To add to this list, a lot of the privately owned RV parks have 10 year or new rules for the age of the RV'ers staying at the park.
So beware of the age of the RV you are renting.

I don't have any first hand experience renting an RV, but it is something we've been talking about doing for a while. My two cents:
1) While it would lower the costs down and help with driving, I...

Any RV big enough to sleep 8 people is going to be too big to just take out sightseeing unless you're really careful about planning your stops, and even then there's plenty of places you just won't...

If you are driving across the country in a class A motor home you are wasting money. Much cheaper to rent a car and stay in hotels. Campgrounds are almost full and resemble miniature cities with...

For us, I have to factor fewer miles per day driving an RV than I would driving a car. My wife would pretty much only drive if I physically wasn't able to. For an eventual purchase, I'm considering a...

I had always wanted to rent an RV, and we did for a few days 2 years ago when moving our daughter into her dorm at college. We rented a small Sprinter-based Class C (sometimes called a B+) since it...

I've watched enough videos on YouTube about RVing to conclude that RVing is a terrible idea unless you are extremely wealthy, or something.

Sounds like a good opportunity to "try it out" although I wouldn't rent something so massive. You're right though, renting is a lot more expensive than you'd think, with per-day and per-mile fees...

Having just returned from a month-long RV trip with my family of four, it can be both fun and challenging. We didn't rent (I own a 28' Class A) but I imagine it'd be the same if I’d rented from...

No, you can still totally drive cross-country in non-RVs. People do it all the time.That being said, AirBnB stopped being as much of a cost saver compared to hotels in recent times.

I hinted at it, but the largest driveable one I can find to rent is 7 "occupancy" (sleeps). So I guess that would be your Class C.
Well, "Airbnb" somewhere would probably be flying, and...

Title basically says it all.... looking for people to give first-hand input on experience in renting an RV, e.g. things you'd do differently, stuff you didn't anticipate, etc.
