Observation on rentals
I understand that most who use rental RVs are truly newbies, but on my last trip there were 3 class C rentals in the immediate area. Biggest thing I noticed about each was they didn't even attempt to ...

I like rental rv people. I go out of my way to talk with them. And we own an X-rental. Our frig/freezer in ours was replaced before we bought. Maybe because of hard use? I know its worked fine since 2009. I use blocks of wood to get level when need be. Which isn't very often, just pick a place that's somewhat level to begin with. Last couple I talked to that was renting, was for their honeymoon.
I too seek out renters to chat with. Often they are from Europe and beyond and generally appreciate a little local knowledge. I have spoken with dozens of renters over the years and not once have I encountered one who had even heard of Tow Haul... much less knew how to use it.
Just another reason I would never purchase a former rental. They get seriously abused {like cooking transmissions by not using TH}, and every Class C that blows by me doing 75+ has been a rental. Running refrigeration well out of level or running the AC with low voltage {ever see an EMS or even just a Surge protector on a rental?}
Renting is expensive and using a coach that has been used/abused by lots of folks before you eliminates a number the reasons for RVing in the first place. Many are very happy with their purchase of a former rental and I wish you all well but.... Caveat Emptor.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV.
