About Classic Adventures RV Rentals

Classic Adventures RV makes everything convenient, especially if you rent a unit for special events like Hot August Nights, Reno Air Races and High Sierra Musical Festival or just plainly want to take a break from the city drama. The company offers a full line of motorhomes, travel trailers, toy haulers and utility trailers. They have discounts for multiple rentals as well as offer price match guarantee. And if you don’t want to pick-up or drop-off the RV, don’t worry because they can deliver it and set it up for you. Also, pets are allowed, with approval.

Fleet

All Classic Adventures RVs are late Winnebagos. The company does not feature the exact RV on their website and only provide floor layout for reference. The rental range is quite extensive, with options depending on your budget, size, and preferences. You do not need to have a special license to drive these RVs, except for the diesel pushers. All RVs are equipped with a generator that includes 5 free hours usage as well as 50 free miles per night. In addition, all kitchen ware, bedding and towels are provided while bike racks are available upon request. The Class A RVs come with leveling jacks and are great for bigger groups while the Class C are suitable for smaller groups looking for a compact and easy to drive van. The diesel pushers, on the other hand, are the options for posh travellers on the hunt for luxurious apartment on wheels.

Vehicles

Budget RVs

Budget 1

A perfect entry level motorhome for those on tight budget, this RV has 3 sleeping areas— on the dinette, sofa bed and overhead bed. The unit does not come with a slide-out and is pretty limited in terms of space. Still, you are provided with 5 seat belts, allowing it to cater small families. This automatic transmission RV is also effecient on the road with the help of its Ford E350 Chassis and 6.8L Super-Duty V10 SOHC Triton engine.

Budget 2

Also with 3 sleeping areas, the second Budget option now provides extra sleeping capacity because of its extended length. Instead of allocating the entire back area just for the bathroom, the rear is also apportioned for the queen bed with shirt closet. There wouldn't be much privacy with the rear bedroom because it is positioned next to the kitchen. For added comfort, there is a lounge chair near the step well and optional TV location at the cab-over.

Budget 3

A 31' RV that sleeps up to 7, this last Budget model is definitely a great bargain. This bunkhouse model has two slide-out rooms, one at the sofa bed and the other at the rear area. The unit is bigger allowing it to provide a more spacious vibe without leaving behind all the essential comforts of home like kitchen, shower, toilet, sleeping quarters, dining area and living room. 

Class C RVs

19 Economy

Suitable for those looking for a small and easy to handle unit, the Class C Economy is the best option for groups of five. The sleeping areas for this unit are the rear queen bed, overhead bed with optional TV location and transformable U-shaped dinette. This RV is more or less the same with the Budget 1 option. 

20 Standard

No slide-outs but features a Chevrolet Express 3500 chassis, this 6 berth motorhome takes pride of its 324-hp 6.0L GM Vortec engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. This RV furnishes a kitchen galley next to the living room and right upon you enter the cabin. The sofa bed and dinette sleeper are positioned adjacent to each other. 

21 Preferred

Slightly bigger, the 21 Preferred is another 6 berth unit preferably for groups wanting some extra space, particularly in the living room and bedroom.The living room only features the dinette— no sofa bed, plus it comes with a slide-out. Further, the rear is only for the queen bed with nightstand, shirt closet and wardrobe. 

22 Classic

The 22 Classic makes a nice RV for groups up to 7. This 31' unit features a slide-out in the sofa bed and dinette bed. Hence, the living area is pretty much cozier. The entry step is situated next to the front passenger seat. The bathroom has a step up and a separate toilet and shower for a little privacy. There's also a sliding door before going to the rear bedroom.  

23 Deluxe Family

A 31', the Deluxe Family is the choice for picky travellers in need of personal space. Equipped with 7 seat belts, the motorhome has sleeping areas in every corner of the cabin— rear queen bed, bunk beds at the side, sofa bed room, dinette sleeper and overhead bed. Since this only provides capacity for up to 7 people, you can opt for the cab-over to be converted into a premier package for spectacular entertainment. 

Class A RVs

24 Deluxe 

There are also options for guests that prefer the Class A comfort— scenic road views and better driving sessions. Let's start with the Deluxe model, a large unit with 5 sleeping areas and 7 seat belts. This unit has 2 slide-outs to give better layout in the living room and bedroom. Featuring a powerful Ford F53 Chassis and 6.8L Super Duty V10 SOHC Triton engine, this automatic RV provides a very smooth and reliable ride. 

25 Premium

This double slide-out RV is the pick for renters who are looking for versatility features like that of bunk beds with its own entertainment set or sofa bed that provides extra comfort because of its slide-out. A huge motorhome, it can sleep up to 7 people. 

26 Diesel Pusher

The biggest Class A and also the biggest in the entire fleet, the  26 Diesel Pusher is still a 7 sleeper motorhome yet accents a sturdy Roadmaster chassis and smooth Cummins Turbo-diesel and automatic 6-speed Allison transmission. Because of its extended length, technically at 38', it can provide a very spacious access through the basement storage. Not only that, it has two slide-outs for a more comfortable layout.

Specialty Diesel

27 Specialty Diesel

Last motorhome rental category is the diesel pusher—  luxurious RV that provides more than enough comforts of home or simply posh apartment on wheels. There are two 'Specialty Diesel' units, both 24 foot length RVs that mainly differ with the interior layout. The 27 Specialty Diesel is the one with slide-out located in the U-shaped dinette and refrigerator. The shower and toilet is positioned beside the queen rear to provide a roomier living area. 

28 Specialty Diesel

The other Specialty Diesel is the one with sofa sleeper room. The sofa bed comes with a table so that it also acts as the dining area. There is another slide-out at the rear to expand the queen bed. Comparatively, the bathroom is located at the center area, so this model has a roomier private bedroom.

Insurance

The company allows you to provide your own insurance binder. In case that your deductible is more than $5,000, you are required to match the security deposit with the amount of the deductible. For the motorhomes, the security deposit is $1, 000 in the form of signed credit card imprint.

Reputation

It's no question that Classic Adventures RV has a very attractive fleet of different Winnebago sizes and layouts. These are mostly older units so the rates aren't that unreasonably high. However, because of the vehicle age, certain downsides arise that slightly create a negative impact to the company's reputation. Though claimed to be well-maintained motorhomes, some reviews state otherwise. Despite of the mixed standing, the company still aims to provide a reliable and affordable campervan hire. 

Summary

Classic Adventures RV's array of older RVs in different sizes and layout gives plenty of options for touring families. You will not be spending your entire savings with their motorhomes but better take into account all the conditions set by the company before heading out to the open road.
