What is 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.
