[TR] RV Rental (kind of Triumph related)

[pethier at comcast.net]

I can't share any experience with CruiseAmerica, but I have seen lots of them on the road out west.  The occupants seemed to be smiling.

When Sue and I went the 2009 VTR in California we checked with CruiseAmerica, but found that they would not allow a trailer weighing more than 2500 pounds.  No way old Pace trailer with a TR4 inside was going to qualify.  We rented from a local outfit (Two locations in Minnesota and Manitoba) which had a unit they would rent for a trailer up to 8000 pounds.

If you are not taking a trailer, you options will be a lot wider than ours were.  The outfit we rented from had a 5-day minimum.  They waived it for the shakedown weekend we took The Rendezvous since we were taking the rig for 4 weeks for the VTR.
