Frequently Asked Questions

Do you deliver and set up the RV, or do I need to tow it myself?

We handle everything. Fireside RV Rental delivers the RV to your campground or property and performs complete setup including leveling, connecting utilities, and positioning the awning. You never tow or drive the RV—you simply arrive and start enjoying your vacation.

What is your cancellation policy?

We offer a full refund if you cancel 14 or more days before your delivery date. Cancellations 7–13 days out receive a 50% refund. Cancellations within 7 days are non-refundable. We recommend booking early, especially during peak season (October–May).

Do I need a special license or endorsement to rent an RV?

Since we deliver and set up the RV for you, you don’t operate it—a standard driver’s license is all you need. However, if you choose to relocate the RV yourself (not recommended), you may need a commercial endorsement depending on the unit’s weight. Contact Rob Campbell for details on your specific rental.

Can I take the RV out of state?

Yes, out-of-state travel is permitted. We recommend discussing your itinerary with Rob Campbell when booking so we can ensure your rental is suitable for your route and that you understand any extended travel policies.

How do I choose the right RV size for my group?

Our fleet includes travel trailers and fifth wheels in various sizes. Larger units offer more sleeping space and amenities, while smaller trailers are easier to maneuver at campgrounds. Visit our RV rentals page to see floor plans and specifications, or call us to discuss your group size and needs.

Are pets allowed on the RV rental?

Yes, we offer pet-friendly rentals. A pet fee applies, and you must disclose all pets at booking. Please let us know the type and number of pets so we can ensure the unit is suitable for your group.

Can I use the generator during my stay?

Generator use is permitted during standard hours, typically 7am–10pm, to be respectful of other campers. You are responsible for purchasing and providing fuel for the generator. Most campgrounds with full hookups do not require generator use.

What comes inside the RV?

Every unit includes a full kitchen with appliances, comfortable sleeping areas with linens, an awning, all utility hookups (water, electric, and sewer), and basic amenities. Specific features vary by unit—check the RV rentals page or contact us for details on your chosen trailer.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (October–May) when availability fills quickly. For last-minute rentals, contact Rob Campbell directly to check availability. A 3-night minimum applies to all rentals.

What is the minimum age to rent an RV?

Renters must be 18 years or older with a valid driver’s license. For specific requirements or group bookings, contact Rob Campbell to confirm eligibility.

What happens if the RV is damaged during my rental?

A refundable security deposit is held at booking to cover potential damage. We also offer a damage protection plan that limits your financial liability. Normal wear and tear is expected, but significant damage may be charged against your deposit. Review all damage terms before signing your rental agreement.

Can I extend my rental if I want to stay longer?

Yes, extensions are available subject to availability. You must request an extension at least 48 hours before your original return date. Contact us as soon as you know you’d like to stay longer to secure additional nights.

What cleaning standards are expected when I return the RV?

The RV must be returned in the same clean condition as when you received it. This includes sweeping, wiping down surfaces, and removing personal items. A cleaning fee will apply if the unit requires professional cleaning due to excessive dirt or damage.

Are weekly and monthly discounts really available?

Yes. Weekly rentals receive a discount compared to nightly rates, and monthly rates offer even greater savings for extended stays. Visit our RV rentals page to see current pricing, or contact Rob Campbell for a custom quote based on your dates and unit selection.
