Why Rent a Motorhome or RV? |
 December of 2021 Features: We Two Travellers
"We are Ed & Linda, formerly fulltime cruisers, now living as C.L.O.D.'s (cruisers living on dirt) in north Florida and northern Colorado. This Blog is basically a way to keep up with the current happenings. Our old site was a sailing-oriented website that we kept and maintained for 20 years. As for us, we did fix the boat up over the course of 10 years YES - we did finish up our careers, sell the house and move aboard full time 2005. YES - we did cruise the Caribbean up and down all the way down to Venezuela and hang out in the island chain for almost 10 years, and YES - we did thoroughly enjoy ourselves while at it. When Ed's Mom was widowed for the second time and approaching her mid-80's we decided to cruise halftime in and around Puerto Rico (easy flights back home) and the U.S. Virgin Islands and St. Martin and spend half the year in our home in Orange Park, FL (bought in 2012 and made ready for this eventuality) which was about 10 miles away from her house. We stuck to this plan for about 5 years until she eventually passed away - RIP Mom. We got to the point that we couldn't maintain the boat up to our standards anymore, after which we sold our beloved Dreamtime and moved ashore for good. Since that time we have purchased the Keystone Cougar RLS26 for our summertime retreat (way too hot in FL) and parked it up in a canyon in Colorado."

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. |
