A Job Well Done
Dear Joyce,
Thank you so much for all of your assistance. You have such a sweet and
professional manner. We will recommend Owner's Rental to everyone. We hope
to do business with you in the future.
Thank You, Roland and Mary Martinez.
The Trailer Baby
Dear Mrs. Stevens... Incidentally, FYI, Kathy conceived on her trip to the
west and was delivered of a beautiful daughter the following June. This was
a surprise. She and Andrew had decided long ago to forgo family life. They
both have interesting and lucrative careers and Kathy had her fortieth
birthday in January of 1991. Katie, a delight and a joy, has transformed
their life together. We call her the Trailer Baby.

Toy Haulin!
We recently rented the Bob C. Toy Hauler... both Owners Rental & Mr C
were great to work with. Bob C was very nice to work with and the unit
was in excellent condition. We hope to be able to have the opportunity to
rent in the future and highly recommend Owners Rental and the Cannings.
Another satisfied customer!
Jeff, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner... I came back to a mess at
work....but it was worth it!! We had the Arizona trip I had dreamed of.
We really like Arizona and we really liked RVing! You were right however
on the whole Hopi/Mesa part. It was a long drive in the desert.....the
Petrified Forest was nice though.Hillary and I both were a little nervous
about renting an RV. I kept telling her it will be fine...I met a guy
online from Phoenix and I know I can trust him. From the minute we met you
and your wife we both knew everything would go well. You both made us feel
welcome and calm and at home. You gave great clear instructions for your
unit and supplied us with everything we could ever need for a great
vacation! You both went above and beyond what was necessary!We can't thank
you enough...if you decide to come to New York please let me know ...you
are welcome to stay here as our guests.Eric, Hillary, Matt and Doug
Without a hitch!
"The trailer is in great shape, everthing worked, we had a great
time."
Thanks,L&M
An enjoyable vacation
Mike B., "Just a short note to let you know that we really enjoyed our
vacation, and the use of your motor home made the trip so enjoyable. You
were so very accomodating and we appreciate the good service and would do
this again! Thanks from both of us! "Joseph
Fantastic rental!
Hi Cindy,
We rented an RV through your company from June 5 - 12 this year (2007) and
we just wanted you to know that we had a fantastic time and Trent N. the
owner of the RV is a super nice guy and couldn't have been any nicer to
work with. If you ever need a recommendation feel free to give me a call.
We will definately recommend your company to others and we would be more
than happy to rent from your company and Trent again and we will definately
be giving you a call if we get to Arizona again. We really appreciate you
helping us out. Your company did a great job and everything went just
really really nice! It was a great rental! Thanks again for everything
Cindy!
Sincerely,
Tom L.
Make a wish come true
Feb. 25, 2004
Dear Joyce and Cindy,
On behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the S. Central Pennsylvania
Regional office, I want to thank you for your generous donation in the
removal of your full commission fee for the RV rental for our Wish Child,
Michael B. and his family. Michael had a wonderful time in Arizona
visiting the Grand Canyon and camping in the RV. Our Wish Kids, kids
living with life-threatening medical conditions, have to face obstacles
that most of us will never know. They have doctor visits, medical
treatments and hospital stays to endure when what they want to do most is
to enjoy the normal joys of childhood. At Make-A-Wish Foundation, it is
our privilege to grant them a wish of a lifetime, and experience that will
allow them to be a kid again, without any thought of their illness.
Michael's wish to camp at the Grand Canyon could not have happened without
Organizations and people like you working together to make it a reality.
The Make-A-Wish foundation could not continue to grant wishes of children
without special donors like you!
Thank you!
Ann Waltman
Regional Manager
Make-A-Wish Foundation of Western Pennsylvania South Central office
Great time in America!!
Dear Cindy, We had a great time in America! And the RV was wonderful, as
well as the owners! They picked us up from the hotel the first day and they
let us eat and sleep in their home the last day and brought us to the
airport the next morning.We would love to work with you again in the
future. We will definately come back to visit your country again!Thank you
for your help and kindness!!Greetings Paul & Brenda
Thanks for your help!
I wanted to thank you soooo much for renting to us on such short notice,
and importantly for looking into a unit closer to us. We are so excited to
have the cushy comforts! I realize that you bent some rules and guidelines
to help our family and we really appreciate your trusting us! Thanks
again! Bill, Dianne, Olivia, Kaitlyn & Jake

Arthur Frommer Online Comments, opinion and advice from the founder of
Frommer's Travel Guides NEXT TIME YOU CONSIDER A VACATION BY RV, THINK OF
RENTING ONE DIRECTLY FROM A PRIVATE OWNER.Posted by Arthur Frommer at
3/30/2009 1:56 PM EDT
Every time I've either read or myself written about the rental of
recreational vehicles (like a Winnebago), the resulting article has been
about the several nationwide companies that rent them. Frankly, the
possibility of renting one directly from an owner has never occurred to me.
And yet the reasons for doing so are often identical to the advantages of
renting a vacation home or apartment directly from an owner: eliminating a
middleman, saving the costs of commissions, receiving a vacation product
that can sometimes be better furnished or maintained than one rented out by
a broker.
Yesterday, my daughter Pauline and her family (husband and two daughters, 6
and 10), returned from a highly successful one-week trip to the Grand
Canyon and other parts of Arizona, which was accomplished by flying to
Phoenix and there picking up a 32-foot Winnebago rented directly from a
local resident. Like numerous other Arizonans, she (the owner) had a
Winnebago that she herself uses for only several weeks in summer. And
therefore she was delighted to rent it to persons making use of the same
vehicle in autumn, winter and spring -- at charges much lower than a
standard rental company for recreational vehicles would charge. For that
Arizonan, the rental charge was found money.
She offered her Winnebago for rental on the Owner's Rental of Phoenix
website (WWW.OWNERSRENTAL.COM), a website devoted solely to RV rentals in
Arizona. If you'll go to Google and insert the words "rental of
recreational vehicles," you'll discover a great many such websites for
other states as well, all offering rentals of RVs owned by individuals
living in those particular states, most of them in the west.
The OWNERSRENTAL.COM website consists, in part, of dozens of
one-paragraph ads placed by residents of different cities in Arizona. Make
the choice, fly to that city, pick up your RV, and off you go. In
addition to paying less than the charges of a major, nationwide, RV rental
firm, Pauline and her husband figured they would be receiving an RV
equipped with far more useful accessories than would normally be provided
on a standard rental. In actual fact, the 32-foot Winnebago they rented had
a grill that they could place outside the vehicle for evening barbeques, TV
and VCR, a number of very fine folding chairs, and lots of pots and pans as
well as all the utensils they would need for a week of preparing meals. The
vehicle was beautifully maintained and yet exceedingly reasonable in rental
cost. The owner met them with the vehicle at the Phoenix Airport and
instructed them in its use.
The total cost of the RV for a week of touring Arizona (Grand Canyon,
Sedona, Jerome, and Phoenix) -- the vehicle itself, all gasoline, all
charges of the RV parks at which they stayed at night, all groceries for
their meals, insurance for the week (independently purchased by them), two
restaurant dinners, rentals of various DVDs for the kids, and ingredients
for several campfires at which 'smores were prepared for their own and
visiting children -- was $253 per day, total, for the four of them.
They could have spent much less, according to Pauline, had they rented a
smaller Winnebago or other brand of RV, or if they had bargained more
fiercely over the price (instead they had simply accepted the rental price
specified in the website).
For the same reason why so many smart vacationers go to Vacation
Rental by Owner (www.vrbo.com) to rent a vacation home or apartment, it
might be wise to go directly to an RV owner in renting a vacation vehicle.
For a vacation centered around one or more U.S. national parks, nothing
is more enjoyable -- or cost-effective. Pauline pointed out that at the
Grand Canyon, park authorities operate free shuttle service from RV parking
areas to major lookout points, and this is done in other major national
parks as well. There was no need for them to drive the RV further (and thus
incur additional gasoline costs) once they were in the park. She was also
agreeably surprised by the quality of the meals served in low-cost
cafeterias at Grand Canyon National Park, which now offer healthy, tasteful
salads alongside the standard hot dogs and hamburgers.
The prices are low, and the fact that your RV simply sits immobile for
several days in a parking area, means that you do not have to incur ruinous
costs of gasoline.
All in all, last week's vacation to this awesome national park was a
resounding success.

"I love RV's" by Pauline Frommer
PaulineFrommer wrote: Actually, one cost that was left out of this
re-telling was the cost of a rental car. We rented one at $45/day in Sedona
for three days so that we could get to trailheads more easily. There simply
was not place to park a 32-foot long Winnie except for the trailer village
itself.Another wonderful perk of RV travel is its social nature. In every
trailer village we went to, we met terrific people. Our daughters became
friends with other girls their age, and because the RV campgrounds lent out
toys (and videos) free of charge, they were able to spend their downtime
with these other kids playing frisbee, croquet and soccer. All in all, I
think this was one of our most successful family vacations, thanks in no
small part to doing it in an RV.Thanks for posting Dad!Pauline4/1/2009
