Does the Air Force rent Travel Trailers?

yes. nac

Dahlgren Naval Base here has three or four trailers on the road for their MWR members...

GOVT retires including DOD Civil Service all can use the MWR facilities after they retire...

Military MWR (Morale Welfare and Recreation) departments and activities are almost completely NAF.

NAF = Non-Appropriated Funds

None of the money comes from Congressional appropriations - i.e. Tax Dollars.

The money comes from profits from the base exchanges and the operations of MWR facilities like a base bowling alley, RV park, golf course, etc.

Most bases have a Outdoor Recreation division where military people can check/rent recreational equipment - backpacks, tents, canoes, fishing equipment, many other things that it would be impractical to purchase/ store on a military base. The idea being that folks living in a barracks can't keep such items in their living spaces. (Usually they also rent lawn mowers, string trimmers, hedge clippers - it's outdoor, but I wouldn't call it recreation.)

The first time I used Outdoor Rec was in June 1972 to rent a sleeping bag and a tent. A friend and I hitchhiked from San Diego to Riverside to watch the NASCAR race - pitching the tent in the infield.

Some bases are large enough, and have enough business, to purchase small trailers and rent those. Usually they stay with single axle size because they can be pulled by SUVs and smaller pickups. Few military people will have a HD pickup if they don't have their own trailer.

Over the past 18 months I've seen rental trailers at/ from - Laughlin AFB, Del Rio, TX; Lackland AFB, San Antonio, TX; Naval Station, Mayport, FL; Charleston AFB, SC; Navy, Army and AF trailers from the Norfolk Area; USMA West Point, NY; Hanscom AFB, MA; Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, OH & NSA Millington, Memphis, TN.

I've sure there are many more bases that rent trailers.

Yes they do in Alaska.

Neat.

They possible could. When I was in the Army stationed at Fort Belvoir, VA (Just south of Washington DC, near Mt. Vernon), they had a couple pop-ups you could rent out at the AAFES exchange. We actually did this a couple times. That was 30 years ago, so yes, I would think the Air Force would do the same thing. AAFES stands for Army Air Force Exchange Service. It was the service that provided amenities to service members, like on-post craft shops, swimming pool, basket ball courts, stuff like that.
