About Swiss Texan

Hi folks, My fondest memories as a child were traveling across the United States in the backseat of my parents’ car, together with my next oldest brother and sometimes, our teenage sister! Our Dad would stop at all of the national parks and we would stay in motels. Later, I discovered the joy of camping in the gorgeous state of Arkansas. So much to see! But then, I went on a further journey, which took me to Switzerland and beyond! Recently, my Swiss husband and I moved back to the United States, and settled in Austin, Texas. From here, we discovered the joy of traveling from Texas to Canada. During these travels we rented a Basecamp through Outdoorsy and got hooked! Now, we would like to share our Cheyenne Basecamp with others. Hope that we can meet!

Unique unit, perfect for a weekend or weeklong getaway. Sure got a lot of attention! Cool Basecamp, in perfect condition.

Susan & Patrick were extremely effective in communicating with us before, during & after our stay in Cheyenne! They were on time delivering the Basecamp to our camping destination & super quick/educational about setting everything up for us! The inside & outside of the camper was extremely clean & well taken care of. They've got everything you need inside the camper for a little glamping expedition! We truly enjoyed our stay & we'll certainly be doing it again in the future! Thank you guys!!!

Many thanks, Paul. It actually worked out very well, to bring Cheyenne to you and to set her up for you. Not everyone is driving a truck, which doesn't mean you can't enjoy a little glamping!. Take care and glad to rent to you, anytime.

Susan went above and beyond as a host! She did everything she could to ensure we'd be set up for success while we spent a few nights boondocking in Big Bend. We were first time RV users and she explained everything perfectly. Our family of 4 was very comfortable in Cheyenne. Our 5 and 8 year old fit on the banquette bed together and my husband and I shared the bigger bed .

Our experience was what we hoped for and more, especially for our first Airstream trip! The Airstream was extremely clean, had literally everything you need for the trip (only thing you’d need is food, really!). You can definitely tell that Susan and Patrick have put a lot of thought into what the guests would need. Bedding was incredibly comfortable, and we didn’t feel the usual uncomfortable-ness of sleeping in camping trailer at all.

Susan’s answer

Jeong Min, you and Hangil are simply lovely people and took such great care of Cheyenne!. Although it was your first time to rent a Basecamp, you were keen to learn all of the details and clearly capable to manage it. We also appreciated the extra care that you took, to bring her back to us sparkling clean and ready for the next adventure. We hope to see you again! Take care! :-)
