Considering taking a trip this summer and the idea of renting a travel trailer and having it delivered to our destination came up.

Would be two adults, 11 year old and small dog.

Having never slept in a travel trailer or RV, can anyone share their experiences? Showers, bathrooms, cooking, etc.

Will probably only stay for for 2 nights and then pack up to move to a new location/trailer.

Pretty sure a lot of rv rentals are minimum 3 nights, maybe I'm wrong.

How are you getting to the destination? Flying + RV rental would probably cost more than just driving and getting a cabin/hotel.

Are you travelling out West and moving around a good bit? What's your need for getting an RV?

The whole fun of having an RV or towing a trailer is getting to drive in it to your destination and seeing the country in a huge RV.

You have to get one with slides though. Those make all the difference in the world.

Many rv parks have showers and bathrooms.

But a cheap foam pad from Walmart for like $30 and the mattress in the rv will be more than fine.

We did a cruise america for 17 days out west from Florida and it was a fantastic trip. Highly recommend trying out. Many rv parks are really nice. It’s very easy especially the cruise America RV’s as they are set up for dumbasses to rent. Our family of 5 stayed in one and yes it’s quick showers get wet, then water off, use wash cloth to clean, turn shower on and rinse off. But we all used it like that and had no problems.

It’s not luxury but sometimes it’s nice to get the hell away from luxury and be in the outdoors and appreciate creature comforts.

We did this last year through RVshare, 2 adults and 2 teens. The RV we rented was under 30', I was worried about my wife being able to drive it but I ended up doing it all. We took turns showering at rv parks that either didn't have showers or really dirty ones that nobody wanted to use. My wife and I slept in the bed above the front of the rv, and the kids took turns with the main bed in back and the couch bed. My wife did an excellent job of prepping before the trip, she cooked meat for meals like spaghetti or burgers and froze it. Overall, it went pretty well but we did run out of some food and just bought some at a Walmart. I did figure out pretty quickly that I had to hook up the hose for the Grey water because everyone showering filled the tank faster than I expected.
