We rented TTs for years with no interest in owning one. At the time we could pay $300/weekend once or twice a year. The kids were happy, I didn't have to worry about monthly payments, storage, maintenance, tires, etc.
What we did learn from renting is floorplan. We rented a different model almost every time. By the time we decided to buy we already knew the toilet had to be located a certain way, what showers to avoid, How much storage and closet space is required and not to get a slide that blocked the restroom.
When you start renting TTs pay attention to what works for you and more importantly what doesn't.
Have Fun
