I had a great experience taking the van to Big Sur over four days. Edwin is a good communicator and has stocked the van with a range of cookware and utensils. We just added food, bedding, and camp chairs. The van is a Storyteller Overland, which has the best design IMO. The control system for lights, climate, etc is easy to use.

Edwin was an awesome host. He was extremely responsive and helpful to any questions that we had. The Storyteller Overland was the perfect vehicle for our trip out to Trona Pinnacles and Alabama Hills. It was very simple to learn and operate the fresh and grey water systems, and Edwin provided all the necessary tools and equipment needed to enjoy a great overlanding experience. Would definitely recommend and would want to rent again in the future.
Edwin’s answer

Amazing host, amazing rig and amazing customer service. Edwin was always there a message or call away to answer all our questions from before booking till we completed our vacation. He takes pride in delivering quality service and I would highly recommend him and his RV for anyone trying it out first time. You will get all the necessary guidance to feel comfortable. The RV was very clean and well maintained and we felt guilty to return it with all the dirt and bugs on the windshield from the road trip.
Edwin is highly dependable, very flexible with the pickup annd return time windows and you can’t go wrong picking his RV and him as your host. Looking forward to renting again from you Edwin. And thank you for all the help and support during the rental period.

If adventure calls your name, the Storyteller Overland MODE B is the perfect rig. Built on a rugged AWD platform, it drives more like a big SUV than an RV and handles highways, mountain passes, and forest roads with ease. My family loved it—very spacious and comfortable.

We had a fantastic adventure in Edwin's van! He's an amazing host he was so responsive he was available to answer questions he helped us understand how to use the van he really cared about setting it up and making it beautiful, pristine, and clean,The climate control system was fantastic and the magnetic shades that blackout the windows are insulated and make the interior super private and warm. This van is top of the line and so is the service Edwin gave us! we are already planning for our next roadtrip. Edwin even checked in with us after we got done with our trip just to make sure we had a good time and had any feedback to share. 5-stars for service and for the experience!
Edwin’s answer

We had a wonderful experience renting from Edwin! He’s considerate, super helpful, and very easy to communicate with. Before our trip, Edwin sent us detailed instructions on how to use the RV and even shared nearby dump station locations for our return. That made the whole trip—and the return process—smooth and hassle-free.
Edwin’s answer
Thank you so very much Geng for the great review!! Thank you for returning chickpea back in premium condition. I really appreciate it. I hope to rent you again soon.!! with a warm regards and gratitude Edwin

Edwin was awesome. He checked in nearly every day to see how the van and our trip was going. The van was equipped and even over equipped for our travel with lots of plates and dishes and appliances. There was a known issue with the rear door not unlocking sometimes. Edwin explained this and I accepted this risk. Unfortunately the rear door situation deteriorated during our trip to the point where the rear door could no longer be opened. Edwin took the van to the dealership the next day to get this fixed.
Edwin’s answer
Thank you so much David for the great!! I really appreciate it so very much and thank you so much for returning the band back in perfect condition! My apologies again for the rear doors as I took it to the dealership right away for repairs!!
Hopefully, I can rent to you again soon!!
With warm regards and gratitude, Edwin

We had the best time taking Edwin’s van up to the redwood national and state parks. The van has everything you need, is great to drive, and so so comfortable for camping. We especially loved the lighted awning for making camp feel extra comfortable. After experiencing van camping I can guarantee there’s no better way to road trip. Edwin was the most accommodating host we’ve ever had. He was flexible, understanding, and went above and beyond in every category from picking us up at the BART station to dropping us back off at the end of our trip. You will be so lucky to get to experience your trip in this van, but you will be even luckier to get to meet Edwin. He is excellent people with an excellent van.
If you have the chance to rent this - do it! It makes for the best trip ever!

Edwin was a great host and the van is pretty rad. This was my first time driving a Sprinter Van and his instructions and videos before the trip were very helpful and clear. Whenever we had questions during the trip his responses were almost immediate - awesome communication! The van itself had no issues and provided the functionality and versatility we needed for our trip. Would definitely rent from Edwin for future trips.
Edwin’s answer
Thank you so very much Chris!

We had a lovely time traveling in the van! Edwin’s van was well-equipped and in pristine condition! The Storyteller build and quality is amazing and clearly superior to other RV brand vans like the Solis. Easy to drive and park. It had everything we needed. What a luxurious experience to be able to take a warm shower at the end of a long day, with plenty of water capacity (fresh and grey water)! Edwin was also a great host, proactive and very easy to communicate with.
Edwin’s answer
Vivian, thank you so very much for returning the van in perfect condition!! Also very nice and friendly!! Looking forward to renting to you and your lovely family again!!!

A+ 100% Hiiighly recommend. Took mountain bike on solo trip up CA Coast; Jenner, Sea Ranch Anchor Bay, Navarro River, Dillon Beach, quiet and beautiful. On the way back north of Stinson Beach a tree fell over Highway 1, just turned around and parked near Dillon Beach, woke up to dear outside window and sound of ocean. Cabin lights, front chairs that swivel, auto electric awning, fridge, hose to 🧽 off bike … nice touches. Comfortable bed. 6 cyl diesel engine powerful handled well including on windy roads. There’s a French press, but I plugged in Nespresso. XL Specialized electric Mtn bike fit under bed in back. Camper is cleaaan and well equipped. Owner Edwin has good vibes, attends to detail, and takes good care of Van in between renters. Pick up and drop off Castro Valley was breeze. 1st time renting on Outdoorsy but have a feeling Edwin sets a high bar, not just bc of the vehicle but bc of his vast knowledge and low key way to communicating. Snag this van or another… you’re gonna love it. As Navajo say, “Walk in Beauty.”
Edwin’s answer
James, thank you so very much for the wonderful review!! I sincerely appreciate clients like you really love the vehicle and have the best time ever!!! I’m looking forward to renting to you again and once again, I sincerely appreciate the review!!! Also thank you for bringing the vehicle back in perfect condition!!!
