I know the arguement will be coming up soon and I for one just don't think it's a good idea.

I simply make it a policy not to lend out my cars, trucks, motorcycles, or camper. Unless I REALLY trust the person, and that person has the means to replace anything they break. I can think of 2 maybe 3 people I would lend the above items too. 2oldman • View posts Moses Lake Senior Member Joined: 04/15/2001 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/19/12 12:26pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Rent or loan MH Rent MH 2 (2009) Loan TC Rent 5er lend 5er lend camper Lend horror story 2011 Should i rent out ? 2012 paulcardoza • View posts Southeastern Massachusetts Senior Member Joined: 01/15/2010 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 01/19/12 12:28pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator There are no reasons that they are going to be happy with, so just tell them that you refuse to let ANYONE else use it, PERIOD.

Assuming the insurance liability for someone else driving your rig is not something I would do.

You might even want to see if anyplace near you or them does rent RV's, then you could give them that information when you tell them "NO".

TX Senior Member Joined: 03/28/2008 View Profile Posted: 01/19/12 12:41pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We lent our old 5ver to our DD & her DH...It was an older rig and I was wanting a newer one but it came home with a broken awning and door window as they didn't know how (well enough anyway) to put the awning up and it was getting stormy so they were hurrying...We had insurance but still guess who ended up dealing with the problem! It was a housing situation not just for a weekend trip but still it was a pain that I hope I don't have to do again, and don't plan on...but never say never in certain circumstances, I might thme but no one else. 2003 Holiday Rambler Alumascape 34RLT Qcampers • View posts Long Beach, California Senior Member Joined: 05/18/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/19/12 12:42pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator If they are reasonable/logical at all...they should understand the issues. When we started RVing with a pop up camper, there were so many steps opening it up, stableizing, breaking down....if these steps where not done in the correct order, or skipped/forgotten, then severe damage could occur to the RV. This still applies to trailers, 5th wheels and class A's. It's not like a stick home, where the most important thing is to lock the windows and doors, maybe turn off water so pipes don't freeze in winter. Why do you think that "rental" trailers are in such poor shape...?? End of issue. mlts22 • View posts Austin, Texas Senior Member Joined: 11/15/2010 View Profile Posted: 01/19/12 12:42pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator With all that can go wrong on a RV, there is no way I would even think of lending my rig out. The sole exception is a good friend of mine who has worked in RV repair for 10 years and knows my rig better than I do. It doesn't take much to cause major, expensive repairs (even for a DIY type.) Something as simple as leaving the refrigerator on for a few hours on unlevel ground will result in permanent damage that won't be found until down the line. Or someone getting drunk and stuffing beer bottles down the toilet, which means a tank drop and replacement.
