Private RV rentals

I see a lot of ads for Craigslist from people renting their RV or people who buy 4 or 5 trailers and keep them in their back yards to rent out.  A few of our customers have told us horror stories about these kinds of rentals - going to pick up an RV and finding it doesn't work or the people rented it to someone else instead and never told you, trailers with bald tires and things like that.  When these people advertise their trailer for rent for $50 a day or an RV for $100 a day, keep in mind that they are operating "under the radar" and don't have to pay for a business location, workers' compensation insurance, payroll tax, a full-time technician to do safety inspections in between rentals, liability insurance, etc.  If you are lucky enough to find an honest RV owner who rents his unit out, keeps it well-maintained and clean, and is organized as far as taking reservations, delivering the RV, etc. - great!  But usually you get what you pay for.  Our company employs a full staff to make the rental process run smoothly and ensure a fun, safe vacation for our renters.
