RVshare

RVshare is a market of peer-to-peer recreational vehicle rentals. The site has a range of options to select from, whether you want to drive the RV like a van or tow it behind you.

• Class A motorhomes: Class A motorhomes are the largest and most expensive recreational vehicles. These bus-shaped recreational vehicles can be up to 45 feet long and accommodate several people. Class A RVs typically include a secondary sleeping space and come with plenty of amenities.
• Class C motorhomes: Similar to Class A motorhomes but smaller, easier to drive and less expensive. Class C motorhomes offer a compromise between Class A and B.
• Camper vans: Also called Class B motorhomes, camper vans look like an oversized van. Most class B motorhomes can accommodate two people.
• Travel Trailers: Travel trailers come in a range of sizes and allow you to use a car to visit locations near your RV site. You can tow a travel trailer with a truck or SUV.
• Fifth wheels: Fifth wheels resemble a mobile home. They have an overbed hitch, full kitchen and bedroom. You can tow a fifth wheel with a full-sized pickup truck.

RVshare uses Instant Book to connect owners and renters.

• For RV renters: If you want to rent an RV, start by browsing through your options. You can filter searches by price, features, reviews and more. Once you find an RV you like, you can reserve it instantly through Instant Book.
