Newbie with only Cruise America experience
Hi, I'm planning to rent a class C next summer for 4 weeks and tour the west with my husband and 3 kids. I've done a lot of research, but our only experience is using pop-up campers when we were kids...

1st. Cruise america MHs are better constructed and with much less equipment than normal motorhomes. I had taken apart 5 different motorhomes, the Cruise America are built to survive abuse. The noise level is relativelly low compared to my Chateau, Coachman Mirada or Jayco.
The ride in a rented motorhome from CA is due to 2 things:
1) Tire preassure: They force 80 PSI when you don't need it (liability for sure)
2) The never change the shocks or properly mount the tires.
Currently I own 2 retired CA motorhomes. One with 150K and the other with 125K. Both engines and transmissions run perfect.
I rent mine out. I have an LLC and propper insurance, as well as road side assistance. That is where the private rental gets difficult. A rearly used motorhome is much worse than one that gets exercised regularly.
Motion sickness for some people gets better if you ride in the front for a while. Other people take dramamine.
If you go with the private rental make sure that you have rental insurance and road side assistance.
Unless you drive them before you decide to rent them you won't know if the ride any good.
