least 25 years of age, have a valid drivers’ license, and present a major credit
card to secure the Security/Damage Deposit. All additional drivers must be listed
on the Rental Agreement and provide copy of valid license.
Security/Damage Deposits
- A minimum REFUNDABLE Security/Damage Deposit is required. This refundable deposit
is in addition to the rental cost. The security deposit may be increased at our
sole discretion. Total deposit amount must be placed on a major credit card, in
the RENTER”S NAME ONLY, at the time of reservation. Check cards, checks or cash
is not accepted on deposits. Deposits are refundable within 15 business days after
the conclusion of the rental, minus deductions applicable to damage, excess generator

will be applied to any refund requested to be placed back onto a credit card. Credit
card refunds can only be applied to the original card given for the deposit.
Cancellation
Policy - The security deposit secures your specific reservation. If you cancel 30
days or more before your departure date, we will refund the deposit less a $50 processing
fee. If you cancel inside 30 days but more than 14 days of the departure date, we
will apply your deposit to a future rental within the calendar year. If you cancel
within 14 days of your departure date, you will lose your deposit.
Substitutions
- Every effort is made to provide the vehicle requested. We reserve the right to
substitute similar or a higher-grade vehicle if necessary. If a vehicle of lower
grade is offered and accepted, our liability is only the price difference between
the two vehicles. RV Connection is not responsible for consequential damages.
Generator
- All motorhomes are equipped with generators. They are not necessary for normal
vehicle operation. If the customer chooses to use the generator, extra charges apply.
Vehicle Return - All units are to be returned by 12 Noon on the last day of the

daily rate. There are no refunds or credits on early returns. Holding tanks must
be returned empty or we will charge a $50 dump fee.

vehicle roof is strictly forbidden with the exception of our Airstream SkyDeck.
Renter is responsible for all roof damage. All agreements will be void if determined
that damages or injuries, including death, occurred while on the roof and all costs
associated will be the sole liability of the renter.
Smoking – Smoking is NOT PERMITTED
in any unit. Failure to comply will result in automatic forfeiture of entire deposit
plus all related cleaning charges and odor removal if determined that smoking has
occurred either by the renter or someone associated with the renter. This cost would
include any loss of rental.
Pets – We recommend not bringing pets on an RV trip.
Due to complications some may have with pet allergies, typically pets are not allowed.
However, there are select units we will allow small pets in. Final decision is at
our sole discretion. Customers are responsible for any/all pet damage to the vehicles
as well as the additional cleaning required for any vehicle having an animal in
it. If a pet is allowed, an additional pet deposit of $200.00 ($100.00 of which
is NON-REFUNDABLE) will need to be issued on a major credit card. Deposit will be
refunded in accordance with our refund policy.
