Renting one for about $160 per night through RVshare allows you to test out the RV's unique layout, sleeping arrangements, storage capacity, and towing requirements without a long-term commitment.

Renting also provides an opportunity to see how well the Wildcat's amenities, like the spacious kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and entertainment system, meet your family's needs on a real camping trip.
