Why Rent a Motorhome or RV? |
 September of 2021 Features: Liv2RV
"In 2013 we decided to throw caution to the wind and radically change our lifestyle. We sold our house, belongings, quit our jobs and purchased a 5th wheel. We are too young to retire, so we will be working and traveling around this great country of ours. Jonell has spent the last 10 years working at a level one trauma center as a CT Technologist, and Dan was a Math Teacher for 27 years. Originally we planned to work until "retirement age", and then travel the country. Life is too short. For the past several years, we have been following several blogs, reading books and attending rally's to talk with other full-timers. The one thing we hear over and over from other full-timers, is that they wish they would have started sooner. So when Dan hit the 'Big 5-0' in 2013, we knew it was time to pursue our dreams, and off we went. Currently we have no source of income other than our savings and the jobs we do on the road. As we begin to get a little older we do have IRA's, investments, a pension and Social Security to assist us with income. We plan on sharing our experiences work camping and playing tourist. We appreciate comments on our blog, and hope you will follow along on our journey." For more rv Blogs visit our RV Travelogues section. |

There are many reasons why renting a motorhome instead of  purchasing may be a good solution. For the individual who has limited vacation time, a short term vacation on wheels without the long term costs associated with rv ownership may be the best option. The outright costs associated with buying an rv from a dealer include; licensing fees, insurance, storage and ongoing maintenance. Couple these costs with a relatively quick depreciation rate and the motorhome rental option begins to look better by the moment.
Another reason to rent an rv is for first time buyers. Try before you buy. You may not always be able to rent the exact model rv you wish to purchase but you will be able to find out the things you must have and those you can live without. One can also get an overall sense of their comfort level driving, parking and living in an rv for a time.

Choosing an insurance company for your rv may seem like a difficult and confusing task but done correctly it will save you money and many headaches. Insurance coverage for RV's vary greatly in terms of items covered and in cost, so both aspects must be taken into consideration. What and how much is covered is a basic question, a good starting point is to look for companies which offer total loss replacement, purchase price guarantee, custom equipment coverage, awning replacement coverage, diminishing deductibles, full-timers liability coverage, vacation liability, emergency expense coverage and personal effects (contents) coverage.
You can save hundreds of dollars a year on motorhomes by requesting and comparing quotes from many companies. With most of the companies now offering online quotes, you may now compare many rv insurance companies with just a few clicks and a bit of time. Once you have all the quotes in front of you just compare coverage's based on your needs and budget. If you have any questions make sure to contact the provider to clarify them for you and always get it in writing. Our RV Insurance page lists many companies to begin your search. |
