Why Rent a Motorhome or RV? |
 October of 2020 Features: Our Future in an RV
"I have lived in the Kansas City area my entire life. I've worked in law enforcement one way or another since 1985, working both full and part-time. I've always been an outdoors type beginning with family camping trips, Boy Scouts and all the free outdoor vacations paid for by my Uncle Sam while in the Army. I've owned a pop-up and 30 foot travel trailer in the past, as well as renting a 25ft Class C in 2015. Karen is originally from Michigan. Spent much of her working life in the health industry where hospital billing is her specialty. She retired in 2015. Decided to major in business while in college which made me a numbers person on top of being a micro-planner. Married my lovely wife Karen and never looked back. Now I'm looking forward to our retirement years and trying to not "wish my life away" waiting for the day to come. Feels like I'm 15 again, wishing I was 16 and could drive. When Karen and I decided traveling fulltime in an RV was in our future we initially thought 2023 was the year we would leave. Like so many others, we tried to figure out a way to leave earlier. To that end, I came up with our estimated retirement income and used budgets for our style of travel which other full-timers had posted. Then we started saving to leave earlier. In August of 2019 we sold the house and moved into the fifth wheel full time. I was still working for about the next five weeks before we left Kansas City. We ended up ordering a 2019 Vanleigh Vilano 320GK and bought a one year old dually Ram 3500." 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. |
