Vacation With RV
Have you ever dreamt of taking a vacation driving an RV in countryside for a few weeks? We thought we should help you by giving some tips for RV rental today.RV Types: The first question that comes to every RV-dreamer's mind is: What type of RV should I rent? The size you rent depends on how many people will be traveling. The vehicles most commonly available for rent are Type A motorhomes (sometimes called "bus" style, 27-36 feet long) or Type C mini-motor-homes (sometimes called "cabover" style, 17-27 feet long). Type A vehicles have a bedroom, a dinette that can be converted into a bed, and sometimes a sofa bed. Type C mini-moter-homes are smaller, with an additional sleeping area over the driver's cab, which is great for kids but can be a bit claustrophobic for adults. Both types have bathrooms with a shower.
Driving RV: Many rental companies allow you to try driving an RV before you rent. You should be aware of the vehicle's greater height, length and width. Don't take turns too tightly; You could run over the curb on right turns or graze oncoming traffic on left turns. Be sure to take sufficient care when backing up. Keep to the left in your lane to avoid drifting into the next lane to the right. And be aware of warning signs about low bridges or tunnels ahead.
Rental Cost: Rental costs vary depending on the season: higher in summer, lower in winter. Typically, a Type A motorhome will cost at least $130 a day plus mileage; a Type C will cost between $80 and $120 a day plus mileage. Bringing your own pots, pans, sheets, and towels will save you money.
Additional Costs: The main cost will be fuel. RVs usually get 7 to 12 miles per gallon, so the total will vary depending on whether you plan to travel every day or drive to a destination and vacation in one spot. Ask about fuel rebates. Other than fuel, campground fees can range from $10 to $50 a night, depending on the campground. You can save money by opting for only a water and electronic hookup instead of the full hookup which includes sewer.
