About christopher Dean
Hello! I’m Christopher! Originally a Richmond, Va native now living in Oregon, I’m a small business owner, new experience lover, avid National-Parker (~25 so far!), and adventure dog/adventure cat dad! One of my favorite things to do is brave my way through National Parks at challenging times — hiking into the Grand Canyon during a blizzard, during a government shutdown, as an example. I love exploring the pop up towns & cities built at the feet of our country’s great outdoors, and I love to experience the food, drinks, and cultures at every mountain range between the Atlantic & Pacific. In 2021, my partner & I bought our first teardrop trailer, “Fern”, and have since fallen in love. We came to Outdoorsy to share Fern, in hopes that it gets other people into the open outdoors more frequently, without having to rely on weather, temperatures, or season.

Host was fantastic, trailer was fully functional and clean inside! Well stocked utensils etc. We got four bikes on rack on the back. Definitely would rent again!

Christopher was a great host, he gave us a great orientation and set us up well for our trip. The camper and it’s many features were very slick and made our road trip smooth and easy. Quick set up and tear down. We normally tent camp so this easy to maneuver camper was an awesome treat. Highly recommend!

Firstly, Chris was a gem to work with. He was prompt and courteous throughout communication and transaction. When we picked up the trailer, his walkthrough was incredibly thorough. He ensured we knew exactly what was available for us to use and how to use it! He heat sanitized the linens prior to our renting the trailer, which was nice to know especially given the current times. He was incredibly kind through the entire process, from the time we picked up to the time we dropped off, which was sadly only about 72 hours in total. Now for Fern. This was our baby moon prior to the arrival of our son, and we’re calling our vacation “Escape to Ferngully.” We’re no strangers to teardrop camping, but Fern went the extra mile. She handled forest roads and rocky terrain with ease. She was comfortable, and kept all of our belongings secure and tucked away. Super spacious, clever storage, and a few extras like the shower, and we wanted for nothing. We couldn’t have asked for best lodging on our trip to Crater Lake. Thanks, Chris and Fern!

Rented to learn more about teardrops, spent the weekend on the Oregon Coast. Owner went above and beyond fielding my questions about different makes/options. Trailer exceeded my needs/wants/expectations. Some notables: I have permanent VA disability for PTSD-related insomnia, and got the best sleep in a long time in both the trailer cabin and the rooftop tent. The road shower was great in spraying down sandy children, and my wife raved about the galley. I’m a life-long backpacker and cringe every car-camping trip from the logistics. Having an outfitted trailer greatly minimized the effort of prep, setup, and tear-down. 100% positive experience.

We rented Fern for a 3,200-mile road trip to Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier. We are usually tent campers but were looking for a convenient way to move camp every other day or so. The trailer was easy to tow and set up and we loved the kitchen. All the cabinets in the kitchen and interior of the trailer were so helpful for storing the items we'd usually have to repack into a bin or bag each time we switched campsites. As a family of four, we used both the trailer and tent and the kids loved having the choice of where to sleep each night. The mattresses in both were comfortable and we slept well after long days of exploring the parks. We especially appreciated Christopher's help through the whole process. He was prompt with his replies to all our questions beforehand, patiently walked us through all the details for setting Fern up and was helpful when we had an inquiry mid-trip. Overall, we'd recommend Fern to anyone wanting to experience outdoor life but with modern conveniences that can take some of the work out of tent camping.

Awesome experience all around! Very clean, well-supplied trailer with everything in excellent working order. Pop-up tent on the roof was really cool and doubles the sleeping space. Perfect for our family of four. Chris was a great communicator, we hope to rent from him again soon.

Fern was awesome! and so was Chris! We took Fern down to Indian Mary Campground in Merlin, OR, and spent the weekend floating on the Rogue River. Super easy to tow, and maneuver. Fern's mattress was super comfy, and the rooftop fan kept the cabin at perfect sleeping temperature. The big winner, however, was the kitchen! The dometic cooler was fantastic, as was the cook stove! There was ample storage for our family of four. I definitely recommend Fern and Chris! I'll definitely be back, if I don't buy one for myself!

Christopher was super helpful, very responsive to answer my questions. Outdoorsy is lucky to have him. Fern is as advertised, lots of extras not found on most rentals. I would rent from again and recommend to friends.

Fern was the perfect Teardrop trailer for us. Roomy sleeping area, lots of storage cubbies and loved the kitchen area. Christopher was excellent to work with and he made sure everything was set up, clean and ready to go when we picked up the trailer. I would absolutely rent from him again! This was our first trip to Crater Lake and first time camping in a Teardrop…both were excellent experiences.

I took Fern on an adventure to Glacier National Park. Chris was super helpful at check in and made sure that I knew how to get the most benefit from this beautiful teardrop trailer. The trailer tows easily and I was able to tuck away extra luggage and supplies inside. The kitchen is a wonder. The fridge keeps everything ice cold and the lid provides excellent respite from the elements. I am 6 ft 1 and 250, the bed was super comfortable and my wife had plenty of room as well. There is lots of handy storage. We were tempted to keep Fern and make our way to Mexico but instead returned with hopes of future adventures.
