Observation on rentals

[leggy]

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 get level. Not only, isn't that bad for the fridge, but how do you sleep?
Then there was the parking, the one backed into a log at the back of site and gave it a little more gas because he didn't know he had hit something and wanted to be back farther.

The company I work for usually rents a TT for a trade show in September. I am always amazed at how beat up the rental is inside after 1 season. My last RV was in better shape inside after 15 years.

None of the 3 RVs I have rented from big name rental companies in the US/Canada since 2008 had levelling blocks supplied. Plus, many people who fly in and rent *are* actually new to RVing, or at least only do it every couple of years.

The fridge issue they will find out the next day...

And re. backing into a log: I just remember my first day ever in a rented Class C. We didn't back into anything, but some of the smaller trees in a supermarket parking lot near Phoenix may have lost some branches until we got it all mastered... 😉

I own a former rental RV. They don't have leveling devices built in. I use those orange Lynx Levelers when I have to. And yes, if you are too un-level, the fridge will have an "A" error. I personally like sleeping with my head higher than my feet so if I am slightly un-level that way, that's OK. We all were newbies once upon a time. And I think that renting an RV for the first time is a great way to see if you like the RV thing or not.
