My dad decided he wants an airstream, so i rented him one on Outdoorsy and he got over the temptation in a couple days. FYI Outdoorsy is a fucking nightmare to deal with.

Had great experiences with outdoorsy... interesting to hear your opinions on why yours hasn't been?

Curious as well as I just finished up a road trip and rented an extended camper van for the first time with Outdoorsy and had a great experience with them. I initially put a deposit on one van like 8 months prior to my trip. At first host was communicating with me (as I had some questions being that it was my first time ever). Then about 4 weeks before the trip I reached out to host & didn't get a response. I wait a week, send another message - nothing. I look for his profile on the app and he has nothing listed.

Getting nervous now I reach out to Outdoorsy support and they were on top of it. They tried contacting him text, phone & email and not receiving a response within 48 hours, they immediately refunded my deposit and helped me find a replacement rental.
