May 2004 Renting an RV for a week Feb-Apr 2004 RV for Road Trip May 2003 Older Recommendations More advice about Car Rentals Small RV to rent mid June? May 2004 We would like to rent a camper van or small RV for a family get-awayin mid June. Can anyone make a suggestion? Are there private partyrentals out there? My husband and I have a clean driving record andwould be able to take out supplemental insurance, etc....The cruiseamerica agreements are so restrictive and pricey!lj We recently rented a VW Camper Van from California Campers in Redwood City for a week-long trip down the California Coast. We rented a 1988 vehicle that worked great, has a pop top that sleeps two and a pull out back seat that also sleeps two. Working stove, sink and refrigerator in the van. We brought our dog and it worked well. We had a wonderful trip and the price was pretty reasonable (I think it worked out to about $700 for the whole week.) The guy who runs it is very laid back and helpful. Anon Hi, just my input on CA Campers and renting a Westy, which we've now done twice. LOVE the camper itself for our family of 4, and the first trip several years ago was wonderful. The second time around, the original van broke down so the owner drove a new one to us (4 hours away!) and swapped it out and covered our motel. Then it broke down a second time and we had to get it fixed ourselves since we were by now at least an 8-10 hour drive away. Not necessarily a negative reflection on CA Campers, but on renting a circa late 1980's van (mechanically easier to fix than the new ones, but somewhat risky in my opinion). Have fun!anon Renting an RV for a week Feb 2004 We want to rent a medium-sized RV for about a week this summer. Has anybody done this before? If so, where should we go to do it? What should we look for and what kind of questions should we ask?Thankshappycamper Our son (7) has become enamored of RVs with an ''upstairs'' as he calls them. We would like to rent one for a week or so, but I have looked and looked on the internet and even the smallest ones (I prefer small, actually) cost almost $1,000 a week, with limited mileage! I also looked into the VW campers (although I'm not sure they would be entirely satisfactory to my son...), but they, too, are prohibitively expensive (about $750/week with limited mileage). So... before I give up on my son's top vacation request, does anyone have any suggestions for less expensive ways to rent?never thought I would ask this question... Hi I found your post interesting because I have seen other familiesinquiring about RVs. Last year I got lucky I got a FREE 25 footWinnebago Brave RV from Craigslist. Its a long but very nicestory. Anyways, she is in good condition, but has needed someupgrading which we are doing little by little. Our next projectis upholstery and tires. Then she is ready to roll. Because Iwas so lucky, my family and I would like to offer ''Winnie'' toother families for short trips. While she doesn't have anupstairs, every kid I have known thought it was the coolestthing. It has a TV, Radio Casette player with surprising goodsound quality, stove and fridge that operate on propane, bathroomwith shower. It also runs on electricity.Of course Winnie would be much less affordable then renting fromsay El Monte, but I think she would suit your needs. We are justtrying to defray the cost of upgrading her.If you are interested, send me an e-mail at ljkwaiting AT earthlink.netLori RV for Road Trip May 2003 I'm thinking of renting an RV this summer to road trip back to the Midwest and have already checked with Cruise America but it's too expensive. Does anyone know of any alternatives? If you've done this before do you think it's worth the expense? I have two children under 4 and the thought of us being cooped up in our car that long is not very appealing! Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks.Jackie An RV will provide you an alternative for accomodations, butwon't change the driving experience: your children will need tobe in their car seats whether they are driving in your car ortraveling in an RV. So if they have a hard time traveling a longdistance in the car, the RV would make no difference. It doesgive you a lot more flexibility about where you stop for mealsand for the night, though.Barbara I am trying to answer your query before my husband does because he will tell you that renting the Cruise America RV was one of the finest, funnest things that he ever did with his (our) life. Here is what I consider to be the objective reality:1) We rented a Cruise America RV--one of the bigger models--to go from New Orleans through LA and MI, up to Oxford, MI (Faulkner's birthplace and home) and back to New Orleans, in a weeks time. We then recuperated in a 5-star hotel for another week. 2) My then two-year old son and 8 1/2 year old daughter thought the RV was the finest thing since Ben 'n Jerry's ''One Sweet Whirled.'' They got such a kick out of the concept and journey. 3) I find these things intimidating to drive--our wonderful nanny and my husband drove it with ease; I did not, and would not, drive it. I had visions of getting stuck under overpasses and taking out whole city blocks of innocent bystanders. 4) Someone has to ''hook up'' the darn thing in the RV parks, and, worse yet, let the ''junk'' out--''junk'' is my euphemism for bodily waste. 5) For some reason, even though we paid for a larger model with a ''complete'' bathroom, we never showered in the RV. We used the showers in the RV parks, and other RVers seem to be doing the same thing. Don't shower where you eat, maybe? I don't know. It just seemed to be everyone's instinct. 6) The hotel on wheels concept mitigated, and, maybe, even eliminated, arguments about some of us not being ready to go. My husband merely disconnected us, stepped on the gas, and we were on our way. So, in this way, the RV may be a friction-reducer. 7) There is another outfit, with Swiss-manufactured RVs (Mobius, or something like that)--they looked sleeker and more modern, but they had not outlet in New Orleans. There are only a few of them in the States, I believe. 8) Would we do it again--absolutely. My husband and children and nanny and, okay, I, had fun. And the photos of our life in the RV are precious. 9) You might ask if Cruise America offers a AAA discount. 10) Feel free to e-mail me, not my husband, if I haven't covered something. 11) Oh, yes, factor in gas costs--gas is much more expensive than when we weGlad I did it, ONCE!P Older Recommendations 1999 I rented a camper van from someplace in hayward. It was just me and myinfant daughter. It was pretty spendy and fun. The camper could easilyhold 2 children and dogs contained a toilet stove microwave and fridge.Presumably if youd only be using it to sleep in and not stuck in the raininside with all mentioned family members it would cheaper then a Rv. My family of 4 just rented an RV and traveled to the Grand Canyon over the Easter Break. We had a blast...really relaxing for everyone and a fun, safe adventure. We rented our RV from CruiseAmerica and you can find out all about them at www.CruiseAmerica.com. You pick it up out on 66th near the Oakland Coliseum. We rented a 20' and got "upgraded" to a 24' which was fine but I still would go smaller next time. They give you a terrific book on all RV parks in the US so we would just figure out where we wanted to stop, read a description and head that way. We never made reservations, but I would recommend it for inside the Grand Canyon (we just got lucky). The CruiseAmerica units are fully contained, clean, and well-maintained. We only had full hook-ups one night and it never was a problem. Getting the fridge to stay cold is a little tricky on just propane, but we figured out the trick and the rest of our trip everything stayed cold. Inside the Grand Canyon (South Rim), I would recommend Camp Mather which does not have hook-ups but is much prettier than the camp with full RV hookups which is more like a parking lot. I would also recommend that you pick up your RV unit and then go home and load it because the RV does not come with ANY kitchen utensils, blankets, pillows, or anything and while you can rent a "Personal Package", they are expensive and not extensive at all...we just brought all of our own which was more comfortable and easier.
