RENTING
A TENT TRAILER
Never
tried RVing before? Renting an RV makes perfect sense for today's
traveler. RV travel gives you freedom and flexibility and lets
you feel at home, even as the view out the window constantly
changes. There are no long lines, canceled flights, lost luggage,
or suitcases to pack and unpack as you make your own schedule
and travel in complete comfort. It's perfect for every members
of the family!
Our
tent trailers are easily towable, ranging in weight from 1,000
to 1,500 pounds, and easily hitch to your SUV, truck, mini-van
or large sedan. Of course, youll need a proper hitch and
some information regarding trailer weights and towing capabilities.
Then, youre free to roam the country, confident that a
dry bed, storage for your gear and a hot meal await you.
Tent
trailers deliver a major upgrade from a tent and sleeping bag,
not to mention a much more reliable and durable barrier against
the elements. Upon arrival at your campsite, the unit folds
out into two large "wings" (usually through the use
of a crank), which serve as two separate sleeping areas. The
base of the unit, which indeed looks like a tent on wheels,
usually features a small dinette, mini-refrigerator, storage
areas and some kind of cooking appliances. Travelers are protected
from the elements by a mix of heavy canvass and hard-sided roof.
You
can rent the units for between $350.00 - $375.00 peak season
per week, a bona fide bargain considering its livability. A
family of four, particularly if the kids are still young enough
to consider sharing a bed fun, should have little problem eating,
sleeping and dressing onboard.
The
biggest challenge customers face is probably backing into their
campsite. Just take it slow and have your copilot hop out and
give you directions. Or better yet, opt for a pull-through campsite.
Once your destination is reached and your unit setup, your tow
vehicle is now free to transport the family into town, the amusement
park or other points of interest without a trailer in tow.
Families
who spent one-too-many camping trips suffering through cold
nights and gear mishaps often find themselves going with a tent
trailer rental as an alternative. For many, renting a tent trailer
represents a couples first foray into the world of RVing.
