Renter's Manual
I'm trying to create a manual for our renters and I found that Outdoorsy has one linked within a blog post but it is password protected. I have requested the password but have not heard anything. Does anyone have an example you wouldn't mind sharing ...
RV Trackers
For those of you tracking your RV while rented (and in case of theft, etc.), who are you using and how is that working out for you? Up until now, all of our rentals to date have been local - none more than 4-5 days, so we've not really had much conce...
Vintage camper cana
We recently purchased a 1987 camper van with the intention of offering it as a rental on Outdoorsy. We currently offer two travel trailers on the platform and have had moderate success so far and so going forward we are looking to develop and diversi...
Manufacturers Quality
Just wondering how many others have found manufacturers commitment to quality falling short. My first 2007 28 ft trailer never gave me a day of grief and never had an issue with it’s build or functionality. My second purchase of a 2019 38’ was riddle...
Review of the Outdoorsy Platform Guide
With all of the difference platforms currently utilised by renters and owners I have found Outdoorsy's to be the most robust of its kind. I have a review on the Outdoorsy page and on the community forum as well as my personal. Garrett Lombardi @Garre...
How to guide
First things first, a new RV'er renting and the anticipation is growing yet how can an owner provide what is needed? Simple by putting together a step by step laminated guide helping the renter and giving you a piece of mind approach. 1) setting up a...
Using the App for Key Handoff and Returns
Has anyone else had issues using the app to do a key handoff or return? I was unable to use the key handoff on my mobile phone, it would not advance past the photographs. On the return I was not comfortable using it because I needed to add additional...
Looking for your thoughts if this would help.....
Just an idea.... Hoping for your thoughts and input.... As an RV owner who rents to people you don't really know, wouldn't it be good to have a nice professional "Dealership" type property you can tell your clients to meet you? Even better, what if y...
Trailers Vs. Campervants?
What's the best return on investment? We currently rent out an airstream, tow vehicle, and an overland Jeep. We get the airstream booked the most of course, but we're considering getting another camping vehicle and aren't sure what to go with. On one...
Wireless Backup Cameras and New GM Trucks
We have a Furrion Vision S wireless camera and monitor that we use with our Forest River camper. The camper came pre-wired and with the Furrion mount, so the camera made a lot of sense to us. Our experience with the Furrion was exceptional UNTIL we u...

Anyone figure out how the search results are figured? I see Rv's with 10+ positive reviews lower in the results than ones with less and worse reviews, I had an agent work through our listing and say everything looks great but we still appear on page ...

Dealing with reviews
So, out of MANY rentals on Outdoorsy and the "other site" that rhymes with "marvey smare", we have only ONE not so good review. It was submitted at the very end of the open period by our renters and we saw it AFTER we could respond or make a correspo...
SRA and E-Sign
I was more active last year on "the other platform that rents". I didn't like their method of departure/return paperwork, so Imported into docusign and had everything e-signed day of pickup and return. I add that to the expenses for the year on taxes...
Theft
This just something I want to bring up for the good of the group. We try our best not to give out our address before pickup, but when renters have booked, the address is inevitable. Our travel trailer was stolen right off our driveway late one night....

Protip: Avoid using Mechanical Issues as a cancellation reason
My RV recently blew a hydraulic line while out on a rental. As a precaution I reached out to the next renter to let them know there was a mechanical issue and I wasn't sure if I could get it fixed in time. I cancelled the reservation and used the Mec...

Fake reasons for cancellations
So I'm curious if anyone else has had this issue... we had a renter who wanted to cancel because the plans for their group changed. It was less than a week before departure so the cancellation fee would be applied. We do a moderate plan for cancellat...
