About Robby Eskridge
At Nomad Be Happy, we believe that the journey is just as important as the destination. Our adventure ready campervan rental business is more than a service; it's a lifestyle. Embrace the freedom of the open road, explore hidden gems, adventure differently and create unforgettable memories with our premium campervans custom built by Vandoit. Nomad started humbly in Chattanooga, TN in 2020 with just two vans and has since created a collective of locally owned and operated campervan rentals in several cities across the US. This allows us the unique opportunity to provide a high quality rental experience from a local expert and fellow nomad! Check out where we are located and what we have to offer. If you're a Vandoit campervan owner who's interested in joining the collective, we'd love to chat and expand our rental fleet.

Robby was a proactive contact, answered my questions quickly and was super about any feedback provided. He reached out during my trip just to see if everything was great. I loved the personal touch!

I happen to know Chris and Shannon Royce and was so excited for them when they became part owners in the Nomad. It took awhile before I had time to take a short vacation with the van. It was a great experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The only downside was the refrigerator not working. It could have been my non-technical skills. I already had a large cooler with me and it didn't affect the trip. If you're looking for a great "glamping" experience, this is it!

Robby and the whole gang with Nomad Be Happy are top notch! Robby was in constant communication with me before our trip, confirming and making sure the van would be set up for us. I cannot brag enough about this van, the set up makes it able to stop anywhere and with the solar set up and battery bank you have full access to everything you could need. Also the van comes stocked with EVERYTHING you need, chairs, bedding, kitchen set up and coffee, tables, blankets, pillows, headlamps, lights for your campsite, fire starters,hammock… The van is a head turner and everyone wants to ask you about the van or see the set up inside! I cannot recommend them enough, we will be back again and again and already sent the links to our friends who wanted more info. If you’ve been wanting to do it you need to!!

Overall experience was absolutely amazing! Chris kept very good communication with us and made it very easy for pick up and drops off. The van itself did its duty. Very cool amenities and kept us comfy for our trip! Definitely recommend booking here

Robbie was super helpful and we had an awesome trip! I would highly recommend this rental experience to anyone. We ended up having some rain on our trip and even with the weather the trip was great with this van.

Ashley was amazing. Picking up the van was wonderful. It was spotless and super clean with all the necessities you could ask for with cooking equipment, towels, cutlery, plates, oil, tape, hand sanitizer, fresh gas bottles etc. The treat was the (it's a secret but don't tell her) gift bag she gave us with local community goodies such as coffee, t-shirts, VanDoIt mug (check out vandoit.com they are amazing) and such. The camping chairs they have are so much fun (like swinging hammocks). We took the van on quite a journey and it performed perfectly. Do not get fooled by all those people driving Sprinters. They are diesel and do not have much power at elevation. The Ford Transit (modified by VanDoIt) is a great beast. Nice Ford Ecoboost Engine which has enough power and economy to take you anywhere. And if there is a break down ever --- you at least have a dealer and mechanic near by. Carplay worked great, and the van had enough power from the internal batteries and solar from top to easily charge up our laptops and phones. I returned the Van to Ashley today and it went very well. We covered the journey and any of the hiccups that happened. The trick to having a good trip is keeping any owner informed. We set up a WhatsApp group and had daily contact with Ashley (photos, where you are etc). It also covers the situation when you do have a problem - like a big stone flicking up on the windscreen and you needing to deal with Outdoorsy, wondering how the expensive insurance you bought for the trip from Outdoorsy works, and how to modify your trip as needed. This did happen to us, and again Ashley was great in her understanding that life happens, the van is there to be enjoyed, and how do we get back on the road quick enough to enjoy our trip.

Melissa, Eric and their family were great renters - a sweet little family! We really loved that they were from out of town and wanted to see the southeast; of course we also loved that they chose the Outshine van to tour around. They left the van in great shape! Would definitely rent to them again.

Our entire experience was nothing less than perfect. The van was amazing...everything and more than we thought it would be. Their recommendations of places to stay were spot on. The gift bag they gave us was ridiculously exquisite. And Sunshine was THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Highly recommend this van or ANYTHING that they offer - guided tours, yoga experiences, etc. It's bound to be amazing.

We had a wonderful rental experience. Sunshine was an absolute pleasure to deal with: she was kind, knowledgeable, thoughtful, extremely responsive to messages through the Outdoorsy app both before and during the rental, and exceptionally flexible and accommodating. The van itself was comfortable and roomy for a family of 4 with two kids ages 10 and 12. The interior build is very high quality. The beds were very comfortable. And the van comes with everything you need except clothes and food - bedding, eating utensils, cooking supplies, leveling blocks, etc. are all provided. Thanks so much - we loved it, and hope we can rent again!
