About Gus Koshy
We're skiers, mountain bikers, climbers, whitewater boaters and sailors! We built this rig ourselves from an empty cargo van with the goal of fitting gear for all our favorite adventure sports in one place. One of our favorite trips in our van was a 4000 mile loop around the mountain west, stoping at hot springs, wild rivers, world class crack climbing destinations and some incredible backcountry skiing!

Had the campervan for a week and ventured to Denali, Seward, and Homer. Great trip and the van was perfect. A lot of power, very comfortable and roomy, black out curtains meant the midnight sun was no issue, beautiful wood paneling inside of van. Could not have gone better.

Gus is super accommodating. Let him know your needs. If he can he will, if not he can point you to the right direction.
The van is clean, and comfortable. It got plenty compliments for Gus's craftsmanship. Drives real smooth, the stove was used everyday. Love waking up in all of our 10 different sleeps locations.

Gus was very responsive and friendly. Everything in the van worked perfectly as described. The bed was very comfortable and being able to sit on it, drink my morning coffee while reading with the rear doors open was my favorite part.

Great experience with Gus and the van. Gus is extremely responsive and very easy to work with. Everything on the van as described and worked very well. We will rent again.

I took this Sprinter for 5 days 4 nights to a race track. It’s simple, straightforward, and worked great. Where I was got down to 37 at night and I quickly learned how to make it toasty! Only comment which others have made is that the bed is short for a tall person. I was alone (5-11) and I used the diagonal and it was fine.

Thanks for your lovely review John! I’m glad you enjoyed your stay!

Our first #vanlife experience and it was awesome! We took our Aussie Shepherd out for a full week. The bed is the most challenging since you cannot fully stretch out (I’m 5’7”, my SO is 6’1”, and of course, the dog (45lbs) wanted to be up there with us because it was cold. We were stuck for an hour because the key battery died but were able to figure that out - maybe change them more regularly so somebody else doesn’t have the same experience? Everything worked as it should, I do wish there was a radio - we used our own Bluetooth speaker to listen to tunes while driving. Plenty of space in the back for all of your gear, so don’t worry about that part. Another wish is to have better window covers in the front. We stayed at camp grounds to have bathrooms (and avoid tickets) which made the whole week pretty pricey since we are double paying for the van and the parking spot. I loved how the van was fully off the grid and did not require hookups. We are interested in getting our own van in the future! Thanks Gus!

This van (and these hosts!) are absolutely fantastic. My partner and I had a perfect 15-night road trip vacation in the van and everything was amazing, start to finish -- we even got engaged on the trip! The van runs super smoothly and everything is exactly as pictured. Honestly, it felt bigger than I expected on the inside (although I will caveat that my partner and I are both pretty small people). This was our first experience with Outdoorsy and traveling by campervan and we will definitely be returning in the future. Thanks Gus!

We had a wonderful time taking this Van from California to Colorado and back! It was a very smooth ride. The van itself is intelligently built out with everything that you need. Lots of storage and great setup for cooking! We loved that the van was dog friendly - we brought our pup, Josie who had a great time too. This is a great way to drive through National Parks - it makes stops so easy! Gus was very communicative throughout the entire process. I definitely recommend renting this van for a fun road trip adventure.

Gus was friendly and accomodating. He was very flexible about pickup and dropoff times. We got a thorough familiarization of the vehicle and had no problems.

Everything from start to finish was easy and seamless. The van had everything we needed and made our camping road trip a breeze. I don’t know how we will ever go back to tent camping! The initial consult with Gus was great and made it so we felt confident about how everything worked. You can tell that a lot of thoughtfulness went into their design of the van. We really appreciated the flexibility with our pickup and drop off times too.

This was our first adventure in "van life" and it was fantastic! The van build is great, and done with so much love and care. Likewise, renting from Gabrielle was easy and there was great communication throughout the process. We enjoyed the entire experience, start to end, and it gave us a great foundation for looking at our own build someday. Thank you!
