Pick the Perfect RV Rental

There two broad styles of recreation vehicles (RVs), the drivable and the towable. Generally neither style requires a special driver’s license and both are easy to learn to drive.

What are the types of drivable RV rentals?

The main types of drivable RVs are the Class A motorhome, Class B motorhome (Campervan or Camper Van) and Class C motorhome. Class A motorhomes are generally more luxurious, lengthier and costlier to rent than Class B and C. Some motorhomes have diesel engines. Class A motorhomes with the diesel engine at the rear of the coach is called a diesel-pusher. Class C motorhomes are usually built on a van frame and feature one of the sleeping areas over the cab and usually have a gasoline engine. Class C motorhomes are very nice and comfortable and usually less costly to rent than Class As. Another type motorhome is the popular Class B or camper van which is smaller than Class C making it easier to maneuver and appeals to minimalists.

What are the types of towable RV rentals?

The main type of towable RV is the bumper-pull Travel Trailer. These are towed with the trailer hitch on the bumper of a car or truck. A Travel Trailer can have all the amenities of a motorhome but is less costly to rent. They also offer the convenience of having a separate vehicle once the trailer is parked. The type and size of vehicle and equipment needed to pull a travel trailer varies with the size of the travel trailer and must be confirmed with the manufacturer’s ratings and the rental owner. There are several other types of Travel Trailers, including: the 5th Wheel with its two levels is generally heavier than a bumper-pull and is pulled with a special 5th wheel pickup hitch, the Toy Hauler, that can also transport motorcycles and/or ATVs, the Pop-up, the least costly of all, that can be pulled with a smaller vehicle and expands when set up, and the Hybrid which is a cross between a bumper-pull travel trailer and pop-up travel trailer with sleeping areas “popping out” of the end(s) when set up.

The perfect RV rental for you depends on your budget and specific needs which can help you make the decision. Also, the length and how many the RV will accommodate for sleeping is very important. Keep in mind some campgrounds including the ones at most National Parks limit the length of the RV. Be sure to coordinate this detail into your planning. Another consideration is hook-ups. Some campgrounds do not have full hook-ups. Full hook-ups are drinking water, electricity and sewer. Finally when it comes to electricity find out if the campground has 20 Amp, 30 Amp and/or 50 Amp electrical hookups. The RV will be rated for one of these for electrical power. 50 Amp and 30 Amp RVs are backwards compatible with a dongle; however the power may not be enough to run all of your electrical requirements. On the flip-side 20 Amp and 30 Amp cannot run on 50 Amp under any circumstances.

Without hook-ups you can still camp in an RV. However, you would have to carry your water in the onboard fresh water tank, dump the sewer from the black water tank and connect to an electrical power generator for electricity. Some people like to go off-grid to camp and this is called boon-docking or dry-camping.
