Must-see Monuments and Landmarks Near Maine
In between the parks and cities of Maine sit a number of must-see sites, many of which are family-friendly and historic or educational, such as:
Portland Head Light: Inside of Fort Williams Park in Portland, Maine, sits the Portland Head Light, a highly historic lighthouse. Used once to light the way for ships entering the Portland Harbor by Cape Elizabeth, it is now preserved as a landmark that can be visited. Dating its completion back to 1791, it also happens to be the oldest lighthouse within all of Maine.
Portland Observatory: Also located in Portland is the famous Portland Observatory, the one and only remaining historic maritime signal station in all of the United States. A must-see landmark that was built in 1807, it reflects the history of the "Golden Age of Sail" and a unique way that ships were once observed, which is with a powerful telescope from miles away.
Victoria Mansion: Another beloved Portland landmark, the Victoria Mansion, is a standing example of Victorian-era home architecture and design in the U.S. Both the interior and exterior of this historic home are conserved, and tour tickets of the home are offered year-round. Special holiday-themed events are offered in December for the "Christmas at Victoria Mansion" season.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Class B RV Near Maine
How do I properly pack and store my belongings inside a camper van rental, and what storage options are available?
When renting a Class B motorhome from an RVshare owner, there are typically several storage options available for your belongings. You can utilize overhead storage compartments, under-bench storage, and even cabinets for heavier items. When packing your belongings, it's best to use soft-sided luggage or collapsible containers to save on space. Keep items secure while driving by using bungee cords or tension rods to prevent shifting during travel.
Can I drive a camper van rental in Maine without prior experience, and are there any special driving considerations I should know?
Driving a Class B motorhome rental is typically similar to driving a regular car, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Make sure to adjust your mirrors before setting off and be aware of the height and length of your vehicle. It's also advisable to take a test drive around the RVshare owner's neighborhood to familiarize yourself with the handling and braking of the vehicle before embarking on your trip.
What kind of maintenance or upkeep do I need to perform on the camper van rental during my rental period?
The owner of the RV is responsible for maintenance. Renters should keep the RV clean and handle with care to avoid any damages. You may need to empty the water tanks depending on your agreement with the RV owner.
Do I need to know any weight or height restrictions when driving a camper van motorhome rental in Maine?
It's important to know the height and weight restrictions of your camper van rental in order to avoid accidents or getting stuck in low clearance areas, especially when traveling on highways or bridges. It's also advisable to check local regulations regarding weight limits when driving on certain roads.
Can I park or store a Class B motorhome rental in a regular parking spot or garage in Maine, or are there specific requirements for parking and storage?
Parking a Class B motorhome rental in a regular spot or garage can be challenging due to the size of the vehicle. It's important to check local regulations and parking restrictions before setting off on your trip. RVshare owners may also provide guidance on where it is safe to park or store the vehicle.
What fuel efficiency considerations do I need to consider when driving a Class B motorhome rental, and how can I minimize the impact on my fuel costs?
Most Class B motorhomes are relatively fuel efficient, but it's important to be mindful of your driving habits in order to minimize fuel costs. Avoid idling the engine unnecessarily, accelerate smoothly, and avoid excessive speeding. It's also a good idea to plan your route before departing in order to avoid getting lost or taking unnecessary detours.

RVshare owners will typically provide instruction manuals or walkthroughs of the rental vehicle's features.
Should I bring my entertainment equipment or appliances for the camper van rental, such as a portable grill or music player?
While some Class B motorhome rentals may include entertainment equipment or appliances, such as a grill or music player, it's always a good idea to double-check with the RVshare owner about what amenities are included in the rental. If you have specific entertainment preferences, you may want to bring your own equipment or devices.
