I went to high school in the mid-2000s. It was the time of the “scene kid.” The hallways of my high school were filled with people wearing bright colors, heavy eyeliner, and hair that completely covered their eyes.I grew my hair long and made sure my bangs covered most of my face, with them inching toward my jawline.

When I decided to rent a camper van for a short road trip in January, I admittedly didn’t know where to start. Quickly, I learned there are three main sites for RV rentals: Outdoorsy, RV Share, and Cruise America. After doing some research and reading multiple RV blogs, I found most people agreed that Outdoorsy was the best of the three.
