Looking to rent a Class C MH at the end of January for KOH.  Besides Cruise America, are there other popular corporate sites?  

Anyone have experience using the sites like Outdoorsy?

 
Why corporate?

I used El Monte RV and Cruise America and they both way overcharged for what you get.

Find a local private rental, that quickly became where I rented from.

The "Home" Rentals were better then the small business owners is also worth noting. 👌

I figured private would be better, but I was just putting it out there. THX

 
Hit up Blake Rennie of Big Bear / Johnson Valley RV rentals. He used to post on here all the time before the crash. 

 
We're going to KOH this year, place at Pioneer Town,.. using the Suburban for spectating... I've been to KOH a bunch of times.. briging some serious fire works too.

I've known Blake for over 10 years.. he's a good dude. I think he has like a dozen rigs.. haven't spoken to him for a spell. His buddy was my lawyer back in the day.

Diving deeper into this.  The "rent by owner" sites are more than CA.  By ALOT!

CA has 30'+ class c for $99 a day.  After all the BS, a 7 day trip is ~$1300.

RVeasy (and any similar site), newer similar RVs are $150+ a night, and the fees nearly DOUBLE the trip cost.  This was a '22 24' Class C...

I looked into a few on outdoorsy thinking I could sell my 5th wheel and just rent for the 2 Glamis trips we make each year.  It was looking like almost 2000 for a week after all the fees.

Found the same thing looking for a rig to rent in Colorado for a hunt. Killed the idea

 
Pick up the motie and head to Walmart for all the stuff you need. Just get the cheap stuff and toss it when you're done

I won't need any of it.  It's just most of that is supplied with the "owner" ones.  Like most everyone on this site, I have BOXES of camping chit.

As do I but to lug it around to put in someone else's motorhome just to pack it all up in 7 seven days might be more trouble than it's worth

Me rigging up a temporary trailer brake solution will be a bigger hassle than paper plates, red cups, a pot, and some trash bags. The CA units only have a 4 pin.  The trailer my "quads" will be on needs to have a functioning brake controller.

Probably won't even need the p plates.  Us neanderthals typically only eat with our hands... LOL

That is something I have considered myself using a relay and a power source lead with something like a battery clip to connect to a power source. It would send a full 12 volts to the brakes but for me I'd need it all anyway. But in that case just wiring in a brake controller down near the hitch temporarily didn't seem like much more work. Finding a wire that lights up with the brakes that's not also a turn signal presents a challenge also. Or just don't signal

The unit noted above plus THIS is my plan.  With a couple wires ran to the coach batteries for power/additional ground.
