The van was comfortable and cozy, and I loved the time I spent in it. The host was incredibly friendly as well. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

Karen was super nice before and after the trip. She showed me everything around the van but fear not: if you forget something, there's a detailed user manual with pictures and everything you need to know.

The van was a perfect fit for me. Very comfortable to drive with everything well thought out.

The van was fine. Dealing with Outdoorsy was terrible. Although we uploaded the documents several times and called them, they wouldn't verify our second driver. They were slow to respond and basically refused to verify him once the trip had started even though we had started the process beforehand and it was their problem that he wasn't verified. Their rules make no sense and their slow response was the reason we couldn't complete the verification. Interesting that they don't ask us to rate Outdoorsy. I would give them 0 stars.

We had a lovely trip to Lake George in Karen and Doug’s van. A positive first time RV trip all around. Renting was straightforward and the van was as advertised- clean, easy to drive, well designed and efficient space. Karen reviewed how everything works when we met and answered any questions we had. I felt very comfortable renting from them and confident about using their vehicle. We hope to be returning customers!

Q.How do the electric, water and sewage hook up work while setting up at the campground?
A.
20A power can be hooked to the van via an external connection to both power all 110V appliances and to keep the van 12V system topped up.

Q.Is the solar system sufficient to power all our needs?
A.
The solar system will keep all the 12V systems powered assuming you are diligent about conserving power - turn lights off when not needed, don't run heat with the doors open, etc. Winter months may require some charging from the engine if light conditions are low or the panels are covered in snow.

Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
You have the option of picking up the van in either Portsmouth or at our workshop in Somersworth, NH. C&J Bus service provides airconditioned, WiFi enables shuttle service from Boston Logan airport to Portsmouth.
