Is there such a thing as renting a motorhome with an option to purchase. Appreciate any information that is out there on this subject matter. Enjoy the weekend. Tatjana

I hate to burst your bubble Suchomlin, but I have never seen a Class B for rent. Class C's seem to be the rig du jour to rent, and they are abundant. And sure wouldn't want to buy one of those after it was rented, seeing how they are treated. Personally, I would rent a small C, then go buy one that wasn't rented after you find one you like.

Yep what Sprinter said!! You might find an owner that would rent you one for a week or two, but you would want to be careful with that kind of arrangement.

For sure do not buy a rented unit... I loaned my old tt to a friend and when she vacated it it was a mess... the stove which was in pristine condition was like a 50 year old out unit... it took hours to get a few layers off from it... you never know how they are treated...
I think your first MH is a trial and you learn what you want and need by the end of the first season...
Best of luck...

I found this site that offers Class B's for rent in 4 states. Very expensive thought. As to renting from an individual, my insurance is with Progressive and they said it would not be covered it if I rented mine to anyone.

This site in CA has rentals

this is the site I picked Ca from that shows the other states they are available.
