Try Before You Buy

Starting at approximately $25,000, the Forest River RV Salem Cruise Lite represents a significant investment. Renting one through RVshare for around $120 per night allows you to fully experience the RV's amenities, living space, and towing requirements before making a long-term commitment.

Renting lets you determine if the Salem Cruise Lite's sleeping accommodations suit your needs, from the queen bed to the convertible dinette. You can also gauge how the kitchen's appliances and storage work for preparing meals. Towing the RV yourself helps you assess what type of vehicle you need to safely pull the trailer, depending on the model. For those hesitant about towing, RV delivery directly to your campsite is a convenient option many owners offer.
