RV rentals

Why do folks rent an RV? There are some really sound reasons.

If you are thinking about buying an RV, it makes sense to rent one first, and take it on vacation - to make sure the RV lifestyle is for you. Even if you are already convinced that you will buy an RV, by renting one first you will make notes of features you want   to order on your new rig.

If you live in Boston, and you want to vacation in the Grand Canyon, you'd spend your whole vacation driving there! Don't do it - fly to a city in the West, and rent a motorhome, then enjoy your entire vacation in the West.

When you figure in all the costs of owning an RV - depreciation, maintenance, insurance, financing cost, storage fees (some communities won't allow you to store your RV in your driveway) it just might be cheaper to rent for a week or two, only when you need it.

Most of these RV rental companies have locations near airports in major US cities. They will pick you up at the terminal, give you some brief instructions on operating the RV, and you are off on a wonderful vacation. And you can either pay extra to rent things like bedding, towels, and cooking utensils, or box those items up and ship them to the rental location in advance.
