Good day. My wife and I have been discussing getting into RVing. We are a fairly young family living in California with two daughters. There seems to be a lot of opportunity out there to get out and see the west. Take the kids, leave the cell phone and internet behind, enjoy some country and eachother. We have an occasion to try it out coming up, and I have deciided to rent for a three day trip with just the wife and I. I know nothing about this, so this will be a trial before we take the whole family out and have a vacation with the kids go awry.
We have a 24 ft Class C reserved from a "national" rental company. But, yesterday after visiting a local dealer, I think the wife is having second thoughts. After touring some new RV's we took a look at a used one similar to what we are renting. I know its the salesmans job to create doubt about a rental, and try to sell a new one, but we're atleast a year away, and I want to be sure before I invest. And with the depreciation, new just isn't for us. So, while taking a look at this used one, it was clear, it was not in too good of shape. And, quite frankly, it stunk like, well you know. . . I am not sure if the black tank needed a dump, or if someone was in it dumping if you will, as the bathroom door was locked.
So, my question is what do I expect from this "national" rental company? Will it be clean? Is everything going to work right? Shoud I continue to pursue this rental or should I look to another local outfiit?
I would really like this to go well, and I need to put my wife at ease. I can still back out of the rental and not lose anything as we are not scheduled for atleast another three weeks.
Thanks for any advice. Feel free to email; [email protected]
