Hi Everyone,

Looking for insight. I feel with age, comes RV'ing. Well, I'm 37 yrs old, and I'm looking to try it. Looking to rent an RV to sleep ~4 people, in July, for 5 days. A Thursday to Monday scenario. 1,100 km total trip. Just a class 5 license. No Airbrake etc; but licensed for 20 years.

Anyway, the challenge I'm finding, is that the RV rental companies won't rent for last than a week.

Recommendations?

Thanks
Cam

Rent it for 7 days then, extra day on each end. Pick it up a day early, give yourself time to load your stuff up. No rush to get home and unload it.

I would totally rent/ buy one of those old ish VW campers.
72hp should be plenty.

I second the whole week plan. Both places I've rented from, Canadream and Fraserway, are way out in the boonies (Airdrie) so it's a bit of a hassle to get thing sorted out. It's definitely nice to have the extra time to get packed up. As a bonus you'll get x mileage per day so the actual cost of those extra days won't be too crazy.
