Outdoorsy RV Rental Image

Before you buy your first RV, rent first!

"If you are new to the world of RVing or considering buying your first RV with very little experience, I strongly recommend you rent an RV first. You'll learn a lot that first week or weekend about this RV thing. You and your family may love it or, as some families learned after spending thousands of dollars, you may conclude RVing is not what you expected." Dave Gray, Founder, Fifth Wheel Street

Fifth Wheel Street has partnered with Outdoorsy to help you find an RV rental near you.

Towable RVs—what you need to know

Before you rent a towable RV, it is very important for you to know what your vehicle’s realistic vehicle towing capacity (RVTC) is. You also need to ensure you have the correct towing equipment installed and is rated for the trailer you hope to tow. If you are a bit concerned about the safety of yourself, your family and others on the highway, it is essential that you ensure the RV rental will not exceed your tow vehicle’s weight safety ratings. Fortunately, we can help you with that. Fifth Wheel Street provides information you need to know, and with our industry-leading RV Tow Check app, you can learn what your tow vehicle’s RVTC is.

We had a great time in the 2018 Forest River trailer. Very clean, comfortable and the AC works great! Shannon was very nice and easy to work with. We will definitely rent from her again for all of our camping trips. I highly recommend her.

Gary is a true gentleman every sense of the word. This is it extremely executive level motorhome that we enjoyed the floorplan immensely. It drives like a dream. We had a couple small electrical problems call Gary he responded immediately and helped us resolve. Gary is a very honest man of high level of integrity, we would recommend him to anyone. This was a very special rental for both my anniversary and birthday and we enjoyed ourselves so much !

Christine was great to work with. Quick communication. We had a great week trip up PCH and through Yosemite. RV is comfortable, well appointed and strong up and down the hills along PCH and to/from Yosemite. Perfect for our family of 4. Highly recommended.
