Motorhome FAQs

Motorhomes serve a plethora of purposes, and RV rentals in California are the perfect way to see if – or what kind – of motorhome living is right for you. From family-friendly road trips to bachelor and bachelorette parties, motorhome rentals in California are a great way to spend quality time together while harnessing a sense of adventure. More and more, the experts at Expedition Motorhomes – the leading provider of motorhome rentals in California – are answering questions about RV retirement.

While certainly not for everyone, RV retirement can be an incredibly fun and rewarding way to enjoy your post-work life. In general, RV living is a different way of life and takes some adjusting. Before fully committing to RV retirement, consider reserving motorhome rentals in California and going on a couple of smaller trips to see if it is right for you.

Benefits of RV Retirement

While retiring to an RV isn’t for everybody, there are many benefits to this unique lifestyle. To start, RV retirement can be rather budget-friendly – especially if you already own an RV.

Campgrounds are affordable – sometimes even free if staying in national forests or on BLM land – and utilities are negligible. This simple form of living requires you to keep costs and belongings to a minimum, ultimately saving you money in the long run. Additionally, the national park's lifetime Senior Pass costs $80 and gives you unlimited lifetime access to every destination in the national park system. This incredible deal is also the perfect way to enjoy some of the most spectacular landscapes and wild places in this country.

Further, if you are eager to travel, RV retirement creates the perfect avenue to escape cold winter weather, visit family around the country, or live life on the move. The unlimited freedom of picking up and choosing a new destination whenever you want truly can’t be beat.

Who should consider retiring in an RV?

Retiring into an RV isn’t for everyone. However, if you have always been a traveller or have a keen sense of adventure this unique way of life is certainly worth exploring. Further, if you have always wanted to travel but have been held back by work or family now may be your chance! Perhaps you love where you live for the summer months but the winters are cold and demanding. Seasonal RV retirement is a great solution to this as well. While it may not be for everyone retiring to an RV can be temporary. You can pursue it seasonally, give it a try for a quick month, or try it for a year or two to find the perfect balance for you.

There are many outlets for buying an RV in California, and Expedition Motorhomes is the leading provider of RV rentals in California. If you choose to buy an RV you can always sell it or rent it through a consignment program(like the one we offer).

If retirement is in your near future, and doing so in an RV speaks to your romantic adventurer side, give the experts at Expedition Motorhomes a call today. We’re always eager to help our clients make their dreams come true.

It was awesome. It was so great. It was so fantastic. We loved the RV. It was so accommodating. It was only three of us: [me] my husband and my son and we had a wonderful time. Thank you for renting to us and we will definitely be renting again.

Chris

California

From Toronto, Canada. We came down to Expedition to pick up an RV for a special surfing vacation for my son here who turned 15 this week. I gotta tell ya, it’s been an awesome experience. We went up the coast to Santa Barabara and down. We had perfect sites of the beach; looking at the ocean. He got a chance to experience surfing the California way – an overall great experience. RV was just the way to go. Made it a beautiful experience for us. The people at Expedition were perfect; helped us out throughout… were very kind and generous and we just had a great vacation because of it. So I recommend anyone whose thinking about it… Definitely call Expedition. You’ll enjoy it and you won’t regret it.

We flew from Europe and rented a motor home from ExpeditionMotorHomes.com. And, it was a fantastic experience from start to end. When we arrived, we had… the staff was very friendly; taught us how to use the motor home. They had videos online you can practice with and look at. And the actual trip, the quality of the motor home was perfect. This was the first time for my family and I and it will not be the last. We will be doing this again and obviously from the same supplier because everything from start to finish was perfect.

I have rented from this company seven times in the last eight years. They do an amazing job. Most recently, I had errored on my departure date (I should have looked at the contract when they sent it to me!) and when I arrived a day early, they accommodated me. Thank you, Matt, for making a year without Martin easy! I recommend this company to anyone wanting to rent an RV. It’s so much easier than you think.

California

The Expedition Motorhome family took great care of our family. This is our third straight year renting trailers and RV’s from Expedition and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. They are a small shop with big customer service. The RV’s are in great condition on the inside and under the hood. We drive to the Tahoe area from LA every year and they make the long haul with no problems. We camped with other families who rented from other vendors and had nothing but problems. See you next year!

We had a great experience with Expedition Motor Homes. My family and I rented an RV for a weekend camping trip, something we had never done before. The staff was extremely helpful and informative, and everything went smoothly. The RV was in great working order, very clean and great looking. We will definitely rent from the again in the future!

This was our first rental from Expedition. Everything went smoothly. They had excellent customer service from the beginning to the return. The RV we rented was in great condition, with the exception of a few minor issues. These issues didn’t cause any trouble, and I know they will have them fixed for the next renter. We are already looking forward to our next RV vacation, and we will be sure to use Expedition!
