When it comes to choosing the “best” winter RV rental, there are a few excellent choices each with its own set of pros and cons. While most of our guests at Expedition Motorhomes are drawn to the summer months, there is something special to be said about RV rentals in winter. With a winter RV rental, you can enjoy all of the same freedom and adventure as in summer.

In Winter you will get quieter roads. There are many winter destinations to explore in California, and well, of course, California's National campgrounds look different during winter. That being said, there are certain challenges and things to consider when exploring California in your Los Angeles motorhome rental during the colder months – especially if you hope to head into the mountains. Having been in the RV rental business in California for as long as we have, the following are some of our top recommendations and considerations you should take when renting an RV for the winter season.

Travel Trailers

Pull behind travel trailers have always been a popular motorhome rental option in Los Angeles. They make a great winter RV rental choice as well. Travel trailers are rather easy to tow. You can enjoy the comfort that accompanies driving your own vehicle should winter conditions present themselves. Further, these trailers are generally well-insulated. Although you can always add temporary additional insulation if you have concerns – and allow you the freedom to disconnect the trailer from the towing vehicle. This enables you to explore much more freely and more easily check out places where you may not want to drive a full RV rental.

Class C Motorhomes

Class C motorhome rentals are an excellent option for the winter months. They are a bit smaller than full-size Class A alternatives. Depending on where you are hoping to explore, Class C RV rentals in winter can provide a little more stability and peace of mind on the road. If you expect to be exploring mountain roads or in inclement weather, many of our guests find these RVs easier to drive. They do not, however, offer quite the same level of luxury as a Class A motorhome so you may need to pack a bit differently or consider adding extra creature comforts on your own!

Class A Motorhome Rental

Class A motorhomes undoubtedly provide the most comfort and luxury in the RV world. The importance of this cannot be understated if you truly anticipate exploring the coldest and wintery places that California has to offer. Things like radiant floor heating, on-demand hot water, electric heating systems really provide an exceptional level of comfort. However, be aware that Class A motorhomes are much bigger and can be more challenging to drive if you have not driven large rigs before. Add on the challenge of winter driving conditions and you really need to be on the top of your game when travelling from destination to destination.

RV road trips in the wintertime are truly magical. For many of us at Expedition Motorhomes, it is our most favourite time to travel. While it may seem intimidating at first, and there are certainly a few extra things to consider, there is something special about the quietude that accompanies a winter adventure.

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

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.

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 travel with the jamboree 23 ft for about 20 days around California and nevada without any problem.Everything worked the way it should.

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!
