Your tow vehicle must be already to tow on the day of pickup. We want to inspect the tow vehicle PRIOR to the day of pickup to insure its readiness. You will need to have the correct wiring and brake control installed and an adequate hitch.
We have scheduled your pickup on the date listed on your reservation contract. The vehicle will be available for pick up between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM in the afternoon. PLEASE CALL US THE DAY BEFORE to set a specific time. By scheduling our pick-ups, we can process your rental faster and get you on the road quickly to start enjoying your RV adventure!
Returns are always by 11:00 AM. In order for us to maximize our short season we often book units out the same day. It is necessary for us to have as much time as possible to clean and safety check all rentals. You will be given a personal tour of the travel trailer. Be sure to schedule enough time for finalizing paperwork and vehicle instruction.
If you plan to drop off the trailer when we are not open, remember you are still responsible for any damage until the unit is pulled into our yard during business hours. Please park in the designated rental return area in the South West corner of the lot next to Kietzke Lane. Please do not pull in and block the driveway areas.
Upon return the interior must be clean. Interior cleaning will be charged at $115 per hour.
Do not use abrasive cleaners as they will scratch and cause damage.
