are a little confused that the renter who was actually with the rental did not mention that the trip was bad, instead he said they have a great trip. Beyond that I want to mention that the age of the vehicle (2007) is in the listing. Outdoorsy is very diligent in making sure the vehicle is cross checked through the VIN id. Regarding the awning, it was told to use by the driver they were not going to need the awning, therefore not being trained on the proper procedures, yet when it was returned it was evident it was used and damaged. Dominique, in the description of the RV we state there is a $100 cleaning fee. The fact you said that "we didn't return the camper THAT dirty implies that it was returned in the condition that needed cleaning. Besides the fact that the RV was returned with the black and grey tanks full, the RV and propane 1/2 empty. We had the slide inspected on 3/15 and it was found to be in working order. We are people that want to offer value, an incredible experience and have a high level of integrity. We wish you the best~
