Why Rent a Motorhome or RV? |
 January of 2019 Features: Maineiacs In Motion
"We retired from a full time work schedule routine in early 2005 and we have been enjoying our "mostly" retired lifestyle ever since. When not out enjoying America in our "rolling home" (2016 Winnebago Forza 34T) - we hang out in our other home in Topsham, Maine. Another year in the books! And what a year it was for us Maineiacs. On this date a year ago we found ourselves still freezing in Tennessee and heading further south to find some warmth. Today the high temp here in Maine is supposed to be over 40 degrees and we have almost no snow on the ground! We did find some warmth during our short visit to the San Antonio area of Texas and then wandered over to the Gulf Coast of Alabama to visit some Escapee friends at the Rainbow Plantation and enjoy all the Mardi Gras festivities. We picked up "The Wiz", our travel partner for 2018, at the Plantation and then drove over to Florida for a month of really nice weather and more visiting with friends. We made it back to Maine around the first of April to watch the last snowbanks melt. After spending our spring in Maine we made a short trip to New Jersey to celebrate our Granddaughter Graduation. We were on the road for most of July, August, and into September --- seeing what America had to offer, visiting with lots of friends and relatives, having a a blast at the McCloud High School Class of 1968 50th Graduation Reunion, and generally enjoying life. Now it's time to move on to 2019." 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. |
