There is a huge risk to the owner of an RV that chooses to rent it out to individuals starting with insurance liability and the issue of cleanliness There's so much that can go wrong on these especially the newer models. I've had many of them and it's not worth taking a chance repairs can cost thousands of dollars and generally are not caused by an accident so insurance will not cover it. Play it safe rent one from a dealer there are plenty of them to choose from or buy one and rent it out yourself when you're not using it. Over the years many people wanted to rent or borrow my RVs and never would I allow that to happen.

also Outdoorsy. .

We rented an RV trailer from Outdoorsy, and had no issues. . . you may have a mileage issue, which is stupid for a trailer, just a way to tease you with a low rate, and then increase their revenue for longer trips . .

Went from Maine to Canada last summer, PEI because now, US citizens can no longer by Canadian RE.. . . not that we were interested in buying, but because a lot of Canadians will own the vacation houses and use it versus rent it out.

The trailer was not a brand new one, well used, but just fine to sleep in and not have to own. . .

Personally I would rather use car and Motel it on the journey.
RV rental is not cheap, and they drink gas.
As a second option, buy a cheapo, and sell it it on return.
If I owned an RV, I would never lend or hire it to anyone.

For two months? Worst suggestion ever.

Not easy to leave your per at home for months. You can find rvs that allow pets. See it all the time when people rent

When we were seeing if owning an RV was for us we were living in Massachusetts and wanted to explore.
First trip was flying out to Salt Lake City and renting one from a dealer. Great experience, drove through Yellowstone and camped on Antelope Island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake.
Second trip was to Tampa where we rented one and camped at Fort DeSoto.
We are now frogs and drive to Maine and Canada each summer with the dog. We have a trusted dog sitter where we can leave the dog when necessary but he enjoys the trip.

Rented once from Outdoorsy, the fees were endless and almost doubled the cost of the rental. Better to buy one, take care of it and sell it when you are done.

We owned an RV for 5 years and would never rent it out…just too many things the renter could screw up/break. Renting for 1-2 months from a rental company will cost you a ton. I agree just buy a used one locally and sell it when you are done end of May which is prime buying season. The best company to rent from is a private guy in NJ called “84 RV Rental”. All their units are under 2 years old. Get a price from them for the timeframe you are looking for and you will see it might be less expensive to buy and sell.

Just a thought…someone currently has a small RV for sale in the classified section. If they haven’t had any bites, perhaps they would be interested in renting.

Go to Camping World on 441. They have several programs. Very clean and impressive. It's a public Company on the NYSE and it's run by Marcus Lemonis from 'The Profit.' If they can't help you, no one can!

Saw an ad in the Daily Sun recently for an even for rent. Not sure how long ago. Maybe this weekend.

Oh, I don't know. Might find out how liberated you can feel when you're not constantly having to consider the added costs, limitations and needs of a pet when trying to travel with one.

Rental will cost you a fortune. Buying and trying to resale will cost you a fortune. Motel/Hotel/Extended Stay is the only viable way.

We have rented multiple times from rvshare.com. you are renting from owners and can choose type of rv, size, years old, etc. Also used elmonte rv in Orlando for a drivable. Have talked with JourneyUSA out of Tampa and they have good rates also for drivables.

Be very careful with large dealers, especially this one. Read online reviews about their sales tactics and fees before going there

You can rent an RV close to where you are staying in NY. Drive there without it and use it there, and leave it there, and drive back. Win, win!

I could be wrong, but it sounds more like they want to drive it there from here and live in it for 2 months then drive it back.

Since you are looking to borrow someone's RV, how would you like to let them borrow your Villages home in trade?
