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.
Ogunquit Beach: In Ogunquit, Maine, is the Ogunquit Beach, a white sand beach known for its extended shoreline and low tide. At the beach, visitors can enjoy deep-sea fishing, whale watching, sailing, sea kayaking, hiking, and golfing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Motorhome Near Maine
Do I maintain or service the motorhome rental during my rental period?
No, it is the responsibility of the RVshare owner to ensure the motorhome is properly maintained and serviced before your rental period. Just take good care of your rental and keep it clean.
Are there any special driving considerations or techniques I should know when operating a motorhome rental in Maine?
Yes, motorhomes are larger and heavier than most passenger vehicles, so it is important to allow for more time and space when turning, merging, or stopping. Additionally, it is recommended to drive slower than the posted speed limit and to use caution when driving in windy or wet conditions.
How do I properly level and stabilize a motorhome at my campsite or RV park?
Motorhomes typically have built-in leveling jacks or blocks that can be adjusted to ensure the RV is level and stable. Some RV parks may also provide leveling pads or blocks if needed. Discuss your campsite with the RV owner ahead of time and they can provide you guidance on stabilizing.
What kind of maintenance or upkeep do I need to perform on the interior and exterior during my rental period?
You should keep the interior clean and tidy, empty waste tanks as needed, and report any damages or malfunctions to the RVshare owner. Exterior maintenance such as checking tire pressure is also recommended.
Does my motorhome rental come with bedding, linens, or other items I would consider to be personal?
This varies by RVshare owner. Some owners may include bedding and linens, while others may require renters to bring their own. It is best to check with the owner prior to renting.
Should I bring entertainment equipment or appliances for the motorhome rental?
While some motorhomes may come equipped with entertainment options or appliances, it is always a good idea to bring your own if desired. However, be mindful of any limitations on power usage or space restrictions. Check the RV listing or ask the RV owner what kind of entertainment is included.
Are there any limitations on where I can park or store a motorhome rental in Maine, such as zoning laws or homeowners' association regulations?
There may be restrictions on where motorhomes can be parked or stored in certain areas. It is best to research local laws and regulations or to ask the RVshare owner for guidance.
What fuel efficiency considerations do I need to consider when operating a motorhome rental?
Motorhomes are not typically known for their fuel efficiency, but there are steps you can take to improve gas mileage such as driving at a lower speed, avoiding excessive idling, and keeping tires properly inflated.
How do I properly operate and maintain the various systems in a motorhome rental?
The RVshare owner should provide you with detailed instructions and manuals for operating and maintaining the various systems in the motorhome. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper use and prevent damage.
Are any unique features or amenities available in motorhome rentals that may not be found in other RVs in Maine?
