Eugene, Oregon

An RV rental in Eugene is a great way to make your vacation a fun one, and RVshare is there to make sure it's also a simple one. Providing access to all manner of RVs within the area, we can connect you with affordable renters who want to work for you.

As easy as the Eugene RV rental process can be, there are still some things of which you should be aware of. In particular, you should think about which class of RV will most properly fit your needs. With three distinct options to choose from, each with their own pros and cons, you shouldn't be making this choice without some consideration.

If you're looking for camper rentals in Eugene with all the bells and whistles, you should go with a Class A. The largest of the classes by far, Class A is typically outfitted with the latest technology, a full kitchen and plenty more to keep you in the lap of luxury while on the road. Consequently, their large size does tend to make them hard to control on the road. Plus, they get poor mileage.

Class B RVs are the smallest type of RV. While they usually possess many of the same amenities you can find in Class A, they're scaled down to fit within the smaller vehicle. In addition to a lower price tag, Class B usually gets comparatively good mileage for an RV and gets around much easier without so much vehicle to haul.

Stripped down to just the basics, Class C is more function over form. While it likely has a basic kitchen setup and some quality of life features, that’s about all you can expect. It's also around the middle in terms of size, being larger than a Class B but smaller than a Class A. On the plus side, the fact it's built into a truck chassis makes it the easiest to control overall, making it an ideal RV for new drivers.

Your options don't end here, however. In addition to RVs, you can also rent a variety of pull-behind trailers that offer the same comforts of motorhome rentals in Eugene while still allowing you to drive your preferred truck or SUV to haul it around.

Just like RVs, there are multiple types of trailers you can choose from. Named for its ability to "pop up" or fold down as needed, a pop-up camper rental in Eugene might be ideal for those who have vehicles that aren't quite as powerful as the lightness of the canvas walls help reduce the strain on a truck's engine.

For an experience closer to the traditional RV, you could try the travel trailer. Inside, they're about the same as what you could expect from a Class B or C RV. The only major difference is their status as a trailer instead of a stand-alone vehicle.

The Class A vehicle of towable trailers, fifth wheels are enormous trailers that are steeped in luxury and have tons of features and amenities for the people lucky enough to ride inside them. They're extremely heavy, though, requiring a powerful truck with an in-bed hitch in order for them to move anywhere.

While not something you can live inside, the toy hauler is also worth mentioning as a means of moving your things around. Attached to the back of your vehicle, they haul things like jet skis or ATVs around that would be difficult to tow for most cars, enabling you to bring them with you on your vacation.
