A quick search under Renting RV will bring up more. The only way I would rent an RV is if I purchased it solely for the purpose of renting.

I agree 100% I watch a lot of people on YouTube with rv's and I wonder how they even get through life let -a-lone a first timer. If your not getting enough use out of it, sell it and become the renter, plenty of people do it just not me!

I KNOW that I wouldn't even let a family member borrow my rv. Most people have no idea how much there is to learn about all the various systems; monitoring panel, numerous switches, power cords, hoses, dumping, satellite Dish, leveling jacks,etc.........I felt like I went back to school with a huge stack of manuals to study when I first bought my Solera. Plus I also learned alot on this very helpful forum. I have become even handier now than I ever anticipated.

Funny you said this, my brother-in-law asked in a round about way if he could take our new TT and truck to his wife's family reunion or something like that, we didn't even have it in the driveway for 24 hours! Now he's not an idiot but zero experience towing anything let alone a 53ft set up.

I give!
I won't even consider it anymore.
Thanks again.

Love it... finding your surrender in the middle of the "generous" responses.
At its best, this forum is a vast think tank with centuries of experience - then there's all the other stuff we get to sort through.

Any details you can add?
Is it only for prospective buyers?
Is it cheaper/better units than the rental companies like Cruise America?
Etc.

I would just call local RV dealers where you live. I know of the 3 largest dealers in the STL area, at least one (Byerly RV in Eureka) has a rental program, not exclusively for prospective buyers. Don't know about the other two. I'm pretty sure none of the Camping World dealerships rent RVs, but not 100% sure. And, mostly what you are going to find available for rent are Class C units.

As far as how prices compare with companies like Cruise America, I can't tell you that. Never checked...
