Whether you are taking a pilgrimage to the country music capital of the world just north of Murfreesboro or venturing to the Great Smokey Mountains to the east, this small Tennessee town is a great home base for your RV adventure. All you need to do is choose the Murfreesboro RV rental that's right for you.
Selecting the right RV class comes down to what you are looking for in regards to size, amenities, and drivability. Motorhome rentals in Murfreesboro come in three classes: A, B, and C. Class A RVs are by far the largest. These RVs closely resemble a large bus and are considered the most luxurious. Class B motorhomes are the smallest and most maneuverable. They usually only sleep one to two people and may include a kitchen. Lastly, the Class C motorhome is the middle ground between the two as far as size. They range from 20 feet to over 40 feet long and sleep from one to six people, depending on their size.
Tow-behind RVs, or travel trailers, come in all shapes and sizes. The towing capacity of the driving vehicle will determine how much the towable RV can weigh. A pop-up camper rental in Murfreesboro will usually be the smallest and lightest type of towable RV.
The best part of having an RV rental is camping out. Fortunately, Murfreesboro is surrounded by forested campgrounds full of amenities.
