Cross-country RV rental
My wife and I rented a Cruise America RV from February 28, 2026, to March 7, 2026, to drive my 76-year-old aunt from her home in South Carolina to California where she had decided to move. My aunt is a retired disabled American veteran who served this country for 33-years in the Army and retired as a Colonel. Our goal was to get her safely back to California and have some fun along the way.
It was a terrible experience.
We picked up the 25' RV near Charleston, SC. The RV smelled like 4 guys had lived in it for a month without showering. Also, the tire pressure sensor was flashing. We were told by the attendant that it was the only RV available and that the tire pressure sensor was broken, but that the tire pressures were fine (we had to ignore the beeping sensor throughout the trip). So we cleaned and deodorized the RV as best and we could and got on the road with my aunt.
The suspension was the worst part of the RV. My aunt described it as "riding in a stagecoach." Moreover, unless you were in the front seat, the thing was so loud while driving that we couldn't hear each other to talk. The ride was so bad and loud that we had to stop each day after driving just 5-6 hours because our collective nerves were shot.
Then, after we pulled into our first RV park in SC, we discovered that the heater didn't work. I had to give my aunt a wool sweater to sleep in that night under several blankets but she still froze her butt off. I was so embarrassed over the entire debacle.
The next morning, while still in SC, I contacted Customer Service and demanded a replacement RV with better suspension and a working heater and tire pressure sensor. Cruise America did not have one available near us (around the border between SC and GA), so they advised us to "keep driving - we'll find you a different one along your route." They could not even find a mechanic en route who could at least repair the heater. They could offer us nothing. No replacement RV could be found by Cruise America from SC to New Mexico. So we ended up staying in hotels every night on the road (significantly increasing the cost of the trip) until we finally dumped the piece of junk off in Clovis, California. (If you are ever offered to rent RV Unit No. 240220, run away fast.)
I will say that the person I dealt with at customer service (named Lyle) tried in good faith to help and was kind on the phone. But the decision was not in Lyle's hands. The RV was just a piece of junk that should have been retired 8 years earlier.
I do NOT recommend renting an RV from Cruise America.

Rented from the Duluth, GA office for a road trip around Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans, Montgomery and Atlanta. The office reached out the week before our arrival to plan our pick-up. Arrangements were easy to follow with some good advice shared. The RV was used but clean, tidy and mechanically sound. Did our 1600 miles without missing a beat. The hand-back was quick and easy. No dramas. Great customer service. Would definitely use again.

We had to cancel a one way trip due to family illness and the customer service department gave us our deposit back in the form of a gift certificate good for two years. Considering their policy clearly states no deposit refund for one way trips I was very grateful for the gesture.

Never again
Last year we rented a 25' motorhome from Modern Classics in Westland, MI, and just a few weeks ago rented a 30' motorhome, for almost 3 weeks. We had so many issues with this rv. The rear view mirrors shook so hard when driving, I couldn't even see anything in them. I called Modern Classics, and they said bring it back and they would "fix" it. Well, we live 1 hour away, and were getting ready to leave the next day, so we weren't about to waste the time going back. They said "just use some tape on them", which I ended up doing. The hose connector leaked badly, I ended up having to buy a new seal for it.The handle for gray water was broken and leaked. The ground pin was bent on the power cord, making it really hard to hook up and make a proper connection. The bed was terrible! Not only was it up really high and hard to climb onto, but the mattress (which is covered in thick plastic) was the worst we'd ever slept on, my wife and I woke up each morning achy. The toilet was awful! It's up very high on a platform, so unless you are very tall, is VERY hard to use! One of the lights in the bathroom was broken. I couldn't just replace the bulb since it was hardwired. We both wear contacts and could barely see to put them in, or even see to brush our teeth. The weather stripping on main door was coming out on bottom (same as the rv last year).The compartments below were filthy, as was the floor at driver and passenger seats.
EVERYTHING on this rig is made very cheaply. There's not even a backup monitor, and the thermostat is hard to set, it's either "up" or "down". In the cab, there's no "recycle air" feature, so you smell terrible exhaust when driving. A real saftely hazzard is the location of the gas stove. The dinette is up against the stove, and anyone sitting there is just an inch or so away from an open flame when the stove is in use. There should be a barrier there, at the very least! Modern Classics does not maintain their rvs well at all. And they are just really cheaply made. Will NEVER rent one of these again! The real kicker is how they nickle and dime EVERYTHING. They even charge you if you want to park your car on there.

Hi John,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about the number of issues you experienced during your recent rental.
We understand how frustrating it must have been to encounter multiple concerns, especially those affecting drivability, comfort, and overall usability of the RV. Your comments regarding the mirrors, plumbing components, electrical connections, cleanliness, and interior features are important and will be shared with the appropriate team for review.
We also regret that the guidance provided at the time did not meet your expectations and that your experience differed from what you anticipated, particularly as a returning customer.

The airlines cancelled all of our flights out to Utah the day before our scheduled departure so the RV trip was a no go. Cruise America refused to refund the $300 deposit.

Absolutely horrible experience
Absolutely horrible experience. The customer service was unacceptable. The vehicle was unsafe to drive, yet the representative insisted that we drive three hours back to the center or face a $2,000 charge. That demand was unreasonable given the safety concerns.
The woman I spoke with was extremely rude and unprofessional. This situation was handled poorly from start to finish.
I have filed formal complaints with the Attorney General, the Better Business Bureau, and the Consumer Protection Agency. I am also preparing to pursue legal action regarding this matter.
Instead of helping me they made it more unsafe.
