1. Welcome to Outdoorsy
What is Outdoorsy, and why does it exist? Good news — we’ll tell you! And while we’re at it, we’ll also breakdown the best methods for communication with us. From the Outdoorsy RV Host Community to our help page to our customer support team, we have A’s to all your Q’s.
2. How Outdoorsy Works
We explain our matchmaking service. We’re no Eharmony, but we do have a knack for matching guests with your gorgeous RVs! We let you in on our process and how it can make you money.
The payment system gets broken down, and we answer every business host’s burning question — how do you set up your taxes?
3. Outdoorsy Insurance
With a range of protection packages for your guests to choose from, we’ve got you covered. All qualifying vehicles you list are eligible for this industry-leading liability coverage of up to $1 million!
And when you’re taking your RV out for a personal spin, there’s our preferred RV insurance partner, Roamly. Roamly will never drop your coverage for renting on Outdoorsy, and you may save up to 25% off your existing policy.
We break down all the coverage options, what is and isn’t covered, and how to file a claim.

Your listing is up, and now it’s time to draw guests in! We give you all our tips, tricks, and best practices to get your RV booked and busy.

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. We offer top tips from Outdoorsy hosts when it comes to handling issues that may arise when your guests hit the road.
