Alicia was a great host! Very accommodating, and quick to respond with any inquiries. The trailer was perfect for our trip. Towed nice, and being one of the few pet friendly options available, made the choice easy.

Alicia’s answer

Thank you Matt! I'm so happy you and your puppers felt accommodated.

Alicia was very helpful, responsive and flexible. She provided us with all the relevant information we needed regarding the rental. We enjoyed a comfortable stay in her trailer with our family of 4. We would definitely rent this trailer again!

Alicia was a pleasure to rent from and this camper is absolutely adorable, clean and so convenient! We had 4 of us stay in the adventure pod, 2 kids and 2 adults, and we were comfortable with all the amenities we needed. Alicia responded to our questions in record time and made every effort to ensure our family camping trip went smoothly. I will definitely be renting the Adventure Pod again, huge fan!

Alicia’s answer

Thank you Melissa! I'm so happy you and your family had so much fun 😊

Alicia was great to deal with! We have rented with outdoorsy in the past and Alicia has been the most organized and sufficient for getting us on the road quicker and making things easy with a guide she sends over in advance to review. Would highly recommend renting her R-POD.

Alicia’s answer

Thank you Brayden! Glad you felt like the experience was effortless! It was a pleasure 😁

Alicia was a great host! She was prompt with replies, organized with information and gave us a clear orientation to the trailer.
The trailer was just what we needed for this trip, big enough for 2 adults and 2 kids, but small enough to tow with a Honda Pilot.
We made great memories!

Visit our FAQ How it works

Q.Can my vehicle tow the Escape Pod?

The best way to find out if your vehicle has the proper towing capacity is to contact your dealer. If your vehicle cannot tow a minimum of 3500lbs, you will need to find a different vehicle to rent to Escape Pod or request delivery.

Q.My vehicle already has a tow package. Why do I need a brake controller?

The Escape Pod is equipped with electric brakes. The total GVW of the Pod exceeds 2998lbs, and for safety reasons a brake controller is required to tow the Pod. Just because your vehicle can tow the pod, does not mean it will have as easy as a time stopping the Pod. Electric brakes ensure adequate power and control are assisting to bring the weight of the trailer (and the towing vehicle) to a complete stop.

Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?

I am very flexible. As long as pick-up is during daylight hours, I will work with you on the time. If the booking is a weekday delivery, it will usually be completed after 4:00pm. Depending on the duration between the booking and delivery, sometimes it can be during the day. If the booking is a weekend delivery, the delivery time is flexible.
