Try Before You Buy

With prices starting around $30,000 for the base model, the Impression is an affordable option for those looking to purchase a new travel trailer. However, renting one through RVshare for $145 per night allows you to thoroughly test out the RV's features, layout, and towability before making a long-term commitment.

Renting an Impression lets you experience the unique floorplans and amenities of the different models firsthand. You can see how well the sleeping accommodations work for your family and get a feel for the space with and without the slide-out extended. Towing the Impression with your own vehicle also allows you to assess its maneuverability and impact on your gas mileage. For those new to RVing or uncomfortable towing, RV delivery is a convenient option to still enjoy camping in the Impression.
