This summer is a perfect time to rent an RV or a campervan. With an RV rental, you can easily go way off-grid and stay far away from people.
If you’re looking to try out boondocking, or free camping on BLM or National Forest Service land, you’ll need to find an RV or campervan rental equipped with solar panels, batteries, a water tank and toilet with a holding tank.
Even in our tiny Chevy Astro van, we are able to go off-grid for up to a week at a time.
In these uncertain times, it’s good to plan a vacation where you can self-isolate in your own rig. No need to find public restrooms or use a campground water tap everyone is touching.

RV Rentals Near You
An RV rental comes in a variety of shapes and sizes.
You can choose a larger RV, like a Class A or Class C, perfect for an entire family or if you want a little more space.
A campervan or Class B RV is more versatile and easier to drive, but make sure it has a self-contained bathroom. Some custom van builds don’t include a bathroom, so search carefully!
A truck camper rental is great for exploring overlanding routes, where you need a high clearance 4×4.
And you may consider a travel trailer if you prefer to leave the rig somewhere and explore in your tow vehicle. And there are travel trailer rentals small enough to be towed by a midsize car

How does it work to rent an RV on Outdoorsy?
Outdoorsy is a peer-to-per rental company, which connects renters with owners.
When you go to book an RV rental, a request will be sent to the owner, who will confirm and discuss details.
You and the owner will decide on pickup and drop-off times, which will vary depending on the owner’s schedule. Picking up and dropping off will require flexibility on both sides.
What’s cool about renting with a company like Outdoorsy instead of an RV rental company like Cruise America is that there are so many unique rental options.
You can choose between a vintage VW, a Jeep with a rooftop tent, or a traditional Class C RV.
When you go with a company like Cruise America you’ll only be offered a rig they own and have in stock, which is usually a more traditional-looking RV.
