what are the pro's & con's of renting an rv?
I'm thinking of renting a class B or C rv. This would make it my first time driving a vehicle like this, other than a u-haul. I'm looking for any warnings, tips, suggestions, etc. before i do so. ...

We rented for 3 years before taking the plunge.
Pro's:
1. You get to experience RVing before making a huge investment.
2. Learn RVing ins and outs on someone else's rig.
3. After your trip, you give it back. The problems you experienced during the trip are no longer yours to deal with.
Con's:
1. Renting is EXPENSIVE! They charge for everything.
2. You USUALLY are not allowed to tow with a rental unit. Some places block off the hitch or pull it out completely.
3. Who knows how other renters lived in that RV?
All I can say is don't rent from an individual unless there is some kind of road-side assistance. I always rented from the big companies, just in case stuff hit the fan while on the trip.
Just me $0.02. Hope it helps.
