John was great to work with and his rv was perfect for our trip. My wife and I drove from Chicago to Florida to take our daughter to college. On the way back, we camped two nights in the Great Smoky Mountains. This camper van was a great way to travel. We had a scary moment with a tire failure on the highway, but roadside assistance was able to get us back on the road. We were also able to communicate with John throughout the process. I would definitely recommend renting this van.

We had a great experience. John was very organized, thorough, and responsive in his communication and walkthrough of the van. It was comfortable and easy to drive. We had everything we needed. We’d recommend this rental to others!

First time booking a camper van on Outdoorsy. John was quick with his responses and detailed with his walk thru. He was super friendly and overall cool guy. The campervan was everything we needed plus more. Thank you John!

This was our first renting with Outdoorsy and camping in an RV. John was very helpful and organized. He had all the paperwork ready and spent time explaining all the workings of the van. We texted a question from the road and he responded right away, which was reassuring. The van was fun and had us thinking about future trips on the road home.

We rented John’s RV for 8 days for a trip from Chicago to Florida. John was very organized with detailed instructions on the RV itself and set up/supplies in the RV. Prompt communication from start of rental process to end. RV was very easy to drive and maneuver into regular parking stalls or outdoor lots. We traveled from winter to summer weather, stayed comfortable and all systems worked well. Would rent again!

John is a wonderful owner. Very patient and easygoing. John thoughtfully prepared everything we needed on trip. The RV is new, well equipped and nicely maintained. And the size is perfect for any outdoor parking lot. Especially during the Covid-19 days, driving this RV to California for a business trip is an ideal choice we made.

Amazing RV but more importantly amazing owner. Super organized. Has check lists for everything and even the user manual video saved on a tablet in the RV just in case. Extra batteries, they are in there. Extension cords, they are in there. We plan on renting from John again. Hopefully this time for a lot longer!

We truly had an amazing time with Johns RV! It was everything we hoped for and more. Literally anything you think you need, John has. RV was fully stocked with cookware. Comfortably slept 4 adults, we always felt like we had plenty of room. We never used the shower but toilet was easy to use. I would highly recommend this RV for your next trip!

This is the perfect van! We didn’t want to give it back. Has absolutely everything you need and more. John is so professional and quick to respond. Everything was so easy from start to finish. We will definitely rent again.

My family rented this RV for 8 days and drove West to national parks. It was a great experience. It is a brand new RV, nice and clean. Very easy to drive. The owner is very knowledgeable and responsive. Answered my questions very quickly. He is also super organized and provided a lot more supplies in the RV than we expected. Highly recommended.

John was super helpful and easy to work with. I was super appreciative of his attention to detail and thoughtfulness. The van was very nice but the toilet was broke so there was a direct open route from the toilet bowl to the cassette container, which smelled awful despite no solid waste in it. We kept the seat closed and bathroom door closed the whole time but that really impacted the ability to enjoy the van. I’d make sure that’s fixed prior to renting and it sounds like the owner is on his way to getting it fixed. The ride was noisy while on the road but very easy to drive. The sleeping arrangements were fair, plenty of room for an adult and 2 kids. Would recommend bringing a mattress topper for comfort. The van had all supplies needed and we were well stocked. I loved how you can open it all up and have bug netting and that there were privacy covers for the windows. This was my first experience renting an RV and it worked out well and would definitely recommend this one as long as the toilet gets fixed. Thanks John!!

The owner, John, was excellent, however, the RV which was had a few issues

Very good almost brand new van. Well stocked with every thing you need in terms of pots and pans and utensils. John was a pleasure to rent from. He was very communicative and helpful, and sincerely wanted us to have a good time. It was a great experience for our family of 4 with a 5 and 1 year old. If you're thinking of taking a little one, note that a pack and play fit just perfectly on top of the rear bed, and I secured it with some webbing so it doesn't fall into the trunk area. My wife then slept next to that, and I slept upstairs with the 5yo. We were comfortable, and used the heat when outside Temps dipped into the 40. All in all 10/10 and we would rent this van again!

The RV was really comfortable and clean. The pickup and drop off process was seem less. The owner made sure we were comfortable with all the aspects of the RV functions.
