I would post his business and address and phone number to let Trailer owners know where they can get a Wheel bearing pack for $55. Wheel bearing packs are done once a year or every 5000 miles. You pull them once a year to check the bearing and races, not just to pack the bearings. Also to make sure you do not have a seal leak. Pack Fee and PREP fee? BOTH are a cost of doing business. To list them is just gouging. He should include them in his weekly/daily rate. I assume he is checking your mileage at rental/ How else would he know how many miles you put on the trailer. besides, YOUR mileage will not be towing the trailer as you will unhook and then use the truck for various excursions and trips. SO, HOW will he verify how many miles are on the Trailer? Doug
One of the many rules was "The speed limit while trailering is 65mph and is enforced via GPS reporting.", so I guess there is some sort of GPS tracker on the rig?
There was also a bunch of harsh penalties including deposit forfeiture for any of a number of listed infractions, such as taking it on a beach or to "Burning Man", whatever that is.
Frankly I would have bypassed based on red flag radar and how paranoid the owner seemed with all the rules (as compared to what other private RV owners renting their rigs poast as their rules), but I was really interested in that particular trailer as it is a model I would consider buying if we liked traveling in it and we decide to keep the Jeep as the TV.
I don't think there is any chance we'd want to buy the model I ended up renting, but it will serve us well nevertheless because a lot of the trip is just about being on the road, practicing arrival and departure from RV campgrounds, seeing how the Jeep GC does as a TV, etc.
