Squeak 17 #1 May 17, 2011 I'm looking to rent a Campervan like This type when i am in the States in December. Does anyone know of rental agencies i can check out. All the places i have found so far only do the Motorhome minimum size, and consequently cost. Id prefer the Van type linked, for price and ease of driving and it's the same as the one i ownAny useful help appreciated ThanksYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

davelepka 4 #6 May 17, 2011 You're going to SDA, right? Something about 400 hours in the tunnel..... Anyway, look into renting a room from a local jumper, and renting a tiny little car from a regular car rental place. Both will offer discounts based on the rental being for an entire month, and the tiny little car will get 40 miles per gallon, saving a ton on gas. If you rent a motorhome, it's a fortune to rent and pay for gas, and even then it sucks for running into town or to the store. The little car is perfect because you can rent a room within 20 min of the DZ, drive back and forth every day and still not use much gas. It's just a thought, but you might be able to meet or beat the price of the motorhome rental, and be more flexible going this route. You've got 6 months before your trip, so it's not like you don't have the time to look into it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked into renting a small car, the time frame i am there and the accoomadations will be about the same as a small motorhome, and the motor i am planning on traveling from LA to ELoy in.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

davelepka 4 #9 May 17, 2011 I think it was Chuck B. aka SkymonkeyOne. I don't know if it's still there or available, but that's one idea if he can get a motorhome to Eloy, use the Chuck-mobile for daily running around. Of course, with 850 hours of tunnel time booked, when is he going to have time for running around? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
