We had the most incredible experience staying in this RV in the beautiful state of Montana! From the moment we arrived, Carl and Janine went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were kind, hospitable, and always happy to help with anything we needed, which made the whole experience even more special.

The trip could not have been better. My wife and I were searching for a trip to take with our 10 month old baby, and we took a leap of faith that renting an RV to see Yellowstone and Grand Teton would work well. The RV was perfect!Some positives:
1. The RV was easier to drive than I expected. We felt very safe.
2. Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks are designed with RVs in mind. I had read some horror stories that simply weren't true. Driving and parking at major sites / areas wasn't an issue at all.
3. Having an RV was perfect for traveling with a baby. We always had everything we needed, and while the baby took naps in our pack-n-play, the adults would trade off exploring nearby. It was really fun.
4. We would have wanted to rent the RV even without the baby. I've been to Yellowstone before and stayed in hotels. The RV is so much more convenient than staying in a hotel because the area is huge and you want to move around, not to mention always having a bathroom, clothing layering options, and your kitchen with you. For us, traveling in an RV was less stressful than staying in a hotel and driving around all day in a car.
5. For us, the price of the RV and campgrounds was a bit cheaper than staying in hotels. We did a detailed analysis. However, we would have picked the RV even if it was more expensive.
6. We cooked all of our meals in the RV kitchen and on the provided grill. We did a grocery pickup order at Walmart when we first landed. Cooking was no issue at all.
7. Everything in the RV was comfortable (despite being old): the bed, the driver and passenger seats, the couch, the dinette, even the shower. The shower is small but we used it every day and it was fine.
8. The RV looks and feels nicer in real life than in the photos.

Hi Davis and Henderson, thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. We feel we have achieved our goal of providing a quality experience at a reasonable price. While our RV is not new, it is comfy like your grandparents house. We strive to keep all the amenities in it up to date, maintained and clean. Thank you for giving us the confidence that we are achieving that aspect as well. We look forward to the opportunity to host your family in the future! Thanks again and thanks for choosing us for your Yellowstone travels.

Our experience renting this RV was the icing on the cake of our family's best ever adventure. We are big campers, and have both a popup and a trailer at home on the East coast, so we knew what camper life was like. But one thing we have never done is RV through a national park. Seeing Yellowstone and Grand Teton from Karl and Janine's "White Buffalo" made our adventure so comfortable and convenient, my kids even said "I could see us living in an RV!"Karl and Janine went out of their way to try and answer all my million questions beforehand, even recommending ordering groceries ahead for pickup at a local supermarket. We didn't get to meet Janine but Karl was as nice as can be, and very patiently explained all the ins and outs of the RV both before our trip, and during, via text. Many of my questions were ignorant, but Karl never made us feel like we were asking stupid questions! I spent hours reading all the reviews of this listing and inspecting the photos, so we could be as prepared as possible. I knew the RV was older. Still, when we arrived at the airport and stepped inside for the first time, I was amazed at how clean it was. I have a very sensitive sense of smell, and I was expecting an RV of this age to have a mustiness to it, but it did not! Everything from the floors to the upholstery to the linens were impeccably clean.Why rent an RV for this trip:
First of all- for those who say it isn't a good idea to do Yellowstone in an RV- you're wrong! Yes, there are some roads that are off limits, but there aren't many, we didn't have time in 8 days to do it all anyway, and we loved what we did see. Many times the "RV only" parking spots in crowded lots were available a moment or two after we got there, while the rest of the car spots were full. We got to the point that we were dressed and ready to go each day in under an hour- less if we didn't have hookups- making this a truly easy camping experience. We were able to pull off the road whenever we needed to see wildlife. And I don't know whether it's just the White Buffalo or all RVs but our gas mileage was way better than we thought it would be. Even driving for eight straight days we only needed to fill a tank and a half, making the RV a much more affordable accomodation for a family of five than hotel rooms and a rental car.Why rent this RV:
This was the perfect size for our family of 5 with two big teenage boys. There was tons of storage space also so nothing needed to be stored on the floor (my pet peeve), and with the bumpout extended there really was a lot of space. But the added amenities in this RV are what made it truly special. There was so much already thought of that it meant we didn't need to plan our days, freeing us to truly go adventuring. My suggestion is to make reservations EARLY at all the campgrounds, stay at a different one each night, and then spend your days driving and exploring from one site to the next. There is no need to pack a bag or cooler each day. Kids are hungry? Just pull over and make lunch in the fully functional kitchen while staring out at the mountains. Someone needs a nap? Go sleep in the nice dark bedroom (with a VERY comfortable mattress) in the back. Forgot to use the bathroom before we left? Go ahead- it's super clean. Can't find any meat in the (very limited) convenience stores in the park? No worries, we have leftovers in the fridge and a microwave to heat it up. Hot after a hike? Let's sit in the A/C and finish that pint of huckleberry ice cream we have left in the freezer! Freezing in the morning? Stay under the (very cozy) covers. I'll turn on the heat, and here's some hot cocoa I made with the Keurig. The best was when we connected our phone to the Bluetooth and turned on the GuideAlong app (highly recommend) and realized the speakers go throughout the RV, so our kids could listen and look out any of the very large windows, wherever they were in the RV!

Respuesta de Karl and Janine

Oh my gosh Davina! Wow, what thoughtful and kind feedback you have provided for our "White Buffalo"! We can't be more appreciative of what you have said along with some additional "Pro Tips" that I had not even thought of. Janine and I can't be happier that your family has enjoyed the use of our RV and that it was part of making your visit to Yellowstone/Teton so special. You all took such wonderful care of our RV while in your care and we certainly recommend you to anyone in the Outdoorsy rental community. If you make it back out this way, we do hope you will give us the opportunity to host you again!
Cheers to you all!

The overall experience is awesome. Karl is super nice. The car is clean and organized. The RV makes our Yellowstone trip even better.

Things could not have been more perfect in the RV that we rented from
Karl and Janine. Everything was as if I had put into this RV exactly what I wanted and needed (our 11 year old granddaughter affectionately called Our V).
The RV worked perfectly and had such wonderful things as first class towels. We have rented Airbnbs a lot the last 14 years and the towels and linens provided here were better quality than most! I cannot say enough good things about our experience camping in Yellowstone National Park for the week and it would not have been as glorious without the wonderful opportunity to rent this Our V 😁

Respuesta de Karl and Janine

Hi Phil and fam! It was a pleasure to host you all! I love the stories that involve the family getting in touch with the glorious splendor of our National Parks, truly special. Janine and I are so happy you all had a great trip and this is what motivates us to part of that adventure. We hope that the future may allow us to cross paths again! Until then cheers and thank you again for choosing us for your Yellowstone visit :)

We had the best time on our trip in Montana and Wyoming. Karl and Janine are very kind friendly and accommodating.. they even picked up our groceries in Walmart and stored it in the RV before they picked us up.. the RV was spacious , clean , and had everything we needed.. also the location and the price was very convenient …
The nature in Montana and Wyoming is beautiful unspoiled and wild .. we explored Yellowstone NP, Grand Teton NP and Gallatin national forest and the experience is unforgettable..will definitely come and rent the RV again to explore the other parts of Montana .. I would highly recommend to everyone!

Our trip couldn’t have been better! It was our first experience with an RV, and Karl and Janine made it amazing with such a well-equipped vehicle, great communication, and constant support. Sometimes we joked that it was better equipped than our own home. We cooked pasta, pancakes, cookies, barbecue - everything that we wanted was possible.

Respuesta de Karl and Janine

Ligia and all!
We are so happy to receive this feedback on your journey. Nothing puts a smile on our faces like a great trip report. It was really great to meet you all and working with you on the rental was perfect. We would love to have you all again for your future trip to Glacier NP :) Until then, cheers to you and thanks again!

As first-time RVers tackling Yellowstone and Grand Teton for two weeks, we couldn't have made a better decision than renting Karl and Janine's Coachmen Leprechaun. It was very easy to drive and operate and allowed us to explore the National Parks with everything we needed at our fingertips. The RV allowed us to get our kids (5, 3, and 1) to in-demand locations early so we didn't miss out (we would leave for our destination as soon as we woke up and eat breakfast and get dressed in the RV), gave our kids a mid-day napping space, and allowed us to explore without worrying about packing everything we needed separately. From helping us load up our kids and luggage at the airport to walking us through all the features of the RV, Karl was an excellent host. Additionally, the videos he put together demonstrating the use of all of the RV's features gave us peace of mind when it came to dumping the grey and black water and using the generator and generator-supported features for the first time on our own. Glacier is on our short list of National Parks to see next and this RV will easily be our first choice if we make a return trip to Bozeman.

Respuesta de Karl and Janine

Thank you so much for the kind words Nathan! Your family was a pleasure to host. Your kiddos are great and I know this trip will stick with them for a while to come! We appreciate the great care you took with our RV during your time in Yellowstone. We are so happy that it made your travels with littles a bit easier and convenient for all the things they need :). We look forward to the chance to meet again in the future! Until then cheers and all the best from Karl and Janine

We had the best vacation in Yellowstone in Karl and Janine's rv. It was clean, easy to use, equipped perfectly and exactly the right size for us. Karl was so accommodating to our questions before and after making reservations. The videos were very clear and easy to understand. The upper bunk area was comfortable for our adult son almost 6 ft tall. Karl went above and beyond a simple rv rental! We felt so at home during our week long vacation. One of our favorite moments was seeing elk in our campground. This experience has made us want to explore other parks in the future this way. We've already told other family members with dreams of Yellowstone to do the same.

Respuesta de Karl and Janine

Thank you so much Jeff and Kim! It was a pleasure to host your for your Yellowstone trip! We are so happy that the visit and our RV met your expectations! Thank you again for selecting us and hope that you might share your story with others who could use our RV on future travels.
Kindest regards,
Karl and Janine

Karl was very communicative and the videos about the RV, that he send in advance, were helpful to know how to operate everything before we arrived in Montana. It was a reasonable price and sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels were all provided. We really just had to get groceries and start driving to our first campground. A keurig was provided and all of the pots and pans we needed to cook, some spices as well. Chairs and a camp stove were also provided. The only thing I didn't ask for that would have been helpful was a toaster. Our family made lifetime memories in this RV over 2 weeks in the national parks, we would definitely rent it again!

Respuesta de Karl and Janine

Hi Rebecca and Brian and family,
Once again thank you for the opportunity to host you on your visit to see the National Parks in our area. We love hearing about fun family times and making memories. Thank you so much for the feedback. Our experience with you was seemless and a pleasure. We hope Outdoory will provide future opportunities to journey around this great country of ours. Cheers to you all and maybe our paths will cross in the future!
Kindest regards,

We had the best time on our trip to Yellowstone and grand Teton. I would highly recommend as the RV was supplied with everything we needed except food and clothes. It functioned perfectly and we enjoyed our time! Karl was very flexible and easy to work with.

I can’t describe how much we enjoyed this vacation with Karl’s RV! Starting from the easy and friendly communication with Karl and Janine, our flight was unfortunately delayed, but he was very patient and showed generous hospitality. My 11-year-old son loved chatting with Karl because he answered all of his questions, and now he tells me he wants to live in Montana someday! We are so lucky to have found Karl and Janine via Outdoorsy. The RV was very well maintained, and we didn't need any particular items. We cooked almost every single meal without any trouble. Once again, thank you so much for your hospitality. We could not have completed this memorable vacation without you! We highly recommend Karl and Janine and their RV!!

Respuesta de Karl and Janine

Thank you so much Kevin and family! You guys were great :) It was a pleasure meeting you and we are very happy that you had such a memorable and fun experience while traveling the spectacular Yellowstone and Teton National Parks. We appreciate the opportunity to host your travels and hope we might be able to do so again in the future!
Cheers!
