Camper Trailer Rental Towing Vehicles
All you require to take advantage of a camper trailer rental is a vehicle for towing it. Luckily, camper trailers are much smaller than your traditional fifth-wheel trailer. Lower weight means a lot of vehicles can tow a camper trailer. Fifth wheels can be between 12,000 and 15,000 pounds. The average camper trailers weigh about half as much at around 5,000 – 6,000 pounds. So, rather than needing a heavy-duty truck to tow your camper trailer rental, you can use an SUV instead. Cars.com has a list of popular SUVs with the towing capacity to handle a camper trailer. The list includes:- Ford Expedition: 9,300 pounds

Types of Camper trailer RV Rentals at RVnGO
It can be confusing when faced with dozens of options of travel trailers for rent. However, some of the common brands of camper trailers you will see include Heartland, Forest River, and Keystone RV. The main difference between the various brands and types of a travel trailers is their size. Almost all travel trailers will function essentially the same. It’s up to you to decide which you prefer for your vacation or trip. Larger travel trailers like fifth wheels, typically cost more per night and require a truck with a much higher towing capacity.How Long are You Renting Your Camper trailer?
The cost of your rental will overall depend on how long you plan to rent the RV. For example, if you are renting for a couple of days, you will pay nightly prices. However, if you rent for a week then you will pay the weekly rate instead. For example, if a camper trailer is $100 a night and you rent for 5 days, then the nightly cost (before any fees or additional charges) is $500. However, for a week the cost maybe $600. This means you would have paid less per night with a weekly rental. If you rent for a month or longer, then you will pay even less per night.
One-Way or Return Trip RV Rental?
A one-way rental is a great way to take an RV rental trip without the stress of having to return your rental to the original pick-up location. If you plan to stay longer at your destination, then you do not have to worry about racking up fees with an active rental. Some hosts will offer renters the option to leave their RV at another location. You can enjoy your RV vacation, drop it off near your destination, and then fly back home whenever you are ready. A one-way may cost you less since you will need to drive less and may rent fewer days since you do not have to consider the time it takes to return it.How Far Are You Traveling with Your Motorhome Rental?

A travel trailer rental will still, overall, cost much less than other RV rentals like Class A or Class B motorhomes. While larger vehicles may have mileages around 7-10 mpg, an SUV that can tow a small camper can get around 20-25 mpg.Rent a Camper or Travel Trailer with RVnGO Today
