About Eddie Ford
Hello! My name is Eddie Ford. I am married to my lovely wife, Jane, and have 2 awesome kids, Stella and Knox. We also have 2 dogs, Petri and Beaker. I am a former teacher/coach that loves family vacations. We like to go all over the United States every chance we get! I have been around and used RV's my entire life! Growing up, I would go camping in our RV with my family all the time. We went to as many state parks in Texas that we could. When I got a little older, I would tailgate with my family and our RV every weekend. We are all huge Texas Longhorn Football fans and go to the games every chance we get (Hook 'Em!). Now, I love to go on family vacations with my wife and 2 kids and explore as much as we can. I hope that I am able to provide all these enjoyable experiences I had in a RV from my life at an affordable price. My goal is to make the experience as fun and easy as I can for the first time RV user to the most experience veteran RV user! To do this, I provide not only a detailed walk through, but detailed instructions as well as QR links with detailed video demonstrations. Hope you have an amazing time! -Eddie

Where to start. I spent countless hours planning for this trip. I looked at Eddie’s van in person before renting to make sure it was a good fit. Upon meeting Eddie to get the van it was pouring rain. I wasn’t able to inspect the outside and we were rushed to move through the inside. Eddie showed me simply how things worked and I was on my way. Upon day one I noticed a lot of broken things around the van. The velcro to secure the curtain for privacy was down to one tiny dot to hold a heavy curtain up. I had to rig it the whole time for privacy. The freezer door screw was undone and the first time trying to open the freezer door the door came off so I was unable to use the freezer the whole trip. Eddie made sure to charge me for this later and also charged me for a crack in the shelf in the freezer when the before photo shows the plastic was already cracking. there were staples put into wood seating area to hold pieces together and there was a side table that banged up against the kitchen area every time you hit any bump because it had no latch to hold it in place. Talk about annoying when you’re driving 1500 miles. While Eddie was responsive about things on the road the whole experience really took a turn when I went to bring the van back. I had to rent the van for an extra day because I got food poisoning on the road and ended up in the ER. I was by myself on this trip with my two dogs and wasn’t able to drive the van back for delivery so I paid for an extra day to have time to clean the van and return it to Eddie. Once I got out of the ER i drove the van back and deep cleaned it. Swept, mopped wiped down everything inside and even wiped down the back bumper and side of the van. I also dumped black and grey tank and filled water even though I prepaid for the dump. Eddie didn’t find it necessary to refund for dumping or use that $75 fee towards something else. Eddie wanted me to return the van a hour early the next day because he had something to do and wouldn’t compensate me for the hour. But if you return it 30 min late you will pay for every half hour late. Seemed unfair. Well Eddie was just gearing up. I was charged for my service animal even though I informed him before going that one was a registered service dog. He charged me $150 for 2 hours of cleaning saying there were bugs on the bumper that I didn’t clean off and sand on the floor mat where my feet where when I drove the car to drop it off. He told me upon pick up to just “spray down the outside and wipe down the inside and that would suffice” but that was not true. It was New Year’s Day and I couldn’t get propane because U-Haul was closed so Eddie charged me $30 fee and $10 for the propane I used to boil a pot of water. I was charged for the Tv mount and I never once touched or used the TV, I was charged for a wire to the hot water heater saying I burned it up when I only boiled a pot $40 of water, I was charged for the freezer door which was broken day one. I would have rented from Eddie in the future had he been a bit more focused on the customer experience than nickel and dime-Ing me during his “slow season”. I spent the last two days of my trip miserable and sick and paid an extra $800 for it when all the fees were totaled up by Eddie. Prepare yourself for the deposit to not be return or receive very little back. I attached photos of the van when I returned it to see how the outside was clean. Eddie also charged me for the 12v electric plug cover falling off when it fell off during the initial walk through when I received the vehicle. He saw me open it right in front of him and it fell off and he charged me for it. Best of luck to future renters. Do yourself a favor and find a mom and pop renter who rents their camper for joy for others and NOT someone who does it as his full time job/business cause he is here to get paid and doesn’t care about the rest. The end of this experience left a icky feeling for me about Eddie and I wouldn’t rent from him or recommend his vans to my friends or family.
Eddie’s answer
The renter failed to take care of the unit in the way agreed upon per contract signed by all parties and listed on the listing page, resulting in penalties and fees.

Great week-long experience for the family. Eddie made everything easy for first timers. The Four Winds was perfect for a mixed on grid off grid vacation for our family of five. We’ll be doing this again soon.

First time in an rv Eddie walked me through all of the functions and features. He was extremely informative and detailed. answered all of my questions and concerns which made the camping experience in the RV amazing. Will rent an rv though him in the future!

Eddie is a nice chap - allowed us to see the vehicle before renting.
We booked 3 months July - Sept. On May 31st we reduced the trip duration from end Sept to mid Sept. Eddie would not make even a partial refund of the last two weeks- almost $4K. Says it took it off his books until end Sept, but given the notification of the reduction was May 31st, he had 1 month to make the vehicle available again from mid-Sept. During our trip one of the lenses of the 5 lights on the roof fell off. Nothing touched the roof so clearly it was never properly secured. Eddie charged $60 for this claiming the cost of the lens was $50 and $10 for the 90 seconds labor to reattach it. The lenses on Amazon are $46 for 5 so Eddie is not exactly telling the truth here. I’ll be disputing this charge with Outdoorsy although Eddie said I would be wasting everyone’s time by doing so. Also check the tire pressures before driving away. Ours were 15 PSI too low all round and Eddie could not tell us the correct pressures when phoned

As you can see from my average of 4.8 star reviews on my profile, I do everything I can for my renters. They said this was a 5 star experience until the day after they returned when I had to charge them $60 to replace a light. They informed me they lost the light cover during their trip. As with common sense, you have to get a specific light, not just any random light on amazon. The price is correct as per the receipt with $10 labor to order and reinstall. They also failed to read the cancelation policy posted on outdoorsy website and my listing page. They booked this trip in January and decided changes needed to be made 5 months later, just before the trip. I informed them about the cancelation policy for those days and the time that has elapsed. This was not a problem until the day after return and even then they said they understood per policy. For the tires, this is a brand new RV that had 1000 miles on it on the departure date. I have certification about the tires as they are brand new and prepped by the dealer and checked by me per policy and signed off on by the renter. They did call me before their oil change about what the PSI should be after putting on 11,000 miles. I let them know that the listed PSI is on the tires themselves as with all tires. Even after presenting clear documentation and reviewing all facts, they said they wanted to dispute the valid charge for the light. I informed them that is their right but then I will not waste anymore time discussing this as I do not discuss active disputes and will follow outdoorsy protocol. Not sure why they chose to list false statements in a review as all is proven false with documentation for this brand new RV. I even went above and beyond for this couple as I opened my shop up on a day it was closed for them just to come see the RV before renting. They also called me countless times after 10pm throughout the trip with questions that were answered during the walkthrough and written on their walkthrough guide I gave them, which I answered despite informing them I would be unavailable between the hours of 10pm-8am.

This was my first RV experience and overall it was pretty great. Eddie was very thorough and patient with me during the walk through. It was a brand new (2025) van and I was a bit nervous about it. He provided laminated sheets with QRS codes to access short how to videos from dumping to furnace operation. Communication with him before and during the trip couldn't have been better, texts were answered immediately. The van drives like a dream and just sips gas. Everything listed worked as it should. The AC did a great job with the windows covered and the rear bathroom closed off. I did have to borrow a water pressure regulator from the park office, pressure was really high. I was actually the first person to get to rent this beautiful van. I did not have a shaded or concrete site. It was hot and rained one day. I would have loved an awning.

Our first ever experience with an RV and it was awesome! Eddie explained everything we needed to know on operating the rv which made it easier for us to enjoy our camping experience. No issues with the rv, everything went perfectly fine! I would totally recommend getting an rv through Eddie as he does a great job taking care of his equipment.

We had an amazing time with Eddie’s trailer. Eddie is a clear communicator and was readily accessible whenever any issues occurred. The walkthrough was extremely helpful as it was the first time we ever did a road trip with a trailer. We got the kitchen box and bed set which really helped us out since we flew in from New York to Texas. Our adventure through the southwest wouldn’t have been possible without this fantastic rig. Highly recommend!

The van only has four seatbelts. The listing stated eight seatbelts.
Eddie’s answer
During the walkthrough, you stated its use of 2 people visiting a relative. It was then brought to my attention late that night after the RV had been gone several hours that 8 seatbelts were instead needed. I offered for you to return the unit for a full refund or for me to make adjustments to accommodate the additional passengers that were not mentioned during booking or departure. You refused either service and chose to keep as is.

Eddie was a wonderful host for our very first RV trip! He made the process easy, fully explained all the features of his RV, and he is remarkably easy to reach if we had questions or problems (we didn’t). We would absolutely rent from Eddie again.

We can't recommend Eddie and his RV any higher. We did not have much experience in an RV and Eddie's review and instructions were invaluable and really put us to ease on being able to make our trip as enjoyable as we hoped. The RV is in really great condition but more importantly, Eddie was ready to help us with anything we struggled with. In the end, we didn't have a single issue but communication with Eddie was grand and kept our minds at ease.
