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.
just in case.

thanks

  • Be sure to turn off the generator when in a campground. Seriously.. many people don't know that.
  • Pro's: 1.You get to wear it out before it finds a happy home.
    2.Try before you buy, if you don't like it don't buy one.
  • A "C" is no harder to drive then a U-Haul. Make sure you get a complete rundown of all of the systems before you drive away. Figuring out how to light the stove when you are all alone is tough. Most of the rental RV's I have seen are beaters. They are the reason that the term "Drive it like you rented it" was coined. They are basic low end units.
  • Insurance coverage/liability

    Break down.....who handles and what about associated costs
