![]() The RV came with kitchen items, bedding, towels, an outdoor table, movies, and more! Other than clothing and food, we didn’t need to bring anything. It was more expensive, but it would have covered almost anything had there been a problem. The owner we worked with required the highest level of insurance. Outdoorsy also requires that you buy some level of insurance through their site. While we fully trusted the owner and he seemed like a fair, honest person, the photos insured we would not be responsible for any damage sustained before we took it on the road. We recorded mileage and generator readings.Īs we went through the process of getting to know the RV, I took photos to upload to the Outdoorsy website. We filled out paperwork from Outdoorsy and both parties initialed that everything was in order and we were fully educated. He made sure we knew how to operate everything, how to dump and refill, and how to troubleshoot issues that may arise. When we met the owner at his house to pick up the RV, we spent about an hour going over the vehicle. George, about 80 miles from where we intended to park it for a week. ![]() We also needed to sleep four people as we had our two teens with us. Most rentals have a limit on the number of miles you can drive per day (100 miles/per day seems to be pretty standard) without paying extra. Second, we wanted to get as close to the campsite as possible before picking up the camper. When looking through Outdoorsy for the right RV to rent I considered two things: First, it had to be something we could drive as we wouldn’t be bringing a vehicle to tow a trailer. ![]() There were several spots down the road in Kanab to do the same. ![]() We were only a couple miles from a service station in Mount Caramel Junction where we could dump the black and gray water, refill freshwater, and refill propane tanks. Plus, without having to pack up in the mornings, we could get a move on the activities that drew us to Utah - or just hang around the campsite. We kept our RVs in the same spot for seven nights since it seemed a little crazy to move around trying to find new spots with three RVs during the busy spring break season. I still like to check out those spots on Google Earth to get a better idea of what the driving and parking conditions look like. Sometimes we match the locations found in one of the apps to Google Earth to get a better idea of what the spot looks like, which is nice if you want to know how much backing in will be required.Īnother option is to grab a state atlas and look for sections of public land. It’s easy to search for dispersed camping sites, campgrounds, and RV parks. We like apps including Campendium, FreeRoam, and The Dyrt. There are a couple of ways to find a campsite once you narrow down the general location. That meant boondocking.įrom previous trips, we knew there were plenty of great sites for RV camping between Mount Caramel Junction and Kanab. There are several RV parks in Kanab and Mount Carmel Junction where we could have hooked up, but we liked the remoteness of a BLM camp and the cost (free). These public lands are both abundant and free in southern Utah. ![]() We already knew we wanted to stay in southern Utah and the three families agreed that we’d prefer camping on Bureau of Land Management land. ![]()
