Kris was incredibly helpful, responsive, and helpful during our trip. The Sand Shark vehicle was perfect for our National Park tour. We would definitely rent from Kris again.

Our family decided to take a weekend trip to Leo Carrillo State Park just west of Malibu. This was our first time camping in a van and also our first time renting through Outdoorsy. Kris helped it all go smoothly and was very helpful from start to finish. The van was everything we could've wanted: easy driving, spacious, and provided a fun spot for all of the kids to hang out while the grownups chilled out by the fire.

Kristopher made it easy from the pick up to drop off of the van ! Always had a good communication, the van had everything we needed for our camping trip! The 2 beds were more than necessary ! The flexible policy is also a + ! If we go on a long trip again we will definitely rebook with Kristopher !

My family of four took a week long bike trip In the Sand Shark. Very comfortable sleeping for all of us. The van gets good gas mileage, was easy to drive and held all of our gear. I would definitely rent again. Kris the owner is easy to work with and very responsive if you have any questions.

The SANSHARK was the key to our most fun trip to CA yet..perfectly simple with just the right amount of amenities to camp while on the move.
We hung around the coast for a bit (mostly Encinitas - San Clem) surfing, hiking, exploring & seeing all our west coast friends. Stopped in LA to see a few more friends then cruised out to Joshua Tree to meet up with the rest of our crew from NJ, who came out to complete the epic trip…doin desert things & ripping motorcycles/dirtbikes.
Kris was really accommodating & replied with any questions/info quickly. 10/10 would recommend if you don’t need all the “RV” bells & whistles.

We had such a great experience in Kris’ van. Camped through Joshua Tree National Park and the deserts of South Eastern California then at Carlsbad State Beach. We are a family of four and we were comfortably able to drive and sleep.

This was our first camping trip with our two dogs and the van was perfect for us. Our trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona was made a trip to remember for sure. The van was easy to drive and park. The miles per day made it our top choice and are adequate for longer road trips. We stayed in campsites with restrooms so this van suited our needs. Kris was responsive prior to booking the trip, awaiting the rental and during the trip. I would recommend this van to someone who is looking to keep it simple and is ready to enjoy the outdoors!

Great van for our first van road trip! Kristopher was very responsive and easy to work with. Check in and out a breeze. Having the van was a much easier way to travel with kids compared to our pre-kid camp set up. (note tiny driver pictured never drove, as she was not insured)

We had a fantastic experience. Kris was very attentive and helpful. Communication was great. And his Sprinter van was awesome! It had all we needed for our trip to Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon. Drove smooth and very reliable. Will recommend to friends and definitely do this again 👍👍

The rental experience with Kris was great. From pickup to drop off, he was super responsive to any questions or requests. The van itself was clean and we'll maintained, with plenty of room. My fiance and I drove it up the coast to Big Sur and it got great gas mileage and the clearance/tires worked great when the asphalt ended. Would definitely rent again in the future.

We had a great trip with Kris' Sprinter (SANSHRK)! Kris was great to work with and rent from. The van was clean and ready to go when I arrived to pick up. Kris went through everything I needed to know to operate. Our trip in the van enabled us to see and experience great parts of our country. We will definitely be renting from Kris in the future.

The Sand Shark was perfect for our camping trip through the mountains and forests of Arizona and Colorado. It is clean, well-maintained, easy to drive and has more than enough storage room for our kids, dog, and gear. The bunks worked great for our family - two adults and two grown daughters. Kris is a great host - friendly, helpful in explaining everything, easy to work with, and very prompt in communication. We highly recommend renting the Sand Shark from Kris! If we don’t end up buying our own Sprinter (because we fell in love with it this trip) we will definitely rent from Kris again!

The Sand Shark is an awesome Sprinter. My family of 5 had so much fun beach camping at Pt. Mugu. Opening the side door and swiveling the front seats make is so nice to enjoy the view!

The Sand Shark was great! The included bed was perfect, and it was easy to add a queen size inflatable mattress to the bottom level. It was nice to have a backup camera, and it was relatively easy to park in normal parking spots. We got compliments on the Sand Shark everywhere we went!

Terrific vehicle...handles very smoothly on highway and curvy roads. Kris (owner) is friendly to work with and provides a comprehensive overview of all the Sprinter's bells & whistles.

We rented Kris Sand Shark for a 4-nights camping trip around Santa Barbara and Morro Bay. We really like the van, it was great to drive (much less noisy and big than a normal RV) and park. This is an almost new vehicle of great design. Bed was very confortable and other camping supplies very useful. On top of that Kris was a pleasure to communicate with. Definitely recommended!!!

We had a great time camping in the van at altitude in the Eastern Sierras with our kids and dog. It had everything we needed and was obviously well cared for. Loved the Yeti cooler. The porta potti in the van allowed us to skip public restrooms during these times of Covid, making us feel much safer during our travels. Kris was very responsive and helpful from booking through drop off.

Nice smooth ride. Fuel efficient & all the necessities to make a fun road trip. Loved the cool lines of the van. Got lots of compliments. Roomy ( we slept 3) & plenty of space for gear. Warm enough at altitude, as we brought sleeping bags. Kitchen stove plus gas was key. Owner was gracious- thx u!

We had a great time taking the Sand Shark to Temecula for some camping at Vail Lake. We brought two toddlers and occasionally had a visit from a friend's dog. The kids LOVED playing in the van and our 3 year old said the van was "super cool" as we were going to sleep one night. The memories we created will last a lifetime. Highly recommend. Super clean and easy to navigate. The scented hand sanitizer, clean sheets, and additional camping gear was also a plus. Chris was easy to work with and very accomodating!

We rented the Sand Shark from Kris to go on a SoCal birthday camping trip and it was great! He was so great to communicate with, the van worked great and very comfortable for our 4 day trip. It was so nice to not have to worry about packing sleeping bags, a camp stove, utensils and other supplies because Kris had them waiting for us in the van. Would definitely book again!

The Sandshark was fantastic. It was clean, fun/easy to drive and was all we needed for a climbing trip to Joshua Tree. Just looking at it makes you want to hit the road for your next adventure. Bonus points for when the ranger or campgound asks for your license plate and you get to say SANDSHRK!

Both Kris and the Sand Shark were amazing. Kris had everything ready for us, explained all the things, and off we went. The Sand Shark has everything you need for dry camping adventure, is self contained, a breeze to drive, and I have to say....I plan on using it again for more adventures! Thanks again Kris for making this so easy.

Had such a great trip with The Sand Shark! The van was able to take on the freshly snowed roads of Joshua Tree to the sands of Glamis. It was super easy to drive, smooth handling, and could definitely maintain its speed uphill and on the highway. I definitely appreciated all the safety features of the van. Kris was very helpful, accommodating, and easy to reach if we ever had any questions. I would definitely recommend The Sand Shark and renting with Kris!

Kristopher’s customer service was outstanding! The “rig” was an excellent vehicle to drive during the pounding rain and hail we encountered traveling highway 1. We felt safe and it handled beautifully!! Will definitely rent again.

What an amazing adventure!!! The sand shark was an amazing way for our family of 5 to explore the west coast. It drove like a dream and was easy to drive in traffic and surprisingly easy to park. Kristopher was awesome, very accommodating and communication was very professional. Would definitely recommend this rental for anyone looking to get out there and do some exploring.

Had a great experience with the Sand Shark! Really nice M-B Sprinter that felt brand new, smooth sailing on the highway and the knobby tires made it crawl around the campsite roads with ease. Well equipped with extra chairs, Yeti cooler, very compact power unit that kept three phones charged all weekend and even an Apple TV (though didn’t use that). The middle bench seat was needed for our daughter while driving but did get in the way once we set camp...so recommend removing it before you hit the road if not needed.

Kris was very accommodating, quick to respond, and very kind. He adjusted his personal schedule to work with our dates, which he didn't have to do. The van was perfect for our week long trip to Utah. Our family of 4 fit great with 3 bikes and all our gear. Plus, it drives like a charm and gave the kids plenty of room to roam, making the drive time a fantastic family experience. 4 stars on value but worth it for a brand new van. I'd do it again for sure. Thanks Kris!

Highly recommend The Sand Shark. Kris was really easy to work with. Excellent communications. Very well outfitted Sprinter Van in excellent condition. It was the perfect vehicle for our surf trip up the coast of California. Excellent fuel economy, easy to drive, can park in regular parking spaces, comfortable seats. Amazing viewpoint driving down the road sitting up high, looking through that panoramic windshield! This is the best way to travel!!!
