There is a $1000-$1,500 damage and cleaning deposit that are run on your credit card the day of pick-up as an authorization only. This puts a temporary hold on the funds. If you return the unit in acceptable condition based on your selected package, the authorization automatically clears from your account.

You need to arrange your own transportation through the local transit (Sound Transit), SeaTac Airport Taxi Service STITA Taxi, Century Car Services (1 to 14 Passengers) or rideshare (UBER, LYFT etc.). We are only located about 22 miles (approx. 25 minutes) from the airport and about a 5 minute bus ride within 100 feet of our location from the Tacoma Dome Station via bus 41 Pierce Transit.

Out Class C and B+ and trailers rentals have 30 amp connections and will come with an adapter for 15 amps (normal household plug). All campervans have use standard 15 amp household plugs.

Every RV rental is equipped with solar panels along with an onboard generator to provide power when you are unable to plug-in. The gas motorhome generators run off the same fuel as the engine.  The generator will power all items that require 110v power including the A/C unit(s), microwave, TV, and anything else you are trying to plug into a 110v outlet. Most campgrounds have posted hours that they will allow the use of the generator because of noise and fumes.

If these machines require a standard outlet (110v), you will need to either run the generator or plug the vehicle in to an external power source to plug in the machine as some of our units have inverters with extra batteries that you can use. As we do have a portable power station you can rent as backup that can be charged with solar panels or plugged into the rental as you drive. We suggest if camping Off-Grid to call us for further information on this as we will not be responsible if you do this yourself without informing us in advance.

Yes, but there are several factors to take into consideration. From first freeze to last freeze (approx. November – March), we have all our RVs winterized which means the water system is shut down and there is domestic anti-freeze in the systems. If you are traveling to a destination with freezing temperatures, you will not have use of the water system. If you want to use the water, and we deem the destination to have favorable weather conditions for water, there is a one-time $245 fee for the un-winterize/re-winterize. Insurance does not cover any damages caused by frozen holding tanks, waste tanks, water heater tanks, etc. If you choose to have water, and get damage from freezing, the repairs would be your financial responsibility.

Yes, there is either a 1.5 inch or 2-inch receiver hitch on the back if you have your own bike rack to attach. You can rent a bike rack from us for a one-time fee of $65.

The bills can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months to arrive at our office so we reach out as soon as possible.
