This was our first time ever using an RV. Rene was very timely and responsive to the questions that came up while we were on our trip. He spent about 45 minutes talking with us when we returned the vehicle…very generous with his time. We highly recommend renting from this host!
Jeff S. · 5/5 · Feb 2025 · Outdoorsy
The van was spotless, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable for our family. The rental process was smooth, and Rene was very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend for a stress-free and memorable family camping trip!

My wife and 3 year old son had a fantastic time in Scout. Rene was very helpful and responsive when we had questions and needed a little help. A fun adventure van that will take you wherever you want to go!

Well, I didn’t actually drive this RV anywhere, but it was a great extra bedroom and bathroom in my driveway with my house full of family staying for Thanksgiving. My pup enjoyed sleeping in the “den” and it worked out great except for the night I woke up to an earthquake only to find it was Skippy scratching under my bed.
Mary G. · 5/5 · Nov 2024 · Outdoorsy
Rene was great! The camper was very comfortable, especially since it was our first time camping in a van camper. We liked the amenities and the easy of driving the camper. We would rent it again for our next trip!

This was our second-year spending Veterans weekend in Scout, and it was just as AMAZING this year! Best Rig is North County!
