Hello mate,

either it depends on cost.

Im planning to being around elsinore and perris from 15th dec-15 jan.

Can you help with any for onr month?

thanks



If you have wheels, Hemet has a bunch of motels that rent by the week and month.
Check out Verizon's yellow pages. Look for places on Florida Ave from Sanderson to Palm Ave.
From the outside most of those motels look ok.
I don't think the RV parks have rentals per say.

Hemet is 20 min from Perris and 45 from Elsinore.
If you have to take the bus, double those times and you won't be at the DZ either, so you'd have to have a plan for that.
But I have an extra bicycle that you can use. They have bike racks on the buses.
Of course, if it's raining you'll get wet.

Perris is a high crime area.
Sun City does not have the cheaper motels - just the major brands.
Elsinore only has a few motels.
There's one or two motels in-between Perris & Elsinore.

Both DZs have bunkhouses, and Perris also has a house called the IHOP that's been converted into a bunkhouse-style lodging. Those are likely to be your cheapest options, if you can handle communal living and shared showers.

Hello Mate,

What im really looking for now is the cheapest campervan i can rent as i would like to be able to park and sleep outside both drop zones on different days and have the option of driving doiwn to arizona if the weather turns bad.

Any idea of a close and cheap place to rent one?

Thanks

There is an RV Rental place on Jefferson in Murrietta, IIRC it's just south of Winchester (across from a Thai place I frequent) Can't recall its name off the top...
Renting an RV is going to be LOADS more expensive than what Jan suggested. Rent a car, sleep in bunkhouse or cheap hotel. Hotels very close to Elsinore are the Casino and Quality Inn, less than 3 mins away from here.

For a situation like that, you might look into buying a van or PU w/shell on your first day here and then selling it when you leave.
That would be the cheapest, but it does have some extra logistics.
Rentals of mobile RVs will cost much more than a motel or onsite DZ housing plus rental car for the same time period.
See autotrader.com etc
There may be some Class C RVs that may be ok, but usually they are old and have high mileage.
You could rent a van too from regular rental places. Bring a sleeping bag and you should be set.
A trek from Perris to Eloy - even in winter - should be done with a good vehicle and lots of water.
There are looooong stretchs of desolation, where you don't want to break down on.
