Tom Raper Rv offers "Try Before You Buy" (only on units in our rental fleet) program. A % of your rental fee will go towards the purchase of an RV.
What type of RV should I rent?That would depend on our situation and needs. Class C mini motor homes are built on a van chassis with a bed above the cab. They will sleep 4 and up to 10 people depending on the unit. Some are equipped with bunk beds. Class A motor homes are built on a bus chassis with the flat nose. They will sleep 4 and up to 10 people depending on the unit. Some are equipped with bunk beds Give us a call and we can help you pick the best Rv for your situation.Note - you can not travel more than the number of seat belts in the rental.
Do you need a special driver's license in order to drive an RV?No. You DO NOT need any special endorsement. However, you are required to be at least 25 years of age, have a major credit card, and carry current full-coverage auto insurance in order to qualify as a driver.
Is it hard to drive a motor home?Driving a motor home is not really hard - it's just different. There are a few things you need to be aware of, though. The driver sits higher in a Class A motor home. The driver is farther to the left of the center of the vehicle. MINIMUM height clearance is 12 feet on a motor home. Due to the length of a motor home, its turning radius is greater. Driving the Class C is similar to driving a U-Haul truck.
What's the difference between Class A and Class C RVs?Class A RVs are constructed on a specially designed motor vehicle chassis with the flat nose. Class A RVs are the "Big Boys" of the motorized RVs, and they are the most favored motor home of full-timers. A Class C RVs are built on an automotive-manufactured van and are attached to the cab section. A Class C RV is easy to identify - in most cases, a full queen-size bed is located over the cab.
Do I need Insurance?Yes, you are required to provide proof of insurance on the rental showing us as additional insured. If your insurance will not cover the rental insurance must be purchased through www.mbachoice.com.
What kitchen appliances come in RVs?Everything you have at home. Microwaves, refrigerator/freezer, stove top, oven, TV, VCR. Not all rentals are equipped the same and may not include all appliances mentioned.
Are there special terms or conditions for renting an RV?To rent an RV, you must be at least 25 years of age, have a major credit card, carry current full-coverage auto insurance and provide full coverage on the rental. If your insurance does not cover Rv rentals you can purchase RV rental insurance from our resources. Rent a minimum of 3 nights, and provide us 48 hours advance notice.
Can I take my pet in the RV?Pets are not allowed in our RVs. Stiff penalties are imposed if any signs of pets are found in the rental.
Do you allow smoking in the RV?Smoking is not allowed in our RVs. Smoke odors quickly absorb into the RV interior and are extremely difficult to remove. Therefore, we must impose very stiff penalties for any smoke damage, no matter how minor. If you want to smoke, we recommend you go outside on the downwind side of the RV.
Do you require a deposit for damage?Yes, part of the damage deposit is charged to your credit card at the time of your reservation. The balance of the damage deposit is charged at the time your departure along with your rental fee. Your deposit will be refunded barring any damages. However, any extensive mileage or generator usage will be deducted from your deposit upon return. A cancellation fee applies for all cancellations.
Are there any additional charges to anticipate?In addition to the rental fee, there is sales tax. Other potential fees that can incur would be for generator usage, mileage, damage, propane gas, gasoline, tax and any other extra equipment you might rent. Typical generator usage averages 1.5 hours per day. A generator runs the electrical devices in the RV. However, you can minimize this expense by staying in a campsite that provides electrical hookups. Naturally, your travels will require you to purchase gas. You can estimate between 5 to 12 miles per gallon under normal conditions depending on the unit. Remember, the generator also uses this same gas resource. The liquid propane gas is used for the operation of your water heater, furnace and refrigerator while traveling or if you are not hooked up to an electric source.
While traveling, how many people are allowed to ride in the RV?The number of people allowed to ride in an RV equals the number of seatbelts in the RV. Typically, this ranges from 4 to 10 people. Call us and we can help you determine what RV size you need.
Do we have to wear seatbelts?Yes, for your safety we recommend that you wear your seatbelt. Children in car seats are required to be in their car seat and will need to be placed in one of the forward facing seats. You are responsible for following each states seat belt laws.
Where can I pick up my rental?We offer two locations for pick up and delivery. Richmond, IN and Fairfield OH. Not all rentals are available at both locations and a delivery fee may apply. Please advise which location you prefer. Rentals must be returned to the same location as pick up.
Can I use the awning?No, use of the awning is prohibited. Awnings can be easily damaged by wind or improper assembly. A lot of insurance companies will not cover awning damage. We do offer E-Z up canopies for an extra daily charge.
