Prior to Arrival
Please Choose Before you arrive, it is imperative to make sure your tow vehicle is in good working condition, meets the renter’s insurance requirements and has the proper working equipment and towing capacity. If you are unsure, I would be happy to assist you. Here is a list of the basic towing equipment you will need:
-
Proper Hitch class and weight rating for rented camper
-
Receiver Hitch with 2 5/16” ball (Adjustable ball-mount hitch highly recommended)
-
(A Weight distribution and sway control hitch is available on most units)
-
-
7 way round connector for trailer lights and brakes
-
Brake Controller
Note: It is highly recommended that you check your vehicles trailer wiring and brake controller operate properly before arrival.
Non‐working or un-safe equipment will prevent you from the use of the camper and delays can result in late pickup fees.
What to Expect
Upon arrival, we will provide an educational walk-through of the entire interior and exterior. Please plan on at least 45 minutes to an hour for the entire pickup process. We will demonstrate how to use everything in the RV, including appliances, power and water hookup, extending and retracting the awning, and driving lesson for our drive-able units. Remember, there is no dumb questions! Our goal is for you to feel comfortable on how to use all the systems with ease. (Taking videos or photos is encouraged!) Please show up on-time to avoid any late pickups fees. If you find yourself running late, please let us know as soon as possible. We will work with you the best we can. Communication is key!
Setup/Hookup
Additionally to the educational walk-through, we will instruct you with attaching/detaching the camper to your tow vehicle. Next, we will demonstrate how you would setup the camper at your campsite. This will include techniques on how to secure and level the RV using provided equipment such as leveling blocks, chocks and tongue jack. Refer to our convenient setup and departure checklists for assistance!
Note: It is the renters responsibility (or approved driver) for making sure the camper is securely attached to the tow vehicle prior to departing.
Paperwork
We will complete a few forms prior to your departure that will include needing your initials and signature. The person listed on the reservation must be present for pickup and delivery. Here are the documents I will need from the listed renter: (Having copies made or emailed or texted prior to arrival can help save time!)
