FAQs

Can we Boondock (use only the generator for electricity?

No, we prefer no boondocking, i.e. camping without plug in electricity and only using the generator. There is no issue with using the generator while traveling between stops but once you are at an overnight stop, please plan to plug it in, we may make an exception for football games as long as the generator isn’t constantly used. 

Is there a limit to the distance we can travel

Yes, we are limiting the radius around Des Moines, IA to approximately 500. Our RV is getting up there in miles and we want to try to keep the miles from going up significantly higher each year. 

What is the process for renting your RV

The process is pretty simple. Typically starts with some Q&A, sometimes folks like to see the RV which we can do too, after I have answered all your questions you would make the reservation, then I would share a few things to get done between the then and the picking up the RV, then on the day of pickup we would walk you through how to operate everything, usually about 2 hours and then you all have a great vacation.

What about insurance

Insurance is important in renting an RV.  The first thing to check is your current auto insurance will provide a rider to cover the RV rental, some do but most do not.  If that isn’t an option then you may select one of the peer to peer RV rental sites that provide insurance Outdoorsy (price of insurance is included in a service charge they add to our rental price), RVShare (cost of insurance is an additional charge of about $21 per day and done outside of RVShare).  If you rent direct from us, insurance can be purchased through MBA for $21 per day.  The coverage for the options mentioned is on the Rental Options page of our website.
