Very good communication throughout even though we had an issue with the leveling jacks, but they did what they could to make things right which was much appreciated. RV was solid otherwise. Impressed by the bathroom size, water pressure, and hot water.

Had a great time renting this. Rick was super helpful when we picked it up. All my subsequent questions were answered quickly by them via the app. Super easy to work with. I would recommend and rent again. Thanks!

We rented the Thor Scope 18A. Both the pickup and drop-off (contactless) from the host (The Ride RV in Austin) was very smooth. Great communication and instructions. My wife and I and our dog went on a 6,000+ mile journey from Texas to the Grand Canyon; Santa Barbara; Bend, OR; Tacoma, WA; Coeur d'Alene, ID; White Fish, MT; Red Lodge, MT; Steamboat Springs, CO; Las Vegas, NM and back home to the Austin area. We found the van to be a little too small for the "3" of us. The bed in the back is too small for 2 people (and only supports 300 lbs?) so I had to sleep in the pop-up for the 30 day trip. Never again. At 73 yrs old, it was a little precarious going up and down the ladder each night/morning. That isn't the fault of either Outdoorsy or our host. It just wasn't the ideal floorplan for our needs. That said, practically everything else in the van worked flawlessly and our trip was really memorable. The only issue we had was with the BMPRO Touch Screen Control system. A couple of times it displayed what looked like a normal desktop computer screen (complete with a variety of app icons) and we had difficulty getting back to the BMPRO main screen. Once we did, all functions worked as expected (lights, awning, water pump, tank status, etc.). Thank you! We are already thinking about our next adventure!

Great experience from start to finish. The pre-rental walkthrough was extremely helpful and the company made themselves available if we needed anything. As newbies this was a great intro into RV’ing.

Tl;dr - A/C will not work in Texas heat for an overnight, RIDE RV will just blame you even when you do it the right way, buy the walk through for $50 since there is zero documentation in the van or in the document they give you with the wrong contact info on itI rented this van for a long weekend in Texas in May, and asked specifically about a/c because I needed it for a medical condition. I was unable to reach them through the phone number, Whatsapp or email (listed on their trip documentation). So two days prior to the trip, I thought maybe I had been scammed. Finally got through to someone by calling where the vans are located (RV storage place) and they gave the new person my information. He said the a/c would work all weekend.The issue: the a/c does not work for longer than 30min-4 hours at a time if it is above 85-90 degrees. It freezes. The first night that was my fault, I was asking too much by setting it at 73 when it was 104 in the van. My RV friends corrected that the next day. I left it off all day and stayed outside. The next night the van said it was 89 and I had it set at 84-86. It kicked off every 30 min. Eventually I put on a fan instead. Worked for a few hours then it also kicked off, even though that was the only thing running. I left the campout early that next day because there was no way even get a cross breeze, the windows have no screens, so I was going to go another night without any sleep.

Racheal and Roy were both a joy! The heat of Memorial Day weekend was no joke and the AC and generator kept up so we were comfortable! I took one of the bunks- hello memory foam bed. Other than a few hiccups (like our tow hitch being locked on and needing to be cut off - Roy to the rescue!) things went smoothly and we had a great holiday weekend. Communication was top notch and I really enjoyed chatting with them as well.

We had a great trip around the Austin and San Antonio areas.
The RV drove well, and The Ride RV was very prompt to answer any questions we had.
