rv camping tips
I’m looking to rent a travel trailer/RV that will deliver and setup in New Paltz, NY. My car can’t tow a RV.

I live in VT, 5 hours from New Paltz where I’ll be at a training for almost 2 weeks. A co. in VT delivers and sets up RVs anywhere. It will cost $1195 total for however long I keep the trailer in New Paltz. I’m looking for a RV dealer near New Paltz who will deliver and setup. My VW can’t tow anything, I’d rather not drive a big rig, and the RV will remain at the same site until I leave. I’ll use my car while in New Paltz. I’m looking for temporary housing for me and my cat because I can camp for free where the training is but prefer not to have to use a tent if I can find a RV cheaper than $1195. If I can find a better deal at a nearby B&B or motel, that’s even better. Thanks for any tips!

I would suggest to save the hassle check the websites below.
There people who haul trailers but beware if they are not bonded and insured. That being said, there are many full time RVers. I would go to escapees.com and locate the Escapee coordinator (for get-togethers) in you area. At the very worst, shoot them an email and they’ll get you in touch with they couple. Then…they would know who might be willing to take their truck and haul your rig for a fee. I’ve heard some charge in different ways: a flat fee, a flat fee plus gas, an amount per mile (both coming to get the trailer and taking it to where it should go), or an amount per mile from pick up only. The last document also gives some numbers to call. Good luck.

RV is a must-read for anyone thinking about buying a new or used recreational vehicle. In addition to pointers on obtaining the right vehicle, this little book by Bob Miller and Nan Kilar is loaded with tips that will help owners get the most from their investment. "Owning an RV is like buying a second home somewhere you think you might enjoy living, only better," says Kilar. "If you’re wrong, you can unhook and move. When I look at our RV, I see hundreds of time-shares and realize it cost about what one time-share would have cost . . . and the best part is I don’t have to share it."
