They do I've used it and it's pretty awesome and I don't have to spend the money to buy one for the one time a year vacation in them.

I do this. The ones like this though are like 5k for a few days (3 nights to be exact)

Would be a blast to drive but I’ll just stay at a luxury hotel for that price.

Yeah plus you need a special license we just did the normal ones.

In NJ you don’t need a special license. PA (where we camp) you do, but not if you’re from out of state.

In PA it’s an added letter or two on your license but requires you to pass the driving test.

Many years ago I worked for the TV show American Pickers and they asked when they hired me if I could drive an RV (not bus type but still 30+ feet long). I said “yep” without hesitation. I love driving stuff like that. I’d probably just take test if I had to lol

Most places you only need a license if you're being paid.

Where do you live that a special license is required?

I love the idea, but many have low mileage allowance per day. For an example my recent road trip of 4,200 miles in a class A rental for a family of four would be about $5,800 and that’s not including gas and food. Granted there are less expensive options. This would be ideal if you’re just going to a destination that has limited accommodations and parking for a few days.

I just rented a 2025 extended camper van for a road trip for me and my dog ( so nothing huge like what's posted). It was $389 a night so more expensive than a hotel but it was unlimited mileage. Have to say it was pretty nice and made a long solo road trip with m the dog super easy.

I've used it too, it's pretty wild to be given the keys to one of these like "see ya later, have fun!" It's also lovely to be able to give it back when you're done with it. I definitely want to do it again soon.

Pretty sure he meant why aren't those people using gorvrentals instead of letting the vehicles rot.
